Is it better to deadlift from a board, extending rom and inc muscle mass?

[mario_ps2]

what's up guys..

I've been doing standard deadlifts using all 25 lbs weights(height) to increase range of motion.

My question for all you deadlift guru's. Do you believe it's better to deadlift on top of a 2 inch board which is equal to using 25 lbs weight from floor.. or to use the standard 45 lbs weights for muscle mass?

Please give me your opinions... thank you guys...

Way I do them,
Deadlifts start with the bar at mid-shin level.
I would use a board or whatever it takes to get it to this level.
Or the floor if this gets the bar to this level.

The bar should be around shin level. The deeper you begin the pull the more hamstrings your going to involve.

So I guess it depends on the person, whether he/she wants to make the deadlift more of a back exercise or a full body exercise.

I do them on leg day, i injured my back a while back so i am doing squats, deadlifts to strenghten the whole lower back region, glutes, hams and all.

I dont lift heavy either but the deadlifts is awsome, i do it for back exercise and not full body, keep the bar really close to my legs and make sure that i dont feel any pressure in the lower back, muscles that work are glutes, quads, hams and upperback too
