A hip-hinge variation performed with the dumbbells mostly in front of the legs. This demonstration shows a deeper forward hinge than the related side-hold variation. The hips move back as the torso lowers and then returns to standing under control.
Stand with the dumbbells in front of the legs and keep a steady stance.
Move the hips back and hinge forward with the dumbbells traveling in front of the legs through the deeper demonstrated range.
Extend the hips to return to standing without jerking the dumbbells or forcing extra depth.
Keep the dumbbells close enough to maintain control throughout the hinge.
Choose a load that lets you return from the deeper shown range smoothly.
Start with the dumbbells at the sides and shorten the hinge, changing this demonstrated variation.
Force a deeper range by rounding the back or pulling the weights upward with a jerk.
