The value of single-leg exercises can’t be overstated. They have great carryover to athletics and real-world function, activate lower-body musculature in a way that complements bilateral work nicely, and provide a safe alternative to bilateral squats for those with back pain.

With that in mind, I want to use this special report to cover coaching cues I like to use for four of the most popular single-leg exercises you’ll encounter in a strength training program.
