I should say that on exercises like SLDL or good mornings that I would worry less about moving weight than using good form and letting the weight help make the movement obvious. By that I mean that the weight should be enough to make it obvious that you have to stay tight, and it should be enough that it shows you where your flexibility is. You should feel the stretch in your hams and the arch in your back all at once. The weight really is there to act as a feedback tool. I wouldn't start adding weight until the feedback starts to diminish. Once you are using a good ROM and the back arch is second nature without it being a concentrated effort... THEN move the weights up a bit.
