straightleg is just another type. It focuses on lower back and hamstrings. The bent leg variation focuses on mid back and lower back.
youll feel it in both, but the common opinion from what ive read is that straight legs are for legs days, bent are for back |

ahh your right im sorry.. just thinking of hte mechanics.. a straigth leg deadlift would work your hamstrings as well
the bent leg would work your quads if anything combinatory with your lower back
still straight leg is more isolation since your hams are only preforming isometric flexion. your lower back is worked but functional is still more effective for a combinatory lower body workout
ps.. stop proving me wrong |

yeah the bent leg definitely are more compound and for that all body beat its the way to go. If you are trying to focus on leg day and dont want to get too much blood pulled out of your legs into your lats and spinal stabilizers :p
Maybe do them last?
Also all of this is just for maximization. The difference, in reality, is probably slight at best |

you want to get your errector spinae (spinal muscles) worked hence the lower back. functional for the lower body up to the mid back of course your going to get romboid (middle back) traps, and latissimus felxion when your upright in your rep. but again this is predominantly isometric flexion mainly for those muscle groups. Perhaps putting deadlifts towards the end of the set would be a better idea.. but they do take a lot of energy to do (since they are a functional excercise) and thats why i placed them at the beginning of the workout. To put them at the end your abdominals will be exausted, calves exausted. A bit risky since your abs are core stabilizers. Injury is more likely to occur then. |

yeah. its tough. I think thats why I ended up moving DLs to the back day. Legs took too much out of me and if I did DLs I couldnt do the hams and quad extensions.
but putting DLs into back day means you then have to split back from chest days and now all of a sudden youre in there every day of the week hehe.
way to be wiz. you should take beginning stats so you can compare them in a month or so |

yeah.. well thats good for isolation. Even doing a standing shoulder press will also work your entire traps region/lats spinae romboids hamstrings etc. so really this is a full body workout routine i posted with concentrations on upper one day and lower the next day. Its experimental. Ill post results in a month or so |

yeah my weight gain to 180 was from squats one day (2 different times) and a legs day, and t-bar rows and DLs another, and then barbell bench the other.
3 workouts a week 2 day rests, 5k cal intake.
it was all about the compound movements, just giving enough energy blasted into each one seperately that they were totally exhausted but then had a week to recover.
but everyone reacts totally different. I know some people lost weight off those when I gained ...just gotta find the groove.
its frustrating trying to figure out how your body works with exercise hehe |
