Strength exercise
Barbell Good Morning
How to do it
- Stand with feet hip-width apart and a barbell resting across the upper back, gripping the bar wider than shoulder-width.
- Unlock the knees slightly, keeping a soft, fixed bend throughout the movement.
- Brace the core and lift the chest before starting the hinge.
- Hinge forward at the hips, pushing the hips back and lowering the torso while feeling a stretch through the biceps femoris.
- Inhale during the descent and exhale while driving the hips forward to return upright.
- Avoid rounding the lower back or letting the bar drift away from the body during the hinge.
