I've had troubles with deadlifts, and using EXRX as a guide, have
replaced them with goodmornings. My hamstring development has been acceptable, as has my gluteal development. My lifted-weight increase is noticeable. As a layman, the two exercises (gmornings, deadlifts) seem similar in mechanics as they impact the legs - one (gmornings) carries the load on the shoulders, the other also includes the arms (dlifts). How do they differ in impact on the hamstring/gluteal muscles? BLink |

How do they differ in impact on the hamstring/gluteal muscles? Many people find the grooves similar enough that, even if they compete at deadlifting, they can get away with training mostly the GM and doing the DL only once every couple of weeks or so. Many such people also squat so it's not clear that the GM alone would give sufficient carryover but I'm sure there's a decent carryover, even if you don't squat. The biggest difference between the GM and DL I'm aware of, other than the ones you mention, is the fact that the GM includes a negative portion. Negatives have a reputation for being good for hypertrophy, which is what you've after if memory serves, so your purposes may be best served by GM's and not DL's. (For me, the lack of a negative and lack of potential for hypertrophy is one of the reasons I DL and not GM.) Of course, one can work the negative in the DL but it's riskier than working the negative in the GM. Just my opinion. -S- http://www.kbnj.com BLink |
