Split Stance Romanian Deadlift (Single Leg RDL Regression)

  1. Begin by standing in a staggered stance. Make sure to have 90% of your weight on your forward leg, and 10% on your back leg, aka the “kickstand”.
  2. Slowly begin to perform a Romanian Deadlift (RDL) by having a slight bend in your knees and leaning forwards hinging at your hips.
  3. Make sure you keep your core engaged and maintain a neutral spine while performing this exercise.
  4. Slowly come back up and repeat 8-10 times before switching sides.

Note: This is a great regression exercise to the Single Leg RDL. It also allows people to focus on lifting heavier weights during a Single Leg RDL and focus on strength gains.
