The Dumbbell Sumo Pull Through exercise is a variation of the traditional Sumo Deadlift that targets the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. It also helps to improve grip strength and overall stability.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Sumo Pull Through exercise, follow these steps:1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell with both hands in front of you.
2. Take a wide stance, similar to a sumo wrestler, with your toes pointing out slightly.
3. Bend at the hips and knees, lowering the dumbbell between your legs towards the floor. Keep your back flat and chest up throughout the movement.
4. Once the dumbbell reaches the floor, push through your heels and drive your hips forward to stand back up. Keep the dumbbell close to your body as you drive your hips forward.
5. At the top of the movement, squeeze your glutes and engage your core to maintain stability.
6. Lower the dumbbell back between your legs and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
