Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift

Starts from a standing position with heels under hips and dumbbells held at hip level. Maintain soft knees, brace abs, keep chest proud, and drag dumbbells down thighs with a flat back. No set, rep, or rest prescription is stated in the source tutorial; 1 set and 60 seconds rest are app defaults.

Key points

  • Stand with heels under hips and dumbbells at hip level
  • Keep a slight bend in your knees throughout the movement
  • Squeeze chest to the ceiling and brace your abdominals
  • Drag dumbbells close to thighs with straight arms and a flat back
  • Lower until you feel a stretch in the hamstrings without rounding the back
  • Keep neck neutral, looking slightly downward in the bottom position

Common mistakes

Chest caving and upper back rounding as you bend at the hips; bending the knees excessively during the downward phase.
