Nov 10, 2011 6:11 PM: This is one of those movements that need to begin with light weight if you're doing it for the first time. As long as you keep your back flat, look forward and NEVER arch your back you can get a great workout. This one will put some hair on your chest.

Nov 10, 2011 4:25 PM: Seems to be working really well for my hamstrings. But still I don't see a difference between this and romanian deadlift, is there anyone who can explain it ?

Jul 8, 2011 2:41 PM: Awesome exercise. I can really feel these in my hamstrings and glutes afterward. Be careful and have someone look at your form when you do them.

Mar 30, 2011 10:31 PM: Love doing this with triple drop sets but I don't use the pronated grip. I prefer the alternated grip because I lift heavier. But this will develop your hamstrings faster than the machines.

Dec 22, 2010 5:19 PM: This is my favorite leg excercise to do, take your time with it and build up the weight this is a difficult exercise to do, and if you screw it up and go too heavy, you will hurt yourself, but if you master it, this will make your hamstrings go up a size or three, great if all your gym has are leg curl...+See More

Aug 13, 2010 10:21 AM: This really hits and stretches the upper hams, glutes and lower back. Caution may cause you to walk funny the next couple of days.

Jul 13, 2010 6:32 PM: Personally, I feel this exercise more in my lower back than in my hamstrings, but it's a phenomenal compound exercise and a great way to build mass. To the guy who gave it a 3 - give me a break. Proper form is easy to follow and unless you are being stupid and trying to max out with weight you have...+See More

Jul 2, 2010 11:18 AM: If you're feeling more upper glute and lower back, then you're not working the hams. This sounds crazy, but it works: Lower the weight, and use your lats to lock your shoulders in a down position. While going to the bottom, don't let your shoulders hang down with the weight, but keep them locked in...+See More

Mar 3, 2010 7:04 PM: One of the best hamstring builders ever. One thing I will say, which goes against thise video, is that when you do these, dont bend your knee's on the way down, that work the quads and doesnt focus on the 3 hamstrings as much for me anyways. Try to stick your glutes out as far as you can, while your...+See More

Mar 3, 2010 5:17 PM: Form cannot be stressed enough when doing Deadlifts. It is okay to drop weight to get form right then move back up when you have it down. This can be said for any lift, but a bad Deadlift form will wreck you.
