    I dont find deadlifts hit my hamstrings at all. Im very supple tho. Stiff leg deadlifts dont do **** for me either, i get no stretch whatsoever doing em, but i can lean forward and plant both palms on the floor easy so that kinda explains it.
    I wouldnt rely on these two exercises personally, even if i was walking around in someone elses body. I like to actually feel my hammies working hard. Ive found that a version of romanian deadlifts using dumbells is the only free weight exercise i can do for any kind of stretch without stressing my back. I do those and seated hamstring curls.

    and stiff leg dl's kill me...i do em a little differnt though...i spread my legs about shoulder width and it lets me drop a liite deeper and handle more weight....my hams are just naturally thick i guess...i used to do the lying curl's...and still do from time to time...but not when im thinking mass

    prime, im the same way... i can plant my hands on the floor with my legs locked. So what i do for SLD is keep a bend in my knees. Not a big bend, but i dont have my legs straight. You get more stretch in your hams when you come down and go back up.

    stiff legged deads kill my hams also

    i find that hamstring curls don't do **** for me, even when i'm doing the whole stack, stiff legged deads though...my hams will be sore for a week

    i have tried that (what your suggesting is the basic version of romaninan deads) romanians work ov, bu i still dont get a full stretch. I find i end up stressing my back way more then my hamstrings.
