Hi. I'm training for splits, between other things, and stiff-leg deadlifts have helped me a bunch. But now when i do them I reach the ground with the plates (and I even use just 10 1/4 in diameter plates). I remember a while ago, in a gym where I trained at that time, watching a girl doing a stiff-leg deadlift on a 12-18 in tall box, in order to go lower with the barbell.
Has anyone of you tryed it? Do you know of any serious injury risk due to this variation of the exercise?
