Deciding which deadlift to do comes down to personal preference and how flexible you are. Also, most people don't feel comfortable with stiff legs for fear of a knee injury. Well, I can assure you if done properly each exercise is completely safe and targets both the glutes, hamstrings, and spine erectors very well. I personally feel like I get a better burn in my hamstrings with the stiff-leg deadlift and usually stick with that if my goal is to work my hamstrings
On a side-note, the Romanian deadlift is a great exercise if your goal is to also work on your hip extension to become better at regular deadlifts as well as squats.
Train hard Nation! #HTH

Yes, there IS a difference. Make sure you know how to tell them apart!
why is your accent different in your new videos. what is this bs
Goat ocaust.... yeah I noticed his change of accent as well! I use to be a subscriber until he changed his accent that's when I was aight ! I'm out !!! Herman ! Did you go Hollywood on us ????
Goat Ocaust lol exactly! He actually says bar in this video instead of his current bahbell annunciation. What a douche!
Why'd you change your accent?!
Not only has his accent changed... he's not farting as much as he use to in his videos!
I am from Romania. I am happy we made a contribution to such an amazing sport !
Thank you for your country's invention kind sir
@@SiLoMixMaster You're welcome!
Your country is full of strong people
@@jmgonzales7701 Yes.
The side by side comparison where you showed both at once was really helpful, I wish you showed a few more reps though
SLDL starts from the floor, it´s like a regular deadlift but with hips higher and a lot less quad involvement.
RDL starts from the top and you go down as low as your mobility allows, until the hamstrings are fully stretched.
@@upgradeiself1603 quad shold be 0x100 involved...
@@realista182 yeah idk where the quads came in
@@crunchtoast6685 quads come in when it's standard deadlifts. quad + hams + glutes
Yeah ! Just caught a glimpse of it .👁 lol
I like how you put them side by side, that really helped a lot. I'm also glad you point out the flexibility and proper form. Thank you.
All this time I thought I was doing RDL I was actually doing SLDL. Glad I checked...
Stiff leg more advanced but lot people don't prefure them just how it is very good for hip flexion both movements
You forgot to mention that with the straight leg dl your knees should still be very slightly bent and not completely straight and too stiff as this can cause injury
Yea that's true
True words. I also never lock completly out at the standing calve machine or squats. The form looks so nice and clean in the video but the reality is you fucking up your knees with that shit
no they should be completely stiff. first increase flexibility. Should not take more than a couple of months for normal people. then start doing em STIFF with light weights and keep strengthening the lower back by increasing the weight. you do em bent, you are not doing it correctly asswhole
You should never lock out and go completely stiff on any exercise. There should always be a bend, although it is very slight for an exercise like the SLD.
@@kebas239 Actually no having your legs locked and having your legs straight are completely different things; straight does not mean locked. Locked is where the joint is locked out (as the name suggests lol) and no further eccentric movement can occur at this joint. In people with hypermobility, this can go beyond the normal range of normal people and this under weight can cause serious injury in extreme circumstances.
Straight or stiff leg is where the legs are straight but has the ability to eccentrically go further, (but I would not recommend it). The reason why we get taught as PT's and Strength & Conditioning coaches to teach RDL & SDL with a greater bend is that it is safer and easier to teach to Newbies.
OMG. I LOVE you. Whenever I'm doing something for the first time, I always look up how to do it here.
Scott, I'd love to see your nutrition and workout plan. Whatever you're doing, it's working.
Another big difference is RDL's start at the top where SLDL start from the ground. RDLs are good for targeting that upper portion of your hamstrings. Due to the hamstrings being a two jointed muscle (knee flexion and hip extension), once your knee is bent, the hamstring is already partially flexed. The rest of the flexion comes form hip extension. SLDL will hit the entire hamstring almost equally.
So happy to hear that. Thanks for coming back to let me know. means a lot! :)
This guy has covered all the workout topics I have searched on youtube as a beginner. I searched difference between stiff leg and Romanian deadlift and this video pops up.
You are very welcome David, thanks for the support!
Thanks Prince! I appreciate the support!
that was awesome. The the split screen it helped so much
So to put it simply:
Deadlift, barbell on the floor
Romanian deadlift, same as deadlift but barbell not on the floor
Stiff deadlift, same as above, but legs must remain stiff
Does that sum it up?
For people such as myself, NO, that isn't all that *I* got out of the video. I didn't know about the glutes squeeze, nor was it clear to me to keep my chest high. You may have gleaned the small summary out of this but others gained a bit more that helps.....but thanks for the try.
yup. romainian deadlift is almost like a rack pull. food for thoughts, practice your rack pull and romain deads on a smith machine...go heavy. it will build up that strength and you will improve your reg deads tremendously!
Dell Delete The core question in the video is: what the difference is between the traditional, stiff legs deadlift and the romanian deadlift, hence why I target the answer to that question in my comment. My comment was not intended to summarise the entire video, nor was I claiming that it was all I got from the video. I was personally interested in the differences between them. There's already video's individually explaining how to properly perform them, so that information was irrelevant for me and many others.
SuperPhoReal Cool.
SiniOnline o
Yeah the difference is so subtle I thought that would help. Glad you liked it! :)
yo scott, everytime i need to learn how to do an exercise properly or decide on what to add to my routine i always check out your channel. your great man keep up the good work!
Thanks my friend, happy to help!
You are right! Will post it next week!
Hey Scott, just wanted to let you know I started working out about a month ago. I've watched a bunch of your videos and man have they been helpful! They helped me make a routine every week, and use proper technique and form. Starting to feel great, just wanted to tell you thanks man! Keep up the great work.
Hello, are you still working out ? Plz give feedback
Well, focusing on full ROM and eating more has made a huge difference. I have been perfecting a new program for the last few months. Has certainly helps me with big strength and muscle gains! Will be releasing it soon after my site launch!
Thanks for showing side by side. I couldn't tell a difference.
haha well I am happy to have been able to help! Thanks! :)
Scott love your video demonstrations they are quick efficient and well made, well versed and to the point, they are one of the best online!! thank you!!!!
Hello Scott Herman.....I have been watching these VS series videos and they are very useful.. thanks to you......I would really be helpful if you demonstrate a video on "one arm side lateral raise vs double arm sode lateral raise" .thank you and love from India
will add it to the list!
+ScottHermanFitness can't wait!!! meeow!
Thank you so much for explaining this. Always go to you for fitness advice.
Such amazing gains man!! Keep it up! Very proud of you! #HTH
Thanks, Mr. Herman. This video helped differentiate the two movements in a clear manner. Thanks for taking the time.
Scott the way you demonstrated the technic and form not many UA-camrs do that ...thanks
you are very welcome!
I will do something like this with my new program. Thanks for the support my friend. I am happy to see you are interested! You will LOVE the new program!
probably the most helpful fitness video in the industry !
you are very welcome
Thanks for the kind words my friend. I am happy to hear the video helped you!
The side by side comparison was great.
when it gets too light! You need to always be increasing you intensity!
Appreciate the reply! The reason why they won't allow it is because they've said this is the 3rd one they have had to buy due to it breaking in previous years which I find strange..
This vid was just what I needed, especially that side by side. This was very helpful.
This really helps! GOOD JOB, love your channel, my favourite youtube channel
Thanks so much for this fantastic video, the side by side view is so useful, really clarifies the 2 different moves. THANKS!
Thank you Scott for the amazing video of how to utilize proper form on the Romanian and Stiff leg dead lift. Very well done.
Combination of both. 12-15 reps give you the VOLUME you need to grow... but doing say 6-8 reps with a 2-2-4 TEMPO will have the same effect. It's all about TUT (Time Under Tension). That is why there are so many programs out there and confused beginners. :) But I hope this helps!
The Romanian lift seems like a much better, safer idea.
Not at all. You just have to adjust the weight accordingly.
Most injuries come from the ego. People don't want to drop half the weight from their deadlift so they end up injured.
Ryebanana I've got NOTHING against reducing the weight; I refuse to take chances with my body. But all things being equal, the Romanian lift seems vastly safer.
+Nick Hentschel no it's not. if you go heavy on both, you have higher chances of getting hurt on the romanian deadlift, it's easy to tear your hamstring. while the SLDL, you stop at the bottom like you normally would on the deadlift, which makes your hamstrings relax and not being stretched the whole time
+Alexis Carvalho it would seem to me that the SLDL there is a bigger stretch in the hamstring and therefore a greater risk of strain compared to RDL where the hamstring is not stretched as hard because the leg is bent, making the SLDL easier to injure yourself? i mean yes done properly you won't but the SLDL requires more flexibility, some peoples hams just can't handle that... my flexibility isn't good i have to bend my legs a lot more than scott does when doing this.
nick hayes it doesn't matter. it's easier because you stop at the bottom. romanian you don't and if you're going heavy (5+plates) it's really easy to torn your hamstring since you gotta hold the negative part..
yeah for sure man, so may choices! glad you liked the video! :) #HTH
Your videos are so helpful and educational to beginners like me!
The side by side comparison was mighty helpful - thanks :)
Great video, thanks for the explanation and posting the side-by-side video. Much appreciated!
Thanks, for explaining the differences.
Thanks, bro! I am just starting back up from decades ago & I had no idea the difference.
Scott, in about 18 months I've gone from 50kg Romanian Deadlifts to 180kg. I do it with form, how is that for progress! Your videos, tips and information have been vital in my progress. Thanks heaps for keeping the fitness community informed =D. A clean, lean and mean diet keeps me feeling strong and energetic!
How much can you RDL now?
Glad you cleared this up. Been bugging me for a while.
This is a great video and will help us all minimise the risk of injury. Great touch have the comparison shots too. For me, shoulders, hamstrings and lower back are where I'm prone to get pain. Your shoulder warm up video has solved 100% any shoulder issues. Now practising what you advise here will help minimise risks to my hammies and back
It sure is, just requires a bit stricter form. Glad you like it!
ahh, Scott once again proves why he is on point. i used to do rack pulls and RDL and sumo and this and that but eventually it all gets confusing and you want to narrow it down (isolating hamstrings isn't a bad idea) to go-to movements, this helps with that.
thanks for the side by side demonstration. starting to use deadlifts in my routine and wasnt sure which was which.
Excellent video, good to see the moves side by side. Thanx again Scott!
Very very soon!
This is the second video I've watched of yours, and both I found were excellent for showing the technique. I'm now going to try the RDL next time i'm in the gym.
Thanks!
Thanks for the honest answer man, tons of respect for that.
You are totaly correct whith both exercise!!
One of the best informative videos I've seen on this confusing topic. Thanks!
It's about time you've made a good video. Thumbs up!
best bit of the vid was the side by side comparison with Romanian deadlift and stiff leg deadlift
I did Stiff knees with pretty heavy weight yesterday...nd now my lower back aches like hell
Thanks for the video! Really helped me with form!
thanks brotha!
Haven't seen any of your vids since 2 years when I first started working out. But wow man, you've changed A LOT! Great improvement, great gains, keep it up Scott!
Great video! Showing them side by side was so helpful! 👍
Fantastic informative video. I've been ive looking for a good video from someone who knows what their talking about. Thank you so much
Your videos are amazing and straight to the point. Thank you.
At last, someone explained this hahah. There are even magazines that show the Romanian DL as the Straight-leg DL. Thanks for the info Scott!
Thanks for the video Scott !
So all this time I thought I was doing Romanian D's when I've actually been doing Stiff Leg D's...COOL haha.
Great video Scott, awesome job on explaining the differences and showing proper form as always.
thanks coolboy :)
Wow Scott, great explanation of these subtle differences. Thank you!
Very helpful and straightforward thanks!
Clearest one ive seen regarding these 2
Thankssss man, the side by side was helpful as hell to me!
Great demonstration. Thankyou!
Great youtube video with clear explanation! Brilliant
To the point, thanks Scott
Thanks for the support Loi #HTH
Has seriously nobody ever found the resemblance between Scott Herman and Lochlyn Munro in "Night at the Roxbury" until I did?
with practice you will get it brotha! :)
I've been googling about lifting and there are always comments about people not wearing shirts. Are there really that many people that get uncomfortable because hes not wearing shirt? Its okay people its 2016. You can come out now.
Thanks Bro. Well Done
This video was exactly what I was looking for !🏋️♀️🙏💪
Good on ya Scott. Good advice.
Nice Scott! Thanks!
Great video learned a lot
awesome so clear and helpful - THANK YOU...!!!
Wrestling shoes have a very stable but thin bottom in them, which makes it a good shoe for deadlifting or squating etc. Especially when deadlifting, as you wanna be as Close to the ground as possible With Your feet, making the distance of a deadlift Shorter.
It's a max effort lift bro, is expected that your form breaks down a bit. That is why you train with proper form to make sure you are strong enough so when you go after your MAX, your chances of an injury are much less. Also, try conducting yourself with some class when you comment.
Great, clear tutorial. Thank you!
Both are great workouts.
its nice to watch someone that knows what theyre talking about. I keep seeing all these vshred videos and a bunch of other clowns. its funny but its sad at the same time
I actually loved that video ... well impressed
Well done!!
Great info Scott. Thanks for posting.
