(SL) SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT

 

The Single Leg Deadlift may be done with weights in both hands, or weight in one hand on the same side as support leg or the most challenging (in terms of stability) with weight in opposite hand/side of support leg. Big chest, activate lat/core muscles, big breath in. Shift body weight onto support leg and reach back with the opposite leg pushing hips back/load hamstrings before bending knees. Keep back neutral and hips/shoulders square – avoid twisting (anti-rotation).

 

Finish all reps and then repeat on the opposite side.
