We’ve already talked about how much we love unilateral exercises. They help pinpoint weaknesses, build strength, and restore balance. We’ve also already talked about how much we love Marcus Filly. Well, now, Marcus Filly has taught us two new unilateral exercises, and we can’t wait to give them a shot at the box this week. Check out these banded dumbbell Romanian deadlifts and star plank rotations.

?Unilateral Emphasis? . ?We can load up pour core or single legs unilaterally and in doing so train new movement patterns that we haven’t touched on before. The value here is that when you return to bilaterally loaded patterns you will have better recruitment from each side and be able to produce more controlled force. . ?These two movements are terrific to pair as a warm up for hinge training. . 4 Sets A1. Banded Single Leg Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift; 6-8/leg; rest 60sec A2. Star Plank Rotation w/ Leg Lift; 6-8/arm; rest 60sec . #UnilateralFocus #Lookgoodmovewell #functionalbodybuilding #honestycommitmentpersistence
