Strong From Home: Dumbbell RDL
The Dumbbell RDL is a great tool to develop strong and powerful hamstrings and glutes.
The hip hinge is one of the best ways to develop a strong posterior chain, which in turn helps minimize back pain, and reduce the risk of injury. You may not have access to a barbell to do these, but the dumbbell version is a great replacement, and is also something that should be done when you return to normal training.
We typically perform these in sets of 12-20 reps, but depending on your dumbbell size, may want to go as low as 6 reps and as high as 20. As always, with any movement progression, pick a moderately challenging sets and rep scheme, and add either pauses, tempo, reps, or weight each week!
