Single Leg RDL...You're Doing It WRONG

This is one of my favorite unilateral exercises, with a ton of benefits ranging from strength, balance, coordination, foot and ankle function, sports performance, and a whole lot more. Unfortunately, most people perform this exercise without any attention paid to hip position, and completely miss out on all those benefits.

This is a very complex movement to teach, and I have a multitude of teaching progressions (stay tuned for that series) that athletes must go through to master this movement before adding load.

Do some self checking next time you perform the single leg RDL, and make sure your movement follows these guidelines to achieve the maximum benefit.
