its better to split them, I would also suggest that if you think that stiff leg deads don't do much for hams that you're doing them incorrectly

this was my thinking but i have checked loads of form guids and you tube vids and i seem to be doing them ok
what i find esp when on juice is that i get lower back pump before my hams are completely done so i end up few reps short of fully doing ham part as get back pump
this was alos reason to superset as hams was hurting already from curl so stiff leg really finish them off
still leg is always something i feel im doing wrong to be honest
i will do a vid on form monday and post to see where maybe going wrong

Just a suggestion . . . when I first did stiff legged deads I really concentrated on keeping my hams straight and taking my lower back out of it, the same as if I was doing a static hamstring stretch, lowered the weight and really tried to feel the stretch in my hams, almost using the weight to increase/lengthen the stretch. Found that did the trick and after that, as I increased the weight, I always feel it.
It's hard to explain on paper, but once you get it you'll know exactly what I mean.
I just love stiff legged deadlifts. Perfect compliment to squats (on separate days for me)

I took that advice, dialed back weight and found I ended up getting more from the workout.

Lowering the weight is part of it but I was trying to make the point about engaging the hamstrings properly.

Watching with interest. If you get to 190kg by Xmas I'll buy you a decent pair of pants and then you can give those back to your grandad

Must correct this error. The offer still holds for lbs.
If you get to 190kg I'll buy you a coffin!

I know, was just speaking on my experience. I dialed back some of the weights I was using, and I have no doubt that I'm getting much more from the workout. Meaning that I have more control over which body part I'm trying to hit.
