Starting Position
- place two dumbbells a bit wider than shoulder width on the ground
- stand in front of them with shoulder width opened legs
- bend the knees and tilt the upper body forward
- push the bottom back
- your upper back remains upright, the lower part forms a slight hollow-back
- encompass the weights with stretched out arms with hammer grip (the palms point to each other)
- your sight and chest point forwards (not down) throughout the whole exercise
Correct Execution
- brace your body, especially the core, and put pressure on your heels
- stretch legs and hip, guide the weights past the shanks and knees closely until you reach an upright position
- hold the shoulders backward, the chest still points forward while you erect your body
- push your hip forward at the end of the movement, but do not lean back
- pause shortly and correct your position if necessary (pull back the shoulders)
- invert the motion and let the weights sink down
- avoid an arched back
- repeat several times for an effective strength workout
