What’s the difference between Good Mornings and RDLs?

Good Morning: bar on back, hinge at hips

RDL: bar in hands, hinge at hips

But the muscles impacted pretty much the same? Other than grip, lats (rdl) and spinal loading (gm)

They're both hinge movement patterns, so yea basically the same.

No, basically not the same. 

Same movement with different loading patterns = different muscle activations = different purposes

Good mornings primarily target spinal erectors

RDL’s primarily target hamstrings & glutes

Key differences

I'm not sure that was a GM 😅

The hinge should be same/similar to an RDL.

I've only done good mornings straddled on a bench, it was all back no hamstrings or glutes.  maybe I was doing them wrong.
