How to: Dumbbell Sitting Good Morning
- Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the ground and knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height.
- Without rounding your back, hinge forward at the hips while keeping your chest up.
- Lower the dumbbells towards your feet while maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
- Return to the starting position by engaging your glutes and driving your hips forward.
Common Mistakes
- Bending the back excessively instead of hinging at the hips.
- Using too much weight too soon, leading to poor form.
