The Band Single Stiff Leg Deadlift targets the hamstrings and glutes while improving balance and stability.

  1. Stand on one leg with the resistance band under the foot.

  3. Keep your back straight and hinge at the hips, lowering your torso while extending the free leg behind you.
  4. Return to the starting position by engaging your glutes and hamstrings.

How to perform the Band Single stiff leg deadlift

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band Single stiff leg deadlift using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
