Single-Leg Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift

How to do it

  1. Hold a dumbbell in the hand opposite the working leg, standing tall.
  2. Shift your weight onto the working leg with a soft knee bend.
  3. Hinge at the hips, extending the non-working leg straight back as your torso lowers toward parallel.
  4. Lower the dumbbell close to your shin, keeping your back flat and hips square.
  5. Reverse the motion by driving your hips forward to return to standing, then repeat on one leg before switching.
