Stiff leg dead lift

Hi there,
Certainly the stiff leg dead lift works the hamstrings but the targeted area remains on the lower back if performed as instructed in the video.
This is one of the exercises that is highly beneficial after heavy sets of regular dead lifts that can be used in conjunction with heavy good mornings.

Lower back may bend slightly
Kevine.Peter
Lower back may bend slightly during full hip flexion. Target muscle is exercised isometrically if lower back does not bend. Begin with light weight and add additional weight gradually to allow adequate adaptation. Throughout lift keep arms straight. Knee can be kept bent throughout movement. Keep bar over top of feet, close to legs. Do not pause or bounce at bottom of lift. Do not lower weight beyond a mild stretch throughout hamstrings When finished with set, dismount by lowering weight with knees bent and low back straight. Full range of motion will vary from person to person. Those with less flexibility may have to bend knees more or they may not even need to stand on platform. See Dangerous Exercise Essay.
