Good Morning

Strengthen your posterior chain with this classic barbell hinge.

FitnessTracker recommends the Good Morning for intermediate lifters looking to build posterior chain strength and hinge mechanics. It’s a challenging yet rewarding lift.

Instructions

  1. Rack the barbell across your upper back and step back with knees slightly bent.
  2. Hinge at the hips to bend forward, keeping your spine straight and chest lifted.
  3. Lower until your torso is nearly parallel to the ground.
  4. Reverse the movement by contracting your glutes and hamstrings to return upright.
