Dumbbell Swing — glutes compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Dumbbell Swing

Compound · Weight × reps

Snap the hips forward to float the weight to about chest height and let it fall back into the next hinge. Do not squat each repetition, lift with the shoulders, or use a dumbbell whose plates or collars can loosen. Learn the hinge and two-hand kettlebell swing pattern first; stop the set when timing or grip deteriorates rather than muscling the weight higher.
