Dumbbell Sumo Deadlift

A wide-stance deadlift variation targeting quads, glutes, and hamstrings while engaging the core for stability.

Instructions:

• Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width, toes slightly pointed out, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.

• Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged.

• Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower the dumbbells toward the floor, keeping them close to your body.

• Drive through your heels to return to standing, squeezing your glutes at the top.

Common mistakes:

• Rounding the back during the descent.

• Letting the knees collapse inward.

• Allowing the dumbbells to drift away from the body.
