Instructions
Band Good Morning
Using a 41 inch band, stand on one end, spreading your feet a small amount. Bend at the hips to loop the end of the band behind your neck. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your legs straight, extend through the hips to come to a near vertical position.
Ensure that you do not round your back as you go down back to the starting position.
Kettlebell Dead Clean
Place kettlebell between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulder. The wrist should rotate as you do so.
Lower the kettlebell, keeping the hamstrings loaded by keeping your back straight and your butt out.
Verdict
Both exercises target the hamstrings. Band Good Morning is a beginner exercise using bands, while Kettlebell Dead Clean is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Band Good Morning if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Kettlebell Dead Clean for a greater challenge.
