Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs. With knees slightly bent and back flat, push your hips back and let the dumbbells slide down your legs until you feel a strong stretch in the hamstrings, then drive the hips forward to stand. The dumbbell version of the Romanian deadlift — the best hamstring builder you can do at home.

Not tiered.

Cue: Dumbbells slide down the thighs; hips back until the hamstrings stop you.

What it does not train: knee-flexion hamstring function.

Loads: lumbar

Difficulty: intermediate
