How to do it

01
Grasp a couple of dumbbells holding them by your side at arm's length.
02
Stand with your torso straight and your legs spaced using a shoulder width or narrower stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position.
03
Keeping the knees stationary, lower the dumbbells to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back straight. Keep moving forward as if you were going to pick something from the floor until you feel a stretch on the hamstrings. Exhale as you perform this movement
04
Start bringing your torso up straight again by extending your hips and waist until you are back at the starting position. Inhale as you perform this movement.
05
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Stiff-Legged Dumbbell Deadlift appears when you own dumbbells and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.
