Single-Leg Deadlift
tagged asymmetric, barbell, bodyweight, dumbell, hip stability, kettlebell, lower body, torsional stability in Hinge
The Single-Leg Deadlift (SLDL) is a weird exercise that will require patience and balance. It also won't feel "hard" until you wake up in the morning. Keep your shoulder blades pinched together and your hips and shoulders in the same plane. Make sure you are pushing your butt back (especially you ladies!) and only bending your knee a little so as to better load up the hamstring.
