The Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift is a strength training exercise that targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. It also helps improve balance and stability.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.
2. Keeping your back straight, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells towards the floor. Your knees should have a slight bend but try to keep them as straight as possible.
3. Lower the dumbbells until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, but be sure to keep your back straight and your chest lifted throughout the movement.
4. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting position, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury. Be sure to use a weight that challenges you but allows you to perform the exercise with proper technique.
