When we deadlift for load, we’re looking to find the way we can pick the most possible weight off of the ground.  Today’s exercise is a bit different.  We’ll be starting this lift from standing, so we’ll actually do a conventional deadlift to get us into our starting position.  From there, this movement looks a lot like a good morning, only with the bar held with straight arms below our shoulders rather than on our back.  The hips will drive back, but we won’t pull them towards the floor.  Instead, we’ll stop and turn around when we reach the end range of our hamstrings.  In fact, we (most likely) won’t be bringing the weight all of the way to the floor until all 8 reps are done (unless we have very loose hamstrings.)
