Bodyweight Single-Leg Deadlift against Ball
The single-leg hinge with a stability ball pinned between the back foot and a wall: the free leg presses the ball the whole time, which steadies the balance.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a wall, a stability ball pinned between the wall and the raised back foot, hands at the chest.
Steps
- Hinge over the standing leg, pressing the ball into the wall with the back foot.
- Keep the ball from rolling as the torso lowers.
- Rise back to standing; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Ball dropping as you hinge: keep pressing it into the wall. Standing knee locking: keep it soft. Rounding at the bottom: hinge only as far as the back stays flat.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
