Hatfield FFE Reverse Lunge

The Hatfield front foot elevated reverse lunge is one of the most effective single-leg exercises for building lower body strength and size, combining hand-assisted stability with an increased range of motion to load the glutes, quads, and hamstrings heavier than a traditional reverse lunge ever could. In this exercise index breakdown, I walk through setup, technique, programming recommendations, and exactly when to use this variation. It’s also one of my go-to single-leg movements for lifters dealing with low back issues who still want to train hard.

Single Leg Barbell RDL

The single leg barbell RDL is a powerful posterior chain exercise that builds glute and hamstring strength through the eccentric range of motion while developing the hip stability needed for athletic performance. Learn proper form, muscles worked, and programming recommendations for adding this single leg hinging variation to your training. Using a barbell allows you to load the single leg RDL more aggressively than dumbbells or kettlebells, making it an ideal progression for serious strength athletes.
