How to do the One-Arm Side Deadlift

  1. 1

    Stand to the side of a barbell next to its center. Bend your knees and lower your body until you are able to reach the barbell.

  2. 2

    Grasp the bar as if you were grabbing a briefcase (palms facing you since the bar is sideways). You may need a wrist wrap if you are using a significant amount of weight. This is your starting position.

  3. 3

    Use your legs to help lift the barbell up while exhaling. Your arms should extend fully as bring the barbell up until you are in a standing position.

  4. 4

    Slowly bring the barbell back down while inhaling. Tip: Make sure to bend your knees while lowering the weight to avoid any injury from occurring.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

  6. 6

    Switch arms and repeat the movement.
