Kickstand RDL with Band
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute shows the **Kickstand RDL With Band**—the ultimate bridge between regular RDLs and true single-leg deadlifts when balance is still a work in progress.
🔥 Why This Version Is Gold:
- ✅ Band just above knees forces glutes & hips to fire harder
- ✅ Contralateral weight + kickstand stance = massive anti-rotation & stability challenge
- ✅ Front leg gets ~90 % of the load while back toe keeps you honest
- ✅ Huge hamstring & glute stretch with way less wobble than full single-leg
- ✅ Perfect for runners, field athletes, or anyone building bulletproof hips
📝 Exercise Details:
