The term "functional" is misunderstood by many people. Biceps curls e g are functional too. And not every multi joint movement is "functional" just cause it involves multiple joints. There are better ways to train the muscles used in this movement. Question is always: For which motor task would I need this exercise?

>Single-leg RDLs expose every imbalance bilateral work hides — the wobble IS the training. Most people rush the eccentric and lose the whole point of the movement. Slow eccentrics or a pause at the bottom — which do you cue more? 🔥

Single-leg RDLs getting the respect they deserve, and no shame in hinging on one leg in a packed commercial gym. We love an exercise you can keep testing yourself on month after month.

I’d be happy to embarrass myself at gym if it’s going to help my squat and DL game. 🙌

I used to have lower back pain with single leg RDL on my left side but with this cue and keeping my rib cage down it’s all in the glutes. Thank u so much 🙌❤️
