Replacement exercise for GM's

[neptune1939]

At age 73 shoulder surgeries limit my shoulder movements to the point that I am unable to rest a BB across my traps to do GM???s. Is there a substitute compound exercise to replace it? Is theRDL just as effective? Earl

Kettle ball swings is another I would look at

and possibly a safety bar if you can get access to one.

Thank you, I have a Hoist cable model 310A 200 Lb system that should work well.

Would stiff-leg or straight-leg deadlifts also be a good substitution? Or maybe cable rows?

SLDL would be good, even a slight bend in the knees could be more comfortable, keeping it light and focusing on stretch and contraction. Cable rows will hit an entirely different muscle group then what the OP is wanting to focus on with this change, which is his posterior chain (hams and glutes)...
