How to do a deadlift with front row:
- Stand upright holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs, with your knees slightly bent.
- Keeping your arms straight and knees slightly bent, slowly hinge forward, bending at your hips (not your waist) and lowering the weights as far as possible without rounding your back.
- Squeeze your glutes to return to standing, keeping your back straight.
- Once you're standing, draw your elbows up to pull the weights up the front of your body, bringing them to your chin with elbows wide.
- Lower the weights to return to the starting position. That's one rep.
