This exercise for the posterior chain. This is a hybrid between a traditional Romanian deadlift and a single leg RD.. The front leg does the majority of the work while the back leg provides stability. This could be used as a progression to learn the single leg RDL, or as a means to get a unilateral training effect with heavier loads. The closer together your feet are, the harder it will be. 4 Rounds
