Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift, female athlete, 3 sequential frames — female

How to perform it

01 Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.
02 Set a small natural arch in your lower back and pull your shoulder blades down.
03 Soften your knees slightly and keep that bend fixed for the whole rep.
04 Push your hips straight back and lower the dumbbells close to your legs until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings.
05 Stop when your back is about to round — for most people that is around mid-shin.
06 Drive your hips forward to stand tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.
