How To

1. Stand on your right leg with a slight bend in your knee 2. Hinge at your hips and slowly lower your torso while lifting your left leg behind you 3. Keep your back straight and reach toward the ground with your hands during the bodyweight single leg deadlift 4. Lower until your torso and lifted leg are parallel to the ground 5. Drive through your standing heel to return to start position, then switch legs for the bodyweight single leg deadlift

Form Tips

• Keep your hips square and avoid rotating during the bodyweight single leg deadlift movement • Focus on hinging at the hips, not bending your back • Start with small ranges of motion and build up gradually • Keep your standing leg slightly bent throughout the bodyweight single leg deadlift

Common Mistakes
