Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding a dumbbell at one end with both hands. Bring the dumbbell to rest behind your head on your upper back, securing it in place with both hands. Keep your elbows pointing outwards and your knees slightly bent.
2. Begin the movement by pushing your hips back and hinging at the waist, keeping your back straight and your core tight. Lower your torso until it's near parallel with the floor or as far as you can go without rounding your back.
3. Focus on feeling the stretch in your hamstrings as you lower down.
4. Reverse the motion by extending your hips to return to the starting position, driving through with your glutes and hamstrings.
5. Avoid rounding your lower back throughout the exercise to prevent injury.
6. Perform the desired number of reps and sets.
Make sure to warm up before doing this exercise and start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form.
