The Single Leg RDL (Romanian Dead Lift) is one of the most beneficial exercises for many reasons.

It can help with balance, posterior chain activation and strength, back and leg health, and helps with guard passing for BJJ.

In this video we look at a basic “X-Pass” which has many similar movements and components as the Single Leg RDL.

Although this exercise has many benefits, can be difficult to perform properly. I use a modified approach using a PVC pipe which has been extremely beneficial in training and teaching this movement.

This technique has also been a great benefit in improving my balance, base, and stability with standing guard passing in Jiu-Jitsu.

*** I have just released my new warm-up that was created specifically for grapplers!

The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.
