Good mornings into leg routine

[blood_drinker]

Check out my leg day

Squats- 3 sets 6 reps
Hack squat or leg exts (mood dependant) - 3 sets

Stiff legged deads - 3 sets 6 reps
Lying leg curls- 3 sets 6 reps.



Now, i want to incorporate good mornings as they blast hams better than lying leg curls IMO. I hate machines except for cable cross overs and tricep pressdowns - the range of motion feels extremely artificial - so i avoid em, and want to dump leg curls.

I like to work on the stiffs though, because they keep my grip trained. My grip lags, and I like to work it. My lower back lags too, so i think ill sub the lying leg curls for good mornings.

What do you guys think ? Also, before or after the stiffs? Which one is more effective, in your very educated and experienced opinion (IYVEAEO).

Thanks

To be honest I wouldn't do stiff's and good mornings in the same workout, they basically target the same area. I have always preferred good mornings on back day after deads, when I do them on leg day I do them right after squats before my quads get too tired.

If you want to do them on leg day, alternate between stiffs and GM's. Week 1 do stiffs, and week2 do GMs. I would do them directly after squats, as they are a somewhat dangerous exercise.

I agree. Other than the placement of the bar, they're pretty much the same excercise. I would do one or the other, but not both.

I agree with the others.Doing both in the same session would probably overtrain most people's lower backs.I prefer good mornings to stiff legs, and if you are worried about your grip, you could always incorporate some specific grip work.

don't do both on the same day. try doing GM for a while. like 8 weeks. that way you can concentrate on good form, and trying to slowly up the weight. throw in some grip work if you are worried about it.
