[BrandonBrylski]

great form

[sjjdiienno1]

what gym is this

[762full]

I can no longer distinguish the RDL from the SLDL

[lighterbuds]

I'd be impressed if you lost those straps.

[osirisomeomi]

That's an RDL you're doing, not an SLDL. SLDLs start with the concentric and have less knee bend. That being said, very solid lifts.

[xjusticex2013x]

These are more Romanian deadlifts than stiff-legged. But, that doesn't change the fact that you get five stars.

[Sh0ebakA]

whats the real difference? i cant see any real difference?

[xjusticex2013x]

When you do Romanians, you are supposed to push your hips back and your knees bend more. When you do stiff-legs, you just bend over and your legs stay more straight.

[westonlg24]

adding to what justice is saying, with a SL your ass tends to push out way more. but ditto on the great job, I never really thought this was a lift people did excessive weight with... guess that thoughts wrong

[HobbitJT]

That Gym looks awesome! Nice lift buddy

[belphegor500]

thats annoying gym music good lift though

[XxVietBoixX]

"oh snap"

[romanknight6]

Yeah i see 0 point in the platform. The only thing it does is add the risk of him stepping off it accidentally and injuring some shit.

[marxistsoldier]

i thought the same lol

[romanknight6]

heres another thing with the platform....if he cant lift it....and drops it.....where is it going???? on his fuckin foot

[661cwb]

@romanknight6 wrong take a look theres bars that catch it so no foot injury just hard to see,...

[otnomnoraa]

@661cwb No there aren't.

[dimitriios]

they look more like romanian deadlifts which emphasise the glutes and hams opposed to stiff legs which i rekon emphasise the low back no?

[marxistsoldier]

stiff legs is a hamstring exercise

[t33cael]

nice form!

but that platform is a waste, why not just do it on the floor?

[geneticAnimal111]

you can go down lower and it works your lower back more.

[justinhardt1]

he doesn't even go lower than that platform though lol

[devindman66]

its so the weights dont hit the ground and bounce

[wtfudimbo]

yea "london bridge" gives a mean pump..haha

good form though!

[MrPS2k8]

aren't you trying to target the lower back with SLDL's?

[coolliger]

no, hamstrings

[paulio2293]

that gym is hardcore, i can honestly say in all my time training i have never seen a gym with a specialised platform for stiff leg deadlifts. awesome!

[mizunogolfer123]

no gym with bright yellow weights is hardcore...lol...good vid

[Morthica]

Its better then bright pink lol I was thinking the same about the specialised platform as well, bad ass!

[JessicaE44]

GOOD!!!!!

[NJmalibu313]

Did he sneeze?

[cakejaffer]

@bskola , thanks for posting this video,, I learnt a lot from it. bless u.

[deads]

solid. loved it. i still can't differentiate RDL and SLDL. anyone?

[paulmedina]

rdl start w/knees bent @ a squat. the lifting force 2 get the bar off the floor starts w/the quads. it's a good exercise 2 do for quads as an alternative 2 the squat if u have compression problems w/your lower back. nother variation is the sumo w/legs spread & bent @ the knees w/feet pointed away from ea. other like a sumo wrestler. skola's stiff leg lift is very good; the slight bend in knees takes a lot of stress off lower back. considering the amount of weight it's actually an excellent lift

[massofgas]

wow i dont even see the dead part of the sldl ur just reppin that thing without deloading on the ground

ur gym has nice equipment but whats with the pop music in all ur videos?

[nyk86]

wow wow strong ignorance.

[massofgas]

yep seems ive been doin them wrong all along

[bskola]

I think you're confusing SLDL's with regular deadlifts...  as for the pop music, thats what my gym plays... it doesnt bother me, I block it out when I'm lifting anyways.

[Flarex2]

Haha sucks, both the gyms I go to play the same kind of music

[MultiWingnut]

@bskola Is it OK to go all the way to the ground in SLDLs? because I've been doing them that way until now.

[nyk86]

hey Hola,

those looked more like RDLs rather than SLDLs. but yea, correct me if im wrong.

its still awesome lifting though.

[bskola]

Yeah, my SLDL's are more of a hybrid. I've found that if I bend my knees slightly and don't let my lower back go below parallel I can keep the stress on my hamstrings, instead of my lower back.

[arj0878]

Fergie...looooool....good lifting as usual though
