    Hi,

    Can anyone advise on some solid lower back exercises that target the lower back but can be done with dumbbells.
    I work out at home so have limited equipment.

    I suppose one exercise I'm trying to replicate is the deadlift but when I look online the form and technique looks more or less the same for normal/stiff/Romanian/good mornings with dumbbells.

    Any exercise suggestions along with tips on form would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Stiff leg deadlift tech with DBs is basically the same as barbell.

    ...but I'm not sure if I'm reading your Q correctly.

    Also, slow tempo bent over rows - 3 seconds up, 3 seconds down for 10 reps. That'l give you 60s time under tension at your lower back from a supporting perspective.

    Core work is probably more important for lower back health anyway so make sure you're doing plenty of that too.

    You reckon he's got a hyper bench at home in a gym that just has Dumbbells?

    Thanks Hanley. I was asking two different questions but you picked up on both!
    How do I do a deadlift with dumbbells and what are other lower back exercises for dummbeels only/home.

    Interestingly my next question was going to is there a way to do hyperextensions at home without the requisite bench!

    I guess he could lie on the couch with his belly over the side of the armrest and a friend sitting on his feet...

    You could lie belly down on a short sturdy table I suppose
