Single Leg Romanian Deadlift

Strength Intermediate

How to Do

How to Do Single Leg Romanian Deadlift

The single leg romanian deadlift should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the single leg Romanian deadlift.

Beginning

Beginning Single Leg Romanian Deadlift

Begin balanced on one leg with the knee slightly bent (15-20 degrees).

Movement

Single Leg Romanian Deadlift Movement

1. Draw your abdomen inward toward your belly button for spinal stabilization.

2. Without allowing further knee movement, bend over at the hip, trying to touch down with the opposite hand.

3. Progress to extrinsic loading by holding a dumbbell in your hand.

4. Do not flex/extend the spine if extrinsic loads are used.

Note: Flexion/extension of the spine, and extrinsic loading are both relative to the bio-motor ability, as well as the goal.
