The Barbell One Arm Side Deadlift is a variation of the traditional deadlift exercise that targets the muscles in the sides of the body, including the obliques and the quadratus lumborum. This exercise helps to improve core stability, balance, and overall strength.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell One Arm Side Deadlift, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and place a barbell on the ground just in front of your toes.
2. Bend at the hips and knees to grip the barbell with one hand. Keep your back straight and your chest up.
3. Engage your core muscles and brace your abdominal muscles.
4. Push through your heels and lift the barbell off the ground using the hand that is gripping the barbell. Keep your arm close to your body as you lift.
5. As you lift the barbell, focus on using your side muscles to control the movement and keep your torso stable.
6. Stand up straight with the barbell in your hand, making sure to keep your shoulders squared and your hips level.
7. Slowly lower the barbell back down to the ground, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other hand.
