For glutes & hamstrings, single-leg squats are better than regular squats or stiff-leg deadlifts
Bodybuilders or who fitness enthusiasts who want to develop their glutes as well as their hamstrings, should consider adding single-leg squats to their workouts. American sports scientists at Texas State University write this in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The researchers consider the single-leg squat to be superior to the classic squat and the stiff-leg deadlift when it comes to developing the hamstrings and the gluteus maximus.
Study
The researchers then had the subjects do 3 exercises: the squat, the stiff-leg deadlift and the modified single-leg squat [above]. The women made 3 reps with a load with which just 8 reps would have been possible.
Results
It is clear what exercise came out best: the modified single-leg squat.
