Straight Leg / Staright Back DL Vs. Regular Deadlift

[John04Civic]

I want to gain mass in my legs, as I feel the rest of my body is expanding, but my legs are not.

I currently do SLDLs every week when I hit my legs. Right now I can do 230 lbs X 10 reps, but I bet I can pull 250 if I really wanted to.

Should I just up the weight so I do less reps or switch Deadlift styles to gain the most mass in my legs?

More weight. And stick to shorter sets for deads. Pick a weight you can JUST manage 6 reps with. With deads, you tend to lose form too easily as your back fatigues.

Thanks.. I might be able to hit the magical 275 barrier then I'll try tomorrow and post an update!
