Perfect Single Leg Deadlift Technique

The single leg deadlift is a unilateral exercise that builds balance, stability, and posterior chain strength while addressing muscle imbalances. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds maximum results with perfect form.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup:Stand on one leg with slight knee bend, core engaged
  2. Hinge:Push hips back while lifting opposite leg behind you
  3. Lower:Keep back straight as you hinge forward at the hip
  4. Balance:Maintain straight line from head to raised heel
  5. Return:Drive through standing heel to return to upright position
