2A Elevated Dumbbell Deadlift
Sets: 2-3 Reps: 12 Tempo: 311 Rest: 0 Seconds
Hold a pair of dumbbells and stand on a surface that's elevated a few inches (it could be a box or two weight plates stacked on top of each other, as shown here). Keeping your lower back in its natural arch, crouch down, resting the weights on the floor [1]. Extend your hips and knees to stand straight up with the dumbbells [2]. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That's one rep.
