Just one qestion on the SLDL. How should this be done? Should you have a slight bend in the knees or should legs be straight? If possible a video would be good if there is one to post?

Thanks in advance for the help

Knees are slightly bent but remain locked at that angle throughout the movement.

Cheers mate. I did figure that. Was looking for a video that best shows it. Very wary of hurting my lower back so want to make sure I am doing this rightas I have had injuries in the past.

The best way to avoid hurting yourself is to start off light and allow your body to adapt to the lift. Once you get the feel for it then start pushing the weights up.

I've felt SLDL in the lowerback before. It's a symptom of not keeping back tight. If your hamstrings are screaming obscenities at you, you're probably doing it right.

I would expect to feel SLDLs in the lower back as well as the hamstrings.

I've heard this referred to a few times here.
But what does it really mean?

Could the hamstring curl be the equivalent exercise for knee health?

The Westside guys do band ham curls, band abductions, laterals and cable pressdowns for knee, hip, shoulder and elbow health respectively
High reps (50-200 a set) most, if not all days of the week

Also, a butt load of sled dragging for both upper and lower body, as well as club and rope work for shoulder health

As well as the bandbell bench bar
