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

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Allowing standing knee to drift inward
  • Rotating or opening hips during movement
  • Not keeping back straight and core engaged
  • Using momentum instead of controlled movement
  • Not achieving full hip extension at the top
