Dead Lifts

This is an excellent exercise for the legs – buttocks and lower back.

START	FINISH	SIDE VIEW

Place your feet shoulder width apart, bend down grasping the dumbbells with your hands, having your arms straight, palms facing inwards, just outside your knees.

Commence the exercise with your legs bent, feet firmly on the floor with your buttocks pushed back, back straight with head up.

Smoothly straighten your legs, keeping your back and arms straight, aiming to keep the weights close to your legs throughout.

Avoid leaning to far forward, or jerking in the initial lift.
