How to: Dumbbell Sumo Deadlift
- Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
- Engage your core and hinge at the hips, lowering the dumbbells toward the floor while keeping your back straight.
- Push through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back during the lift.
- Lifting with the arms instead of using the legs and hips.
- Not engaging the core.
Modifications
- Reduce the weight used for better form.
- Perform the exercise with a resistance band for support.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and brace your core throughout the movement.
- Focus on pushing your hips back rather than bending your knees too much.
- Ensure the dumbbells are positioned evenly on either side of your body.
