Hello, I'm a 73 year-old trainee and do deficit DL's off a 3" high platform for higher reps, 5-8. I've been using them for years, and started at 2" for about a year, then tried 3" and 4.5", but settled onto 3", and honestly don't feel any different from the 2" high platform. I was 6'4" tall most of my life, but now only 6' 2 1/2" tall. I also had the wingspan(reach) of someone who is 6-6 to 6-7", and wanted to get my quads more involved in the start of the lift. Since I was no longer able to back squat(shoulder and rib probs. post surgery), and decided Def Dead's fit into my minimalist training routines.
Ayyye I used to do that too. Those 25s from Walmart were the heaviest plates on a standard bar you could find, and I was 13 so I couldn’t just drive to a sports store or buy plates online.
I started doing a deficit Landmine RDL, 2 bumper plates high (25KG and 20KG) , the weight is light enough about 50KG but it really fries my hams. I must be 8-10 inches off the ground. Last time I did I could feel my hams for 3 days, I assume body will adapt over next month

I want to use these to build my quads instead of squats will it work ?
technically already doing them since I'm using small plates at home
Exactly - I use only 20 lb plates so I start lower. Unless you go very heavy, these work fine

Doing deficit deadlifts as assistance training, increased my power off the floor and I saw gains of up to twenty kilos
Deficit RDLs are great too!
Do you mean stiff leg deadlift? RDLs only go to the shin right?
Good summary
Farmers walks are great overall and rack lock outs.
