What's the best deadlift for the lower back?
I would like to tart a strength trianing program and have been told to incorporate the deadlift into my routine. However, I see so many variations such as a Romanian deadlift, stiff-legged deadlift, etc., and I do not know which is the best to perform to strengthen my lower back? A description of how to perform the exercise correctly would be helpful too!

I will offer you one better than a description…
contact me at thefitguy@gmail.com and be sure to mention your the DEADLIFT GUY in the subject box so I know who you are.
I will offer you free access to my online fitness coaching site and create an account that will show you both of these lifts.
It will give you a visual on performing them correctly as well as a written description.
You can print it out for latter use.
The main difference is that one is used for developing the back while the other is predominately used for hamstring developemenet…big difference right!
Yours in Health and Fitness,
James

The deadlift builds practical strength for athletics and daily living. It involves so many muscles it is darn near a whole body exercise. So it is a very efficient movement and builds great back strength.
If you want to focus more narrowly on your back, here is a link to show a Romanian Deadlift form. http://www.joeskopec.com/assist.html
Back extensions (a.k.a. hyperextensions) are also great for the back.
As implied by one of the other replies, the stiff-legged version is more of a hamstring developer.
Whatever type of deadlift you choose, start very light, but keep adding weight and overtime the benefits will be great.
