Tutorial: Barbell single-leg deadlift

Barbell single-leg deadlift

Target: Hamstrings, back, core

Form tips:

• Keep your hips square, avoiding any rotation in the movement.
• Your spine should remain neutral.
• Balance is key, so don't rush when lowering the barbell.
• If you're a beginner, close your fists when gripping the bar so it doesn't slip.

Modification – Romanian deadlift:

• If you're struggling to lift without rotating your torso, a Romanian deadlift will help you build up a stronger hinge movement.
