DB deadlifts - 15 reps, 4x

Beginning – (my grandma) holding two light weight DB’s or no weight, stand feet shoulder width, bend at the waist with back flat and knees a little bent, reach as far as you can towards your toes so it stretches your legs, then stand.

Intermediate – (my mom in the middle) holding two medium weights, stand shoulder width apart, bend at the waist and reach down towards toes with back flat, slight bend in your knees, so it stretches the back of your legs, then stand.

Advanced – (me) holding heavy DB’s, bend at the waist and reach all the way down to your toes with back flat so it stretches the back of your legs, keep legs as straight as you can, then stand.
