Start Position: Stand with knees slightly bent.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand, keeping both arms by your sides. These can also be
performed with a barbell.
MidPoint: Keeping back straight and dumbbells close to your legs all the way down, lower the weights to your feet. You should feel a great stretch in your hamstrings and glutes. The lower back comes into play some, but try not to contract it too much. Keep your head up. Finish Position: Return to the starting position in the same manner you lowered the weights, focusing on using hamstring and glute strength. Stop short of standing upright, and go right into into the next repetition. A smooth, continuous motion for 8-12 reps per set. |
