So not locked at the knees? How far do you lower the weight? Until it touches the floor or as far as you can?

knees are locked as in you do not change the angle the of the knees during the movement.

The knees are not locked out in full extension.

Lower the weight as far as you can, you should feel a good stretch. if your hamstrings are long enough, you should be able to touch the floor with ease.

If you have short hamstrings/low flexibility only lower as far as you can while maintaining good back position (i.e. neutral back and no hunching/bending)

Ive done 2 sessions of it so far. I think ill go all the way to 140/100/180 with it. Im basically starting over again from scratch. You can check my training diary on these forums for more info if you want.

If youre going to do it, remember to sleep and eat plenty.

KungFooGoo did it after coming back from a hernia. Did it for 3 months and was 120/87.5/160. l had lifted like a spastic before though so take that '3 months' with a grain of salt.

Just take it slow with the weight progression 1-2kgs is plenty when you start out even with just the bar then when shit gets tough slow down to .5-1kg. Just eat a lot and sleep a lot... both of which l did niether.
