great lower back and ham exercise. start light to gauge strength and keep your back straight through out the motion. easy lift to blow a disk on if you start to heavy or bend your back from to much weight.

I don't feel them much in my lower back, but they are a great hamstring/glute exercise for me. They are one of the few exercises that are almost always part of my lower body work

Yep, Good mornings are much like a staight leg dead lift but with the weight on your shoulders so it stresses the lower back a little more than strait legs. It is one of those exercises that you can do for back or leg day in my opinion. I don't really do them anymore, I tend to lean tward strait leg deads on leg day.Originally Posted by Al Swearengen

have you tried doing it with your head down? changes it completely...Originally Posted by Jneves
OP, good mornings are a great accessory lift. there are several different ways to do them too:
-conventional
-olympic style
-wide stance
-from chains/pins
-staggered stance
-seatedIf what I see does not amaze me, I am not looking hard enough.

I prefer SLDL's better.
But they're a excellent movement if you're in the market.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

I think it's a neat exercise. At the same time, I don't plan on doing them until I'm very good with squats and deadlifts, and might use back extensions.

I always thought you wanted to do good mornings by keeping your legs straight and attempting to get your upper torso parallel with the ground....

02-20-2008, 04:00 PM #17They aren't 'half' good mornings, they are oly good morning. The explosive concentric portion is used to mimic the 2nd pull of the lifts, so the goal is to maintain an arch in the back and lower the torso to where it would be at the beginning of the 2nd pull (or slightly below).Originally Posted by Al Swearengen
I don't have the flexibility to get to parallel and maintain an arched back with a narrow stance. PL style goodmornings are a different lift - same name, different animal (just like PL vs Oly back squats).Last edited by J.L.C.; 02-20-2008 at 04:03 PM.
