Straight legged Deads vs. Full Dead

[gmanlax7]

how inferior are straight legged ? I've never realy seen any one doing a real deadlift, except for with that square metal thing you can put plates on.

What are you trying to achieve? Hypetrophy? 'Functional' strength?

Edit: Whatever the case may be [unless you're only looking for hamstring hypertrophy] deadlifts are better.

go for the real deadlift. i use partial deadlifts rather than stiff legged for accessory work.

straight legs caused my disc herniation due to the curvature... stick with #1--good morninggs # 2--deadlifts...

Stiff-legged dead are better for hamstring development. If you are not specifically training your hams, then regualr deads are your best bet.
