Just wondering what the difference is..they both seem very similar. Is there a "superior" exercise?
Good mornings are more similar to an RDL than an SLDL.Just wondering what the difference is..they both seem very similar. Is there a "superior" exercise?
What kind of difference? I guess I should be more specific, they both work the same muscles? Will just one suffice or should I do both?Good mornings are more similar to an RDL than an SLDL.
They are similar but the way the weight is loaded (on back vs in front of body) makes a big difference.
I wouldn't say either is superior but that is just my personal opinion on this.
I would alternate between the two.What kind of difference? I guess I should be more specific, they both work the same muscles? Will just one suffice or should I do both?
My thoughts exactly.wheres Red when you need him
so are you saying anything more than a few inches is not needed. ive been going a few inches off the floor while keeping a good, safe formSLDL as in straight leg deadlift or stiff leg deadlift? Stiff ok, straight not so much.
Both the GM and RDL are useful. The major issue I see with the RDL/SLDL is that people over estimate the ROM of their hamstrings. If you are keeping the pelvic tilted anteriorly (ie. back nice and arched) then most people exhuast hamstring ROM a few inches below the knee. Anything deeper than that becomes a series of spinal flexion.

Well you don't want to lock the knees in any deadlift movement. They should always have a slight or ever so slight bend, keeping the tension on the leg muscles and not closing or the knee joint.SLDL as in straight leg deadlift or stiff leg deadlift? Stiff ok, straight not so much.
Without any weight, put your hands on your hips and keeping your back in lordosis (lumber and t-spine, chest up, etc.) bend over keeping knees unlocked. You will feel your pelvis rotating and the tension on the hams increasing. Note the point where the pelvic no longer rotates. Now reach down. This is as deep as you need to go. Any deeper and the movement will be accomplished via spinal flexion. You likely will not enter a state of kyphosis..or rounding bringing the weight to a few inches off the floor, but it those last few inches will be back flexion, not hip flexion.so are you saying anything more than a few inches is not needed. ive been going a few inches off the floor while keeping a good, safe form
