This was usually performed as the second hamstring exercise in Dorian’s leg routine and the fifth exercise of the entire workout.
Now the form here is crucial, it’s not a traditional deadlift, it’s not a partial deadlift, it’s a stiff legged deadlift.
He’d utilise his years of building his mind-muscle connection and shift the focus to his hamstrings, that was the target area and not the lower back.
The only areas of stress should be on the hamstrings and partially the glutes with the back being slightly arched and come down to the mid-shin area, then drive back up through the hamstrings.
It takes practice to nail this but once you do, you’ll feel the difference.
You’ll often see people throwing around heavy weights with no real focus and intent, but keep your form perfect and each rep should be performed with precision and intent.
Of course with this exercise, no further high-intensity technique was required nor was it needed, just go to failure.
