PRIORITIZE SINGLE LEG STRENGTH❗️ Squat & Deadlift do NOT always have to be your main lower body lifts. There are plenty of ways to get strong. Here are some MAJOR benefits of prioritizing single leg lifts: 1️⃣ Exposes strength & balance inefficiencies & inequalities. Strong on 2 legs doesn’t mean strong on 1 leg.. Strong on each leg does mean strong on 2 legs. I’ve seen enough strong squats & deadlifts get buried with single leg exercises. Typically isn’t true the other way around. 2️⃣ Less back pain. Regardless of their technique, some athletes experience back pain from squatting & deadlifting. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SQUAT OR DEADLIFT TO GET STRONG… Single leg exercises can alleviate that pain. Less load, similar intensities, similar benefits. 3️⃣ “Sports are played on 1 leg.” I’ve heard this plenty of times and there is definitely a ton of truth to it. Movements are very single leg dependent. Sprinting, stopping, changing direction, jumping, landing. Single leg training can be the key to higher performance and less risk for injury. 4️⃣ Less learning curve. Beginners can immediately reap the rewards of single leg training because of how easy it is to implement. Something as simple as sitting on a bench and standing up using 1 leg is challenging for someone who has never done it. No bar on the back, no picking up weight, no teaching hip hinge.. Simple single leg training will buy athletes time to train while simultaneously improving squat and deadlift technique.

After I posted my top single leg lifts for speed, a few people asked what I like for the posterior chain, so here are the three I program most often. Yes, we use all of these bilaterally too. This isn’t about ditching the basics. It’s about layering in single leg options that

Halo single-leg balance flow! Great Beyoncé track and it fits perfectly with this movement combo! I really like how it feels to squeeze the bells together during these movements.

Your legs would get a lot bigger if you stopped worrying about how much weight is on the leg press… And focused more on a controlled eccentric and full range of motion… News flash… No one and I mean absolutely no one, gives a fuck about how much you can leg press

This is the proper way to do the leg press. Many people load the machine with too much weight, which prevents them from getting the full range of motion and deep stretch before each rep. If your leg press doesn't look like this, you're doing it wrong.

Some leg stuff before heading to the airport! Hadn’t done front squats in about 15 years, first time with the barbell single leg squats! Out of the country for a bit so gonna mostly be doing sprinting and jumping I suspect

Let’s talk side to side imbalances cause I know A LOT OF PEOPLE are (A) dealing with these and (B) confused about how to remedy them…. (This post will be LOWER BODY focused) For starters, if you’ve got a large side to side discrepancy…these are going to be the exercises you’ll want to use to help even that out: (In no particular order) - Smith Split Squats - Single Leg Press - Single Leg Extension - Single Leg Seated Ham Curls - Single Leg Prone Ham Curls - Single Leg 45° Extensions - B Stance Smith/Machine Glute Bridges - Single Leg Calf Press Here is the SIMPLE PROTOCOL you’ll using when performing these exercises to help even out your side to side imbalance: When performing a unilateral exercise… - Start with the weaker side - Take set to target RIR - Match reps on stronger side (even if you have more left to give) NO REST NEEDED between sides if a discrepancy is present FWIW…if you were performing a unilateral exercise and NO discrepancy were present, the play would be to take ample rest (2-3+ minutes) between sides — you are almost treating it as two separate sets in this instance ONE FINAL VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Side to side imbalance are NOT abnormal They are NOT even PROBLEMATIC unless the gap is large enough If you have (let’s say) a 5% discrepancy from right to left (or vice versa), there really isn’t a need to bias heavily toward unilateral exercises If, however, that gap is closer to (let’s say) 10, 15, 20+%…you’d be wise to bias toward the unilateral exercises and protocol listed above until the gap shrinks to a more reasonable size (perhaps <10%)

Before there were leg press machines, lifters used the barbell for movements like the oldtime barbell leg press. It was a way to load the lower body in a unique angle and develop strength through a different pattern than the squat.

"I can recall every detail, the bones and everything, as I lost my leg," 14-year-old Obaida told DCIP. "I wanted to stand up while my leg was still intact. As I attempted to move, it dislocated and amputated itself."

Running is a one-footed sport! That means your muscles are constantly handling all your weight on a single leg. That's why strengthening with single-leg drills is crucial. It trains your body to handle the forces of running, making you stronger and more efficient! 🦵💪
