Double Overhand RDL's

[skjill]

Do you consider double overhand RDL's for sets of five a light day pulling exercise tantamount to GHR's, in the context of a 3 day, full body program like SS, TM or HLM?

I've seen them recommended as such, which strikes me as odd, at least in part because my power clean is abysmal. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Yeah, probably. Double overhand / no straps / no hook will limit your workset weight pretty good. You could probably use them on a light day without any real consequence. Not sure what training effect you're going to get from it though.
