External weight can increase movement depth. Two-arm loading in the single-leg RDL is more symmetrical and makes spinal position easier to maintain. External weight can be added to make the drill more challenging. One-arm loading adds thoracic freedom and increases anti-rotation and lateral stability demands. A common loading choice is holding the weight on the same side as the front leg. One-arm single-leg RDL loading is treated as a more challenging progression rather than a typical primary loading strategy.
