Band Single Stiff-Leg Deadlift
A single-leg stiff-leg deadlift against a band anchored low in front, so the pull grows as the torso comes back up.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one leg a few steps from a low anchor, a handle in each hand, arms long, the free leg just off the floor.
Steps
- Hinge on the standing leg, the free leg rising behind in line with the torso.
- Keep the arms straight and the hips square to the floor.
- Stand tall against the band's pull; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Band yanking you forward at the bottom: step farther from the anchor or use a lighter band. Hips opening toward the free side: point both hip bones at the floor. Standing knee locking hard: keep it soft.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
