Episode notes
One-Leg Deadlifts > RDLs
- Replace Romanian deadlifts (RDLs) with one-leg straight-leg deadlifts.
- They offer greater hamstring load with less spinal stress, improving balance and stability.
Bilateral Deficit Explained
- The bilateral deficit means combined unilateral force exceeds bilateral force.
- This suggests individual limbs produce more force when working independently.
Progressing One-Leg Deadlifts
- Progress one-leg deadlifts by starting with a reaching movement for balance.
- Gradually introduce light weights like kettlebells or dumbbells, then consider barbells.
