Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift Exercise (Dumbbells)

Learn how to do a single-leg Romanian deadlift with dumbbells.

Our FREE resources:

This video will teach you how to do a Romanian deadlift on one leg with dumbbells. This hip hinging exercise will work your hamstrings, glutes, calves, and your core. Single-leg deadlift variations allow you to focus on smaller muscles that aren’t worked enough from other exercises.

When it comes to leg training, there are 2 different types of leg exercises. These can be split between leg compound exercises and accessory leg motion exercises.

Main leg compound exercises include squats, deadlifts, and leg presses. They are exercises where you use a lot of weight and typically use two legs at once.

Accessory leg motion exercises include things like the single-leg dumbbell deadlift. They are finishing exercises that you add to the end of your workout to really focus on specific muscles and work your core.

For the single-leg RDL, you can use either one or two dumbbells. Using one dumbbell will create cross-body tension, causing you to use your core more. We suggest using two dumbbells, so you can focus on the hip hinging motion and work your leg muscles.

**3 sets of 5-10 reps per leg**

Really this video is good exercise for the single leg romanian deadlift. Your videos are always amazing! I always learn so much.thanks

[malcolmmetty]

knowing a good accesory leg motion exercise as a finisher is confidence boosting and impactful as it focuses harder on the core and glutes, thanks for demonstrating both the single and double dumbbell (superior) versions.

Can see how this would be of benefit, and have done something similar in yoga - without the dumbbells of course. Suspect it's going to be a long haul for a man in his 70th year, but will try! Thanks for posting.
