Single-Leg Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift
The single-leg hinge with dumbbells, which are easier to balance than a bar.
How to do it
Setup
Bells at the thighs, stand on one leg, knee soft.
Steps
- Hinge over the standing leg, bells tracking it.
- Free leg reaches long behind as the counterweight.
- Stand by driving the hips forward.
Common mistakes
Hips rotating open: square to the floor. Reaching for depth: the hamstring stretch is the floor. Standing knee locking: soft throughout.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
