LIBRARY / DEADLIFT

Single-Leg Deadlift (Resistance Band)

Also called Band Single-Leg DL

How to do it

Anchor the band beneath the planted foot and hold the other end with one or both hands. With a soft working knee, hinge as the free leg reaches behind you, then drive the planted hip forward to stand under control. Complete the set and repeat on the other side.

Setup

Secure the band under the planted foot and choose one- or two-hand loading consistently. Keep a soft knee, square hips, braced arch, long arms, and light tension at the top.

Where you should feel it

Through the planted hamstrings and glutes with resistance increasing as you stand, while the core, hips, and ankle maintain balance. Control the return.

When to use it

Use for portable unilateral hinge work, balance practice, or higher-repetition posterior-chain volume. Perform smooth sets of 10-20 reps per side.
