Start and end positions for Good Morning
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1Begin with a bar on a rack at shoulder height. Rack the bar across the rear of your shoulders as you would a power squat, not on top of your shoulders. Keep your back tight, shoulder blades pinched together, and your knees slightly bent. Step back from the rack.
- 2Begin by bending at the hips, moving them back as you bend over to near parallel. Keep your back arched and your cervical spine in proper alignment.
- 3Reverse the motion by extending through the hips with your glutes and hamstrings. Continue until you have returned to the starting position.
