Regression of Single-Leg RDL

REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Bodyweight single-leg RDL

These steps are written specifically for the Bodyweight single-leg RDL. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Bodyweight single-leg RDL. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Reach the free heel backward as your chest tips forward and the standing hip moves behind you.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Complete one side at a time and keep the pelvis level instead of shifting into the support.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Stop before the pelvis opens, then press through the standing foot and bring the hips forward to stand. Stop before the pelvis opens.

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 5–10 per side

Bodyweight single-leg RDL is a regression of Single-Leg RDL. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Long range: Long range means the target muscle is challenged as it reaches a longer position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The working hip folds while the pelvis resists opening, lengthening the hamstrings and challenging control in the frontal and transverse planes.
