Machine Belt Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift
The single-leg Romanian deadlift on a belt squat machine with a handle clipped to its lever; the machine carries the load's path while the free leg reaches back.
How to do it
Setup
On the platform facing the machine, the handle in both hands at the thighs, weight on one leg, knee soft.
Steps
- Tip forward on the standing leg, the free heel pushing back.
- Keep the handle close under the shoulders, hips square.
- Drive the standing hip forward to rise; finish the leg, switch.
Common mistakes
Standing where the lever drags the handle forward: set the foot so the handle hangs under the shoulders. Hips opening toward the free leg: both hip points face the platform. Locking the standing knee: keep it soft.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
