deadlift= from the floor all the way up to lockout
RDL= starting from the top position (standing), slight bend in the knees (unlock the knees) and drive the hips back, bringing the bar down just past the knees (or whereever your flexibility currently allows you to bring it down to without flexing the spine) and then back up to standing position.
SLDL= same as RDL except the knees are locked and legs are totally straight. traditionally it is done with a rounded back, however, a neutral spine is much safer and commonly recommended.
