“The Best Home Gym Exercises You’ve Never Heard Of” – OLGL’s, or One-Leg Glute Deadlifts

You don’t need super-heavy weight to see a major impact and carryover to your squat and deadlift with this exercise.

Set a couple of dumbbells a few feet in front of your flat bench then set up like you were going to do a Bulgarian Split Squat. Make sure the top of your foot and potentially part of your shin is firmly on the bench. We’re not looking for instability here…we’re using the split position to target one side at a time.

Get into the bottom split squat position and grab the dumbbells. Now bring your torso to an upright position while keeping your legs exactly where they are. This movement occurs only at the hips and lower back.

This absolutely HAMMERS the glutes…not only is that working-side glute getting constant isometric tension from holding the split position under load (which is a great stretch), that glute then ALSO works to extend the hip and bring the torso upright at the same time. This is the extension/contraction portion of the movement.

You’re getting TWO levels of tension on the glute simultaneously.

And yes, the first time you do this one, you WILL feel it. Dual-function loading is like nothing you’ve ever felt before.

One thing I’m always doing is looking for new, innovative exercises to add into workouts.

A resource like this one is invaluable if you are doing the same:

-> “The Best Home Gym Exercises You’ve Never Heard Of“

It contains 277 incredibly effective exercises (like the One Leg Glute Deadlift) you can do with just basic equipment.

If you are more of an intermediate/advanced trainee, and you understand the basics of program design, this tool is invaluable.

For example, yesterday I was designing workouts for our studio clients for the coming month. I had a slot where I was looking to plug in a single leg hinge movement for four sets of 8. We had done SLDL’s for the last couple of cycles, I wanted something to give a similar effect, but also wanted 
to change it up from a physical and mental stimulus perspective. I found what I needed in this guide!!

This book has a ton of exercises for every major muscle group in your body…chest, biceps, triceps, back, traps, quads, hamstrings, glutes, shoulders, calves, and abs…

…literally everything you need for a complete workout using just a few pieces of equipment.
