Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift

Legs

Before you hinge, find a soft bend in your standing knee and fix your eyes on a spot on the floor a little ahead of you — both make the balance far easier than people expect on the first rep. Hinge at your hips, letting your free leg extend straight back behind you as your torso tips forward, until you're roughly in a T-shape parallel to the floor. Keep your hips square rather than letting them rotate open, and hold the weight close to your standing leg as it lowers. Drive back up by squeezing your glute and hamstring, standing tall until your hips are fully open again.
