Pick the dumbbells up and hold them in front of your shoulders while standing straight up. With feet hip width apart begin a squat motion by pressing your glutes back and sitting down till your legs make a 90-degree angle. Keep the weight in your heels. Stand back up from squat position. Lower the weight in front of you and now hinge your upper body forward into a deadlift position, bringing the weights in front of your shins, keeping a slight bend in your knees. Come back to standing. This completes one repetition.
