Replacement for GM's

[revexrevex]

Is there any exercise which can be substituted for GM's as a primary exercise during ME day??

Box Squats, Dead Lifts

weighted hyper extensions, not to much unless you go with a completely diff exercise, zercher squats-behind the back squats-pin pulls vary pins-dl off of boxes 1"-4"- btw why would you want to find a alternate? all gm's with different bars are great.

my hamstrings are really tight and lower back bothers me a lot. I tried GM's with light weight it was very uncomfortable, maybe because Im not use to them?

Crimson, I love deadlifts, so can I substitute Deadlifts with same rep-scheme for GM's?

Yes. Straight Leg Deadlifts too will work the hams

I agree with Liftbig, if you can do dl's you can do gm's. and rep scheme? you warm up and move up to a max. most people are done in 3 singles once the weight is over 90% anyway.

I am using the 9 week basic split posted, and I read that many people change exercises to suit their needs/environments.

Another question.... what can I use to substitute gluteham and reverse hypers, I cannot do them in my 'fitness center' because there isnt even anything to hook your feet under.
