Y'all,
I'm in the midst of a search for information on this subject. It's both your faults, with your glut ham raise machines !
Anyhow, I'm looking for information or articles that tend to confirm that there is an advantage to exercising a bi-articulate muscle both ways and if so, in sequence as vs simultaneously.
So, I can do exercises drawing my heel back toward my ham against resistance. I do this exercise on the TG. You may have seen it.
I can do an exercises extending the angle of my torso relative to my femur. I do this exericse as a RDL with which you are familiar.
Q. Is the entire muscle group exercised by either? Both?
Q. What is the effective difference between the exercises?
Q. Regardless of the answers to one and two, is there an advantage, other than saving time, to doing both at once, viz a Ham raise or a ghr? (a ham raise being when you take the torso to parallel, and a ghr being when you permit the torso to go to vertical only.
Peace,
fish

Hey fish, I'm not feeling well enough yet to tackle your questions...but I'll give them a try as soon as I do. One comment though, when doing a ghr I do not go vertical...my body is parallel to the floor. For me, this works much better as when I go vertical I have I seem to have more momentum to help carry me up.
I hope ya'll are doing good..I hope to be back to the land of the living by the end of the week.
