How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hold one dumbbell in the assigned hand and place the other hand lightly on a stable support for balance.
  2. 02Shift your weight onto the working leg, soften its knee, and let the free leg reach behind you.
  3. 03Push the hips backward and hinge forward with a long spine while the dumbbell travels toward the working foot.
  4. 04Stop when the standing-leg hamstring is well loaded and the hips can still remain square to the floor.
  5. 05Drive the working hip forward to stand tall, using the support only lightly, and reset your balance before repeating.
