Single Leg RDL Toe Touch: 3 Position Tap
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute demonstrates the **Single Leg RDL Toe Touch – 3 Position Tap**—a killer variation that hits the posterior chain from every angle while demanding insane single-leg stability.
🔥 Benefits & Key Points:
- ✅ Strong emphasis on hamstrings, glutes, and deep hip stabilizers
- ✅ Floating leg stays low → tap inside / middle / outside (3 different lines of pull)
- ✅ Pure hip hinge (slight knee bend OK, no squatting!)
- ✅ Neutral low back + flat mid-back the entire time
- ✅ Progressions: bodyweight → banded above knees → dumbbell/kettlebell
