Allow me to get a bit nerdy about why the single-leg RDL is so effective…
One of the things I’m determined to do is help women raise the bar when it comes to what they are expecting from the movement they are doing.
To get better at answering questions like - “is this exercise changing my body composition in a way I like AND improving my overall function?”
This is one of the reasons I love the single-leg Romanian deadlift, especially for women. 3D glutes plus hip stabilization plus working to avoid knee injury!
