Fadi and Markos seem to think RDLs and SLDLs are the same
Never heard of that first one dr00. I always do them like I do a Good Morning (except obviously the weight isn't on my shoulders lol)
SLDL - keep the legs straight to the point where your knees aren't locked, then do the deadlift movement only till the point where you can maintain the arch in your lower back. How far down you can go is dependant on a persons flexibility. Most should be able to go just below the knee, some can reach half way down their shin, others might only get to just above the knee.
Note: If you go past the point of keeping the arch in your back (i.e. rounded back), and you haven't been training it progressive resistantly to build strength in that position, you run the risk of injury.

Fadi, what sort of rep range & how many sets is best with goodmornings/back extensions?

Rob Kabbas (1984 silver medalist C&J) has his lifters at Phoenix finish with Good Mornings straight after doing back squats.
Is that question for me PB? If so, I've never heard of that. In addition, I personally would not go down that road. Good mornings if done incorrectly or with too much weight relative to the exercise itself let alone being based on 1RM snatch or any other movement would invite injury in my opinion.I think I know them as 'bend-overs', the bar is at the same position as a GM or back squat....you bend over (with the hips), then thrust forward with the hips. They'll be a part of my next cycle. From what I've learned, you're supposed to use a % of your best snatch, to set weight / intensity.
Can you confirm this
