Gym-goers of all types, but perhaps especially powerlifters, tend to hold a certain disdain for single leg exercises. It’s understandable, as single leg movements do suck. You can’t use as much weight, so they’re not cool. They make you sore. They feel awkward. You got into this because you wanted to lift heavy stuff, not balance side to side with 45lbs. These drawbacks are valid, I’ll agree. However, we can unlock some serious benefits that far outweigh the negatives by using single leg exercises.

Should Powerlifters Do Cardio? This is a common question, and on the surface it makes sense. In powerlifting, the pursuit of maximal strength is the top priority.
