I’ve noticed on these that I have to watch the right hammie as I’m working the left side. I realize this is in keeping with the theory that the body forms an X

Towel Deadlifts
Pretest: top of toes
Weight: 35lbs
Time: 8 minutes
Unilateral: Y
Reps: 103

Time: 8 minutes

Notes:
This exercise obviously did good things for my ROM. It’s very tough but I see it being a a great exercise for me. We should touch base to ensure we’re talking about the same exercise and to discuss how to do them at home, where I don’t have matched dumbbells or kettlebells. I’m assuming a barbell would work but I’d like to confirm.
