Dumbbell Stiff Legged Deadlift

[@rheamorales1329]

I'm doing these and watching my hamstrings develop. I'm happy with them.

[@houseatreides6683]

Do you feel like they’re a worthwhile exercise? I’m thinking about adding them to my routine just cause I’m not crazy about barbell deadlift anymore and I’m more interested in mostly calisthenics these days however I still want a hip hinge exercise like this in my routine

[@Sweet9964]

finally getting off my ass and been training legs, i've been very humbled by how little weight it takes to make my hamstrings burn lol

[@ImInTheeEntry]

Same. My hamstrings are sore for almost a week from 3 sets of SLDs

[@Godsgonnacutyoudown]

@@ImInTheeEntrymf did you do for the first time bro? Same happened to me, i skipped one hamstring day because of the soreness from a noble 3 sets of SLDL. I think it has to do more with the new type of stimulus rather than sheer muscle activation from SLDL 😅

[@ImInTheeEntry]

Not the first ever time...... But I've only been doing them a few months...... You may well be right, I am forever sorry for my embarrassingly stupid comment. The stretch feels insane tho

[@Godsgonnacutyoudown]

@@ImInTheeEntry i meant the time you mad ethat comment did u do it for the first time ever. Cuz i did exactly 3 sets qnd I couldn’t do hamstrings for like a week and i thought it was from anew stimulus. I am just a curious cat u know….

[@AdamAdam-m1w8z]

Great technique on the deadlift. Keeping that back straight really makes a difference.

[@ShifaYa-b3s]

I love how you filmed this at Exile Gym. The atmosphere looks perfect for lifting.

[@divyranjan254]

Slowing down the lowering phase and keeping dumbbells close to the knees instantly fired the hamstrings for me.. gotta lower the weight a bit and build from there ig

[@WyzrdCat]

Love this video, to the point, just how to do the damn exercise. So many show but don't tell, or just show the "wrong" way and the "right way" but as a beginner I see no difference lol

[@gfmbklf]

creating a larger emphasis on leaning forward is something that isn't stated here, isolating the hamstrings on a hinge is highly dependent on relative shoulder position to hip. the cue (chest up, isn't specific enough)

[@BeardlessYouth]

Recoome KICK!

[@imSaicat]

I don't even bend my knee. I feel bending my knee put less impact on my hamstrings.

[@alabaster2211]

Do you lock you knees the entire time?

[@imSaicat]

@@alabaster2211 Yes at the end of every rep

[@wilfriedvomacka1783]

100% I feel the same. Straighter the legs, the more hamstring work I feel. Bonus I am much more flexible than before I started with this excercise.

[@hkmalsawmtluanga7556]

I feel it in my hamstrings but i also feel it on my back, is that normal or am i doing it wrong...

[@hkmalsawmtluanga7556]

P.s never worked out before just started

[@JoeSmith-we3jw]

Normal, especially if youre a beginner. Just focus on correct form and a good range of motion 😊

[@CricQuizwithOmkar]

I feel more impact on the back.

[@princeofparanoia9374]

Same been trying for the past 2-3 weeks now legs twice a week and I kinda feel it a little but it’s mostly in my back feel like I’m just not getting the form right at all to really engage my hamstrings

[@pavelsurkov2853]

I had the same feeling in the beginning but as my back strengthened I started feeling hamstrings much more. So maybe just keep doing it with precise technique and you will get there.

[@terrellchristian6553]

Do some hyperextensions to strengthen your lower back

[@Curlylemur]

Doing these sdl and omg my hamstrings are shaking. I agree though! Do some hyperextensions, def helped me get my back stronger.

[@rafiulislamtamim8823]

Its a back exercise

[@lianidisguite7232]

I've noticed that I feel them in my hamstrings on my way down, especially at the bottom position, but on my way back up it feels like it's all lower back. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong.

[@dylanlawrenceholland3295]

whats the difference between this and an rdl?

[@alphabacks5089]

Look Carefully on the Knee, is not bending at all. Unlike RDL There is a slight knee bend.

[@apoolem]

Basically it's the same

[@SK-tr8jv]

nice

[@SaoirseAnthony]

Isn't this an RDL????

[@babyblue7283]

i love u to bits Jared BUT arent those weights just a bit too small for you??? i wasnt expecting it!!! hahaha!

[@alishayegh448]

My back hurts so much and i cant even feel my hamstring

[@terrellchristian6553]

Need to strengthen your lower back. Do hypertensions. Also possible you're starting off with a weight that's too heavy.

[@luciejedlickova3361]

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

[@wilfriedvomacka1783]

Only thing I do for hamstrings and it is enough.

[@beepboop9848]

wao mikes voice was so much higher back then. Perhaps he wasnt on as much T lmao

[@alphabacks5089]

I like Stepping on 2 small dumb bels Up to half of the base of my foot to elevate my toes while the back of the foot is on the Ground to increase the range of motion

[@anaxagoras25a]

That are more romanian than stiff legged!

No

[@frogtherapist9772]

stiff leg deadlifts aren't literal stiff leg

[@cerberus3426]

No

[@dante_di_martino]

he is actually doing it kinda wrong, he hugs the weight to his body. They weight should go straight down. If he picks up any meaningful weight, his form will automatically change.

[@m_t_t_]

the further out you hold the weight, the greater the moment (torque) on the spine

[@dante_di_martino]

@@m_t_t_ yes i know, but that does not change the fact that you are not able to hold it close to body. Physics will simply not allow it. The gravity will pull the weight automatically in such a way that your arms will be parallel with the vector of gravity or something like that.

[@m_t_t_]

​@@dante_di_martino there will be a force pulling the arms to the equilibrium position, but because the angle is so small the force is small too. If you used 45kg dumbbells, and there was an angle of 20 degrees from the 'straight' position, the force would be equivalent to the force of a 15kg weight due to gravity, if it was 10 degrees then it would be 7.5kg

[@rjmari]

Old comment, I know. But it makes no sense. The weight *is* going straight down. It starts above his feet and ends above his feet in the same position. His feet aren't moving, therefore the weight is going straight up and down.

[@alabaster2211]

So SHOULD he be hugging the weight close to his body? Or let the weight hang?

[@dante_di_martino]

[@bonkersdonkers7381]

I’m doing this exercise. If I want the most hamstring activation, how should I do this?

[@dante_di_martino]

@@bonkersdonkers7381 you need to do it like he does, but the weight should go straight down. But actually the most important thing is to feel the stretch in the back of your legs, experiment a little bit, once you get it right once, you will know right away. The stretch is strong and you cannot mistake it with anything else. Don't round your back and brace your core for more stability on descent.

[@bonkersdonkers7381]

@@dante_di_martino thanks for the tip!

[@clarkkant5322]

Nope, you should engage your lats and keep the weight as close to your shins as possible. What do you think happens if you let 400+ lbs dangle in front of you? You fall over. Bar has to be over mid foot so your center of gravity stays over your feet. If you want more erector work you can ignore that cue, but then you have to use much less weight and the hamstrings get less stimulus.

[@dante_di_martino]

@@clarkkant5322 you should try that shit with a 100kg dead lift, no way in hell you are going to keep it pinned to your body. You should stabilize it with lats, but not to the extent it rips your shin skin off.
