HAMSTRINGS

Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift to Shrug

BeginnerDumbbell

A hinge-and-shrug combo that trains the hamstrings and glutes on the way down and the traps at the top. Adding the shrug turns a lower body movement into one that also builds the upper back. Useful for hitting the whole posterior chain in a single, flowing rep.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder width, a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your thighs.

  2. 2

    Brace your core, keep your chest up and back flat.

  3. 3

    Hinge your hips back and fold forward until your hamstrings stretch, dumbbells in front of your shins.

  4. 4

    In one motion, straighten your legs and drive your hips forward to stand.

  5. 5

    As you finish, shrug your shoulders up toward your ears and hold for a beat.

  6. 6

    Lower your shoulders, return to the hinge, and repeat.
