How to Perform Barbell Single Leg Romanian Deadlift
The single-leg Romanian deadlift is a unilateral lower-body exercise that targets the hamstrings and glutes while also challenging balance and core stability. Performed by standing on one leg and hinging at the hips, the movement involves lowering the weight toward the floor while extending the free leg behind the body and maintaining a neutral spine. Focusing on controlled movement and hip stability helps address strength imbalances, improve coordination, and build posterior-chain strength.
