The Hamstrings are the primary muscle that gets activated in the SingleLeg Romanian Deadlift

How do I make sure I’m doing the Single Leg Romanian Deadlift with a Kettlebell Correctly?
Let’s discuss learning proper form in the RDL.
If you want to see the right way to do the Single Leg RDL the I recommend you watch that video right now. That being said, I do want to point out a couple of things you can do to learn proper form.
First, Learn how to do a Conventional deadlift or regular Romanian deadlift. The conventional deadlift is the foundation for all other deadlifts so practice that first. The Conventional Deadlift is easier to learn than the Single Leg RDL because you don’t need to balance on one leg to do it. Watch this video to learn how to conventional deadlift with a barbell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgHhjtaxAUQ
Second, watch my Single Leg RDL video and make sure that you completely understand how the movement works. That being said you might need to re-watch this video several times to understand how to do the Single Leg RDL. So, watch the video as man times as it takes to get it down.
Third, practice the movement without using a kettlebell. In fact, practice the Single Leg RDL without any weight whatsoever. The Single Leg RDL is challenging because it’s a balancing movement. So, I recommend that you practice the movement without using any weight and the slowly incorporate some weight. Once you add on weight you might that the movement gets easier. This is because the weight is acting as a counterbalance. So, use that to your advantage. And Try some heavier weight till you find your happy medium
Those are just a few tips that I left out of the Video. If you practice all those tips and still feel like you don’t understand the movement then re-watch the video and try again. You may have missed some of the tips.
