Whats the best foot placement on SLDL to target hams? Feet tight together or shoulder width apart?

I put my feet as close together as I can while still having good balance.  Seems like this hits my hamstrings more and my lower back a bit less than with wider feet.

I keep legs straight and while lowering the bar keep it as close as possible to the shins. And don't ever round the back. That means sticking out your butt considerably (no homo). When going up it's really an "feel the muscle"- exercise. If I don't concentrate the lower back takes over immediately.
Best exercise for hams, no competition..leg curls are useless, imo.

Yes, sticking out your ass is the key. seriously. It helps you keeping your waist straight and get a good stretch.
