Good Morning off Pins

Starting with the bar on pins lets you focus on explosive hip drive while limiting forward lean. This variation is ideal for building strength from a dead stop.

Instructions

1. Set a barbell on the safety pins of a power rack at about stomach height.
2. Position yourself under the bar so it rests across your upper back, not your neck.
3. With feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent, brace your core and drive your hips forward to stand tall.
4. Reverse the motion by hinging at the hips and slowly lowering the bar back to the pins.
5. Reset your position and repeat for each rep.
