Single leg hinging

Single Leg Deadlift Variations:

*all promote weight acceptance and stability in the stance leg or forward leg

No weight

• Greater focus on balance because there’s no weight to counterbalance the movement
• If unsteady - foam roller or resistance band in the opposite hand is helpful or  lateralizing the movement to a kickstand RDL

Weighted split stance

• Helpful if balance is unstable, still able to effectively strengthen the posterior chain of the front leg
• Still can target one leg greater than the other which oftentimes is a target of rehab

Weighted & resistance band; resistance band - no weight; foam roller

• Resistance band or foam roller increase tension in your anterior core and lat
• The resistance band also encourages keeping the weight close to the body that
• translates to traditional RDLs and improves overall lifting mechanics
  

Weight

• Useful if pt is able to maintain proper upper body posture during the movement

• Can increase load to continually achieve strength gains

• May actually decrease the balance challenge due to counter balance effect
