Thoughts on stiff legged dl?

[Jimbo]

I've started to add these to my routine and i love them. My question is. Ive been working on my flexability and I like to do these off blocks. Alot of people do these just past these kness. Also long as your back is flat im assuming its ok to go all the way down. Any thoughts?

This is pretty picture perfect form on how I think people should do these. The fact that it's with 500 lbs, and he's 8 days out from a show is insane lol

You shouldnt need to come down any further than in the shin area. If you cant feel it at that point you need to adjust your form.

Great video Scott!

His form at 495 is better than mine at 275, lol...What a freak....and a good citizen to boot, lol.

In all honesty I love them but after 2-3 weeks my flexibility goes to hell even with daily stretching. If that wasn't the case I'd be doing them every other week other week.

I read an article in muscle and fitness where they used an MRI to observe micro-trauma in effort to determine which was the most effective exercise for each bodypart.

Stiff legged deads were a hands down winner for hamstrings.
