• Extending your right hand behind, straightening your elbow to work your triceps in the kickback.
• Bend the elbow, and lower the weight. Pick the weight up with your left hand to complete the row, and kickback on the other side.

Challenge your balance, and work the back of your legs with this deadlift variation.

• Hold one dumbbell with both hands, and lift your left foot slightly off the ground.
• Keeping your back neutral, lean your entire torso forward while raising your left leg, which should stay in line with your body. The dumbbell will lower toward the ground. Keep your shoulder blades pulled down your back.
• With your back straight, return upright, coming to your starting position. This completes one rep. Maximize this move by keeping your right foot off the ground as you go through your reps.
• Do 10 reps, then switch sides.
