Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift

What it is

Balancing on one leg with dumbbells in hand, you hinge forward while the other leg rises behind you. It works the hamstrings and glutes and challenges balance and hip stability. Keep the hips square to the floor.

One side at a time: log each side, and match the reps of your weaker side.

Technique tips

• Soft bend in the standing knee
• Hinge at the hip, back flat
• Let the free leg rise behind you
• Keep the hips square, no rotation

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
