In your RDL/SLDL video (thanks for all the great content you've been putting out recently btw) you say that keeping the back locked in extension is the top priority even if it means more knee flexion. For the stiff legs, my problem is that I can't set up with legs any straighter than my normal deadlift without just rounding my whole back over. I don't know if it's a hamstring flexibility issue or what. Should I just start out with medium deadlifts and try to work on my flexibility to get a straighter knee angle over time?
