Single Leg Deadlifts with Back Foot Elevated

Legs, Hamstrings

1. Start by balancing on one leg, with your other leg on a box or bench behind you. Hold a barbell close to your thighs.
2. As you lower the weight toward the floor, engage the hamstring of your front leg.
3. Lift the weight back up by bringing your hips forward.
- Keep your core engaged and chest up.
- Your supporting leg can have a slight bend to it, but do not squat down.
- The movement comes from your hips. Do not bend down by hunching your back or bending your supporting leg too much.
- Keep the barbell close to your legs for the entirety of the exercise. (It does not need to touch your legs, but by keeping it close, it will help promote proper form)
