Dumbbell Deadlift Bent-Over Row
The dumbbell deadlift with a bent-over row at the bottom: the knees bend and the bells go low by the shins, and the row comes before each stand.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, feet hip-width, a dumbbell in each hand at the sides, palms facing in.
Steps
- Bend the knees and hinge until the bells are low by the shins, back flat.
- Row both bells to the waist and lower them again.
- Drive through the floor to stand, the bells close to the legs.
Common mistakes
Hips shooting up before the chest: the legs and the back rise together. Torso lifting during the row: hold the bottom angle while the arms pull. Bells drifting away from the legs: keep them close to the shins and the thighs.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the row, inhale, exhale standing up.
