Full depth on your squat unlocks a whole new gear bro and it mitigates fatigue on your knees. I worked on my knees and mobility for a couple months and I feel 5 years younger squatting 225 for reps 3 x 8 Some studies say you will also grow your quads faster because loading the muscle while its lengthened is better for hypertrophy. Also the hack squat or V squat machine will cook your quads way hotter than the leg press. I highly recommend hitting Hack or V-squat after Olympic squats to give your quads some real growth stimulus.
@@filthyswole oh nice! I would focus on form before going heavier to 90, especially if your grip is still catching up. I use 60s for this movement, so not as strong as you, but i get a nasty hammy and lower back pump just by keeping the reps as clean as possible. Mike Israetel from Renaissance Periodization has a lot of really good videos about RDL form for free. He emphasizes the importance of working through the stretch and gives some really good cues how to keep your knees straight and spine neutral. Upping the weight is just one of the tools in the toolbelt for hypertrophy. More reps and harder reps are also a valid forms of progressive overload! You will still grow

Are you trying to do straight-leg deadlifts for the first movement? I've never seen someone do conventional with dumbbells
was trying to do Romanian deadlifts with dumbbells
