The Amazing Stickie and Deadlift to Curl






The Amazing Stickie loves to be efficient.  So today she is working her whole body by doing the deadlift-to-curl.  She begins standing with good posture holding some dumbbells.  She chooses the weight based on what she can curl, not on her maximum deadlift weight.  Then, keeping her chest lifted (slight thoracic extension, in technical terms), she hinges forward at the hips, letting the weights dangle at the end of her arms.  She returns to her starting position, except that she bends her elbows so that the weights curl up toward her shoulders.  She lowers them back to the actual starting position before doing the next rep.  Sets of twenty are good.
