Good Mornings Exercise Video

Exercise Instructions:

Good mornings are an isolation exercise that hits the lower back and uses the glutes and hamstrings as secondary muscles. Setup for the exercise by placing a barbell across the back of your shoulders. The bar shoulder rest on the trap muscles, not the back of the neck. Stand up straight, with a straight back, and eyes facing forward. Execute the exercise by slowly bending forward while keeping your back straight, head up, and eyes looking straight out in front of you. Lower yourself down until your back is about parallel with the floor. Do not pause at the bottom of the exercise, immediately start raising to the start position. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips & Advice:

It's extremely important to keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Technique is more important than weight with this one. Stretch out your hamstrings on the way down, and contract on the way up. Always keep your eyes facing out in front of you, if you look at the floor your back with arch.
