1-Leg Deadlift - Single Cable

Description

Starting Position: Attach a handle to a shin to a low pulley. Facing the pulley, hold the handle in one hand, take 2-3 steps back, and stand on the opposite leg.

Procedure: Keep back flat, bend at the waist, and lower the chest to the ground as you reach straight out toward the cable as the non-support leg lifts straight behind. Stand up by contracting your hamstring and glutes. Complete all reps on one leg before repeating with the opposite.

Coaching Key: Keep the weight close to the body and prevent the back from rounding during the movement. Maintain a straight line from the ear through the ankle; the torso and leg should move as one unit.

Feel It: Glutes, hamstrings, back, and abdominals.
