Weighted Deadlift
What it is:
Weighted Deadlift
How you do it:
Begin with feet hip-width and parallel or wider. Have your arms long in front of your chest with a kettlebell or dumbbell centered in between your feet. Roll your shoulders down your back, engage your core, and put a soft bend in your knees. With your weight in your heels, hinge from your hips with a flat back, abs pulling in, and arms lowered right under your shoulders. Once your chest is parallel to the ground, press through your heels to come back up to standing while squeezing your glute muscles.
Where you feel it:
You will feel this in your hamstrings and glute muscles.
How often:
A weighted deadlift is essential to add to your list of workouts on lifting days. Our fitness professionals recommend including a deadlift in your routine at least twice a week.
