The kettlebell single-leg deadlift is a variation on the kettlebell deadlift where one foot stays planted on the ground while the other raises into the air at the bottom of the movement. It's popular in lower-body training for strength and muscle building, but also trains balance, grip, and the core muscles.
Benefits
- Targets each glute individually to strengthen both sides equally
- Builds back and glute strength and size, as well as grip strength
- Teaches and enforces the hip hinge movement pattern for deadlifts
- If balance is a challenge, the movement is still effective if you hold on to a post or other stable object
Exercise Details:
- Type: Strength
- Main Muscle Worked: Hamstrings

Directions:
- Hold a kettlebell by the handle in one hand. Stand on one leg, on the same side that you hold the kettlebell.
- Keeping that knee slightly bent, perform a stiff legged deadlift by bending at the hip, extending your free leg behind you for balance.
- Continue lowering the kettlebell until you are parallel to the ground, and then return to the upright position.
