Single leg RDLs are super underrated.
Better stimulus to fatigue ratio than other deadlift variations.
More stabilizer activation.
Better for hip health (there's a reason these are a staple exercise in the rehab and prehab world).
Allow each leg to be trained through its own range of motion. Hips are a ball and socket joint that develop independently, so your left and right may be different. Training each side individually helps fix imbalances, mitigate development of further imbalances, and allows you to really stimulate the hips, glutes, and hamstrings more effectively.
It's a super pure hinge movement.
Single leg RDLs are much more challenging – and effective – than other offset or staggered stance deadlift variations.
Lastly, single leg RDLs save time because it makes hinging more challenging with lighter loads than bilateral hinge/deadlift variations. This MIGHT help manage fatigue better, also, which circles back to my opinion that they have a better stimulus to fatigue ratio than other variations.
As someone who has 5-7 labral tears on both hips, FAI, and dealt with all kinds of pain during my 20s due to overuse, irregular hip bone structure, and strength + mobility imbalances between different areas of my hips – these have been a life saver.
