Okay guys, which of this exercises hit the hamstrings harder, the Good mornings, sld´s or romanian. Or should i say which one works better for you =)



Peace.

Personally, straight legged goodmornings. I've heard different people say all sorts of exercises though.

I've found that Romanian deadlifts (using a barbell) with a pause just below the knees hits the hams the hardest for me. But I really love olympic style good mornings (think of a squat and good morning put into one move).

Good mornings for me as well.Also known as "tomorrow mornings" because of the soreness most people feel from them.I use to like supersetting them with glute/ham raises.

is it the same barbell good mornings and smith GMs, coz as i see it with the barbell, it could be quite dangerous when you load a lot of weight.

i love the SLD, but did good mornings over the summer. great exercise.

RDL are on my 'new exericse to learn' list along with overhead squats.

I would not recommend GMs on a machine because you'll want your natural motion to go through with this movement. Two things- realize that heavy is subjective-what I find heavy is not what you'll find heavy. And never load the weight so heavy that your form suffers.

Good points by evolution regarding good mornings.Also, the safest place to do them is in the power rack with the safety pins set at the lowest point of your range of motion.If something goes wrong or you can't finish the rep, you have the safety pins to back you up.

Good morning, conv/sl/olympic style, for me. But I' wish I had the strength to do GHR's.
