Single-Leg RDLs Aren't Easy
The hip hinge is a fundamental movement, and mastering it means you get to try new ways to hinge.
The single-leg Romanian deadlift tends to be a staple in many strength training programs, but it's a tough move to get right.
For one, it requires a considerable amount of balance, coordination, and proprioception.
Add in trunk stability, spine rigidity, and hamstring flexibility, and, you've got your work cut out for you.
