Start standing upright, holding dumbbells at your sides with palms facing forward. Perform a bicep curl, bringing the dumbbells towards your shoulders. Next, hinge at the hips, leaning forward slightly with a straight back forming a staggered stance. Pull the dumbbells up towards your waist for a back row.
Common Mistakes
