Dumbbell Straight Leg Deadlift

Stand upright with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.

Keep your knees slightly bent and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.

Focus on hinging at the hips rather than bending at the waist to protect your lower back.

Keep the dumbbells close to your body throughout the movement to maintain balance and control.

Rounding the lower back instead of hinging from the hips.

Turning the movement into a deep knee bend rather than keeping a soft, stable knee position.

Letting the dumbbells travel away from the legs or dropping too quickly.
