its very easy really..its as the names says, a stifflegged deadlift. Stand with your legs at shoulderwith, or togheter. if you are flexible, stand on an elevated paltform ,so the weights dont touch the floor. grab the bar, with a shoulderwith grip. bend forward, back straight, slightly bend in knees. go as far as you can, then lift up with your back and hams, when you almost reach the top, straighen you knees and flex your hams. you should feel it in your hams, butt and lower back...you dont have to go heavy on this exercise..you wil lfeel it no matter what

check out that website. works the lower back secondary. never heard anyone ask to work out hams though but that's cool that you aren't just interested in arms and chest like alot of people

not if you keep a slight bend in your knees... i prefer romanian dls personally... a little more bend in the knees and your back is completely flat (you never bring your torso past parallel)... slight difference in form, but helps work the glutes and hams real good
