Reg deads don't work the posterior chain.???

Most people are weak full stop. Better off learning the basics for a start. Then when they actually get some strength start fixing any weakness.

Find where I said they didn't work the posterior chain.
SLDLs/RDLs just directly target the hamstrings much more.

I can't link to ProRaw from here so can't post the thread where it was discussed and cbf copying and pasting an entire thread.

Sorry, first I'm not bagging SLDL they are a great exercise. I'm just not for weak point training until your strong. I don't feel beginners need to target anything. Just get good at the basics, then worry about the other stuff later.

Anyway just my thoughts.

from the perspective of a beginner, it sound as though the net result both exercises is nearly identical. with that in mind, remembering that this is a beginners program, the exercise which is technically easier would seem like the way to go...

ps/ for the record, i'm doing regular deads as a part of my "beginner" program, but that's just because rippetoe told me to - i have no insight, i'm just following orders.

sorry if i sound stupid but why not incorporate both SLDL's and regular dead lifts into your routines? why does it have to be one or the other why not change it up a bit?

I seem to recall Markos talking about the lengthened recovery time if you were to do DL's 3x8 as opposed to SLDL's. There was some talk a while back about dropping the volume if someone wanted to do DL's instead.

If your going to do normal deadlift with much effort/intensity/weight then drop the SLDL's/deadlift on the other 2 days that week. Or at most do speed pulls. Only a fool will do normal deadlift heavy 3 times a week.
