Exercise Description

The single leg barbell romanian deadlift builds serious hamstring strength while fixing muscle imbalances. It also crushes your core and improves balance.

How To

1. Stand holding a barbell with both hands, feet hip-width apart 2. Lift your left foot slightly off the ground and shift weight to your right leg 3. Hinge at the hips and lower the barbell toward the ground while extending your left leg behind you 4. Keep your back straight and feel the stretch in your right hamstring during the single leg barbell romanian deadlift 5. Drive through your right heel to return to starting position, then switch legs

Form Tips

• Keep your standing knee slightly bent throughout the single leg barbell romanian deadlift movement • Think about pushing your hips back, not just bending forward • Keep the barbell close to your body as you lower it down • Focus on one leg at a time and don't rush the single leg barbell romanian deadlift

Common Mistakes

• Rounding your back instead of keeping your chest up during the single leg barbell romanian deadlift • Using your lower back instead of your hamstrings to lift the weight • Moving too fast and losing balance during the single leg barbell romanian deadlift movement
