Description

Deadlift vs stiff-leg deadlift. What’s the difference? They look similar and definitely target many of the same muscle groups, but the execution and emphasis are different. The stiff-leg deadlift places more tension on the hamstrings due to less knee bend and a greater hip hinge, while the conventional deadlift is a more full-body movement that also involves the quads, glutes, core, and upper back, allowing for heavier loads. So which one should you do? It depends on your program. In PERSIST, we make sure each muscle group is trained at an effective dose, so the decision between exercises largely depends on what the rest of the program already covers. #functionalbodybuilding #deadlift #hamstring #glutes Look good, move well - try Functional Bodybuilding free with a 2 week trial of my Persist training program: https://functional-bodybuilding.com/persist/
