    That IS the only way to go IMO... granted you're doing everything once a week like JamesC said.

    SLDL on leg day, just don't go too heavy - it's a stretching exercise.

    I alternate SLDL on leg day one week, deadlift on back day the next to avoid impinging gains.

    I place stiff-legged deadlifts on leg day. I place them in my program as a hamstring exercise (glutes are also worked as well). The stretch can be pretty intense and cause some serious muscle fiber damage.

    I alternate. One week I do squats, the next week I do deads. So basically I'm doing each one, every two weeks. Since I've adopted this method instead of doing both every week I have made gains in size and strength.

    good stuff. I'll agree with the others, SLDL can cause some serious soreness and hamstring growth.
