Not convinced to learn these? Check out how to get started with your Single Leg Deadlift journey with video instructions below. For specific written instruction it's all laid out in my "Kettlebells For Women" book. Men have used it with tons of success as well!
Uneven Double Single Leg Deadlifts should be in everyone's arsenal.The benefits of working this lift are undeniable and I share them below. Minimally Single Leg Deadlifts or a modified version should be in the rotation for most people. You definitely don't need to lift this heavy as shown in the video directly below this!! In fact my form was far from perfect due to this being a test for my maximal capacity. At 118 I managed to lift 127% of my body weight. Shown is my 7th set of working towards this, but got 150lbs up on one leg. 40kg and a 28kg uneven bells. Make sure to check out the video tutorials below to get you started on your Single Leg Deadlift journey!
PREREQUISITE AND WARNING: You must be able to do a traditional weighted deadlift before moving to one leg. Do not attempt Single-Leg Deadlifts with load until you’ve mastered the movement without weights. Practice the Single-Leg Deadlift
movement pattern prior to adding load. This is not an explosive movement. Rushing this exercise will only cause you to lose balance and injure yourself. View videos below for proper instruction. Always check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

Single Leg Deadlift Challenge
or
Deadlifts for 28 days (recommended for Beginners)
Directions: Choose a safe weight to begin your challenge with. Suggested reps indicated are for EACH SIDE** ONLY if performing Single Leg Deadlifts.
Example: Day 1: 5 reps for 2 sets. Day 2: 5 reps per leg for 3 sets. Add weight each week if you’re ready. LADDER DAYS: Perform the suggested reps per side. Example 5 reps per side. Then 4 reps per side, then 3 reps etc... Take as much rest as needed or incorporate this ladder within your current training program. You may also use a heavier bell on a the LOWER rep ladder area IF you feel you've earned it and had enough rest in between. On the final ladder GRADUATION DAY, if your form is perfect and you're feeling strong, use a heavier bell as you go DOWN the ladder.
Safety: Break the reps up in to multiple sets to feel fresh. Never go to failure!
