Consider this exercise from Running Rewired:
Landmine Single-Leg Deadlift
- Position one end of a 45-pound Olympic bar on the floor in the corner to anchor it.
- With the free end of the bar perpendicular to your body, stand on your outside leg and hold the bar in the opposite hand; let your arm hang down straight. Raise your free arm out to the side for balance if needed.
- Hinge your hips back while keeping your spine completely straight and lower the bar while raising your back leg behind you.
- Push your hips forward into the bar to return to the starting position.
- Face the opposite direction to work the other side.
- Do 3 sets of 8 reps on each leg.
TIP
Always look in the same direction as your chest is facing. Moving your head before beginning the bend will bring the spine out of neutral.
