But would locking your elbows into the bars and thus diminishing the weight on the legs be a good idea..it's the only way how I can speed up the 'running' .. the cadence while standing.
Missed this...

Good question. I'd say it couldn't hurt and, since muscle engagement is very much a question of angles, I don't think it would diminish the hamstring workout... On the other hand, it's not like I ever studied biomechanics...
