The One-Arm Side Deadlift primarily works the quadriceps, with the abdominals, calves, glutes, hamstrings, lower back and traps supporting the movement. It is a strength movement performed with barbell.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Stand to the side of a barbell next to its center. Bend your knees and lower your body until you are able to reach the barbell.
Grasp the bar as if you were grabbing a briefcase (palms facing you since the bar is sideways). You may need a wrist wrap if you are using a significant amount of weight. This is your starting position.
Use your legs to help lift the barbell up while exhaling. Your arms should extend fully as bring the barbell up until you are in a standing position.
Slowly bring the barbell back down while inhaling. Tip: Make sure to bend your knees while lowering the weight to avoid any injury from occurring.
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Switch arms and repeat the movement.

Your progress
Keep the same barbell setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing One-Arm Side Deadlift sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
