1) Single Leg DB or KB Deadlift - 4 x 10/leg (use a challenging weight but one that you can maintain technique and control with)

... REST 2 MINUTES B/T SETS...

  • Hold a DB or KB in the opposite hand of the leg you are performing single leg Deadlifts with (left leg, hold weight in right hand and right leg, hold weight in left hand) and, under control, lower the KB/DB to the floor, gently tap the floor with your back leg straightened out behind you, and stand back up to full hip extension. All the principles of a normal Deadlift apply, the only difference is the balance and coordination aspect of using one leg. These are tremendous for building hamstring strength that will translate to a better barbell Deadlift.
