Dumbbell Deadlift — back compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Dumbbell Deadlift

Compound · Weight × reps

Push the floor away and extend your hips and knees together to stand, then return the weights along the same close path. Avoid pulling with rounded slack or reaching the floor if your setup does not permit it; blocks can raise the weights. Handles may be easier to reach than a bar, but the movement still requires load-appropriate bracing and is not automatically beginner-safe.
