Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift

Senior Editor, , , ,

There’s a noticeable lack of hamstring development in many athletes, predominantly because of over-developed quads, but also because of under-utilized and under-trained hamstrings. Fortunately, most athletes put themselves through a good amount of hip extension exercises like the deadlift, but very few take the time to isolate the glutes and hamstrings. The single-leg Romanian (or Semi-Stiff Legged) deadlift (RDL) addresses this problem quickly. It should be perfected without weight before adding resistance. And once perfected, that means eventually using a barbell. – Mike Sheridan source
