Is the partial deadlift performed the same as key stone deadlifts?
THanks

Not really because the partial deadlift is usually performed supported on blocks or a power rack. When people say “partial deadlift” it usually refers to a heavy deadlift done from an elevated height. The keystone deadlift could be considered a form of partial deadlift but is more an exercise designed to isolate the hamstrings, not build full body power.
Never heard of a keystone deadlift. Could someone explain?
Thanks,

Keystone Dead Lift:
My understanding is that this is basically a Romanian Dead Lift. Same thing. Hence, the emphasis on the hammies.
Anyone else?
RDL’s: Sharp rearward break at the hips… Push your butt backwards keeping your shins perpindicular to the floor… let the bar travel down the thighs until you feel a tight stretch in the hammies… pause momentarily then begin your ascension (snapping the hips in). One rep.
Oh yeah, one more thing, very important: WEIGHT ON THE HEELS!
