Your hamstrings deserve more than just deadlifts ‼️
The single leg deadlift happens to be a favorite and the NEGATIVE only a rare challenge
WHY THIS WORKS:
You’re teaching control without fatigue (3-5 reps per side)
You’re learning to hinge hips and keep shins vertical
You’re saving the spine from double leg loads (this is 185 x 3, so 185 pounds per leg
SUMMARY:
Single-Leg RDL Negatives -
When you SLOW the lowering phase down to build eccentric hamstring strength, balance, and control in a lengthened position, you win!
Save this for your next lower-body session
send it to someone who only does double leg deads or RDLs
and follow for more practical strength training ideas.
