RDL to the knee or all the way down?

Should RDL be performed to the knee (full hamstring stretch) or all the way down?

I’m not sure what you mean by “all the way down”. We don’t usually touch the floor with the plates (like a SLDL), but we do usually have people perform them to about the mid-shin unless they’re being used for a rehab strategy where a more restricted range of motion is necessary.

How are they performed to mid chin if you achieve full hamstring stretch at the knees?

That last part is a rather large assumption that is not accurate for most people when performing RDLs.

Give it a try, I’m sure you can figure it out.
