One-Legged Romanian Deadlift, Kickstand Version

Back in 2000, a major fitness magazine showcased a version of the 1-legged Romanian deadlift (RDL) where the rear leg was lifted way off the ground, sort of like one of those old drinking-bird toys. The rest of the world just seemed to follow suit without really questioning why. Here's the thing, though -- the one-legged RDL wasn't designed for balance training; it’s for building single-leg strength. The "drinking bird" variation might be absolutely fine for warmups and general mobility but when it comes to strength training, you're better served by stripping the balance demands away and focusing on strength. You can accomplish this by doing the kickstand version shown in the video where you keep weight off the passive leg. – Geoff Girvitz
