One Leg Barbell Deadlift

One Leg Barbell Deadlift gif

How to One Leg Barbell Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Stand with the barbell in front of your body, placing your weight on one leg.

2. The opposite leg should be slightly lifted off the ground and prepared to extend back.

3. Grip the barbell shoulder-width apart and puff out your chest.

Proper Form

1. The supporting leg is slightly bent while pushing the hips back and leaning the upper body forward.

2. The barbell descends along the front of the shins, and the opposite leg extends back to maintain balance.

3. Lower down to the point where the hamstrings feel a stretch, then rise using the strength of the hips and core.

4. After the designated number of repetitions, switch legs and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your upper body, and exhale when standing up.

Precautions

1. If balance is difficult, practice with light dumbbells or your body weight instead of a barbell at first.

2. Do not let your gaze drop too low to avoid bending your back.

3. Make sure to clear space so that there are no objects around that you could trip over.
