    How to: Dumbbell Sumo Pull Through

    1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed out slightly.
    2. Hold a dumbbell with both hands between your legs, arms extended.
    3. Engage your glutes and core, and push your hips back as you lower the dumbbell toward your ankles.
    4. Drive through your heels to return to the starting position, pulling the dumbbell through your legs until standing tall.
    5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

    Common Mistakes

    • Rounding the back during the pull.
    • Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
    • Letting the dumbbell drift too far from the body.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise without weights.
    • Use resistance bands for lighter resistance.

    Tips

    • Engage your core to maintain stability throughout the movement.
    • Keep your back straight and avoid rounding your shoulders.
    • Use a moderate weight initially to focus on form before increasing the load.
