The stiff-leg deadlift targets the hamstrings and buttocks muscles. Although often done with a barbell, using dumbbells for the stiff-leg deadlift exercise offers some advantages. When first learning the stiff-leg deadlift exercise, start with light dumbbells while you perfect the technique.
When you perform leg extensions, you contract the quad to bring your knees up against the weighted resistance. While many other exercises such as squats, lunges or deadlifts also provide a heavy workout for the quads, they do not isolate the muscle like a leg extension does.
