Dumbbell Sumo Deadlift

1. Starting Position:

- Point your toes slightly outward.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended down in front of you.

3. Setting Your Body:
- Keep your chest up and shoulders back.
- Engage your core to support your lower back.
- Look straight ahead.

4. Lowering Phase:
- Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body.
- Push your hips back while keeping your chest lifted.
- Lower the dumbbells towards the ground while maintaining a flat back.
- Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor or you feel a stretch in your inner thighs.

5. Lifting Phase:
- Push through your heels to rise back up.
- Extend your hips forward and straighten your legs.
- Return to the starting position with control, squeezing your glutes at the top.

6. Repetitions:
- Perform 8-12 repetitions.
- Rest as needed between sets.

Tips:
- Focus on maintaining good form rather than lifting heavy weights.
- Ensure that your knees track in line with your toes throughout the movement.
