    Not needed if the back starts to round, YOU MUST keep a natural arch and keep your chest elevated or you'll risk injury in the spinal column. I have never seen anyone short enough to do an RDL or SLD where they could maintain correct posture and still needed to stand on a platform.

    I'm 5'6"... I do SLDLs (straight leg.. not just stiff leg) on a 6" platform.. lowering to my instep on each rep.

    My back does not round over...and i use a shitload of weight where possible.

    I've always pushed the range of motion on this and other exercises to maintain a high level of flexibility.

    Hip, hamstring, and shoulder flexibility training should be a conscious part of every trainee's program.

    Well, there you have it. I stand corrected.
