Steve, how true. The DB DL is a great movement!The two-dumbbell deadlift is, IMO, a better "alternative DL" than using a hex bar. Since I have lots of Oly weights, I keep a pair of Oly dumbbells handles around. Both the 2- and 1-dumbbell deadlifts are contested in the USAWA.

I have several Olympic DB handles but one thing to remember with them is quality collars are needed! I have a pair Rogue DB 15 dumbbell handles that come with an OSO collar that I like. Stays secure in overhead work but I find that the ironmind "big boy" handles with the double screw down "bulldog" collars are awesome for security with overhead work. For deadlifts it not as much of a concern.
