This variation of the classic Good Morning uses a hanging barbell to reduce pressure at the bottom of the movement. FitnessTracker users will find it both challenging and joint-friendly when done with proper form.
Instructions
- Set up a barbell suspended from chains or straps at about stomach height.
- Step underneath and rest the bar across the back of your shoulders (not on your neck).
- Stand with knees slightly bent and brace your core.
- Begin the movement by pushing your hips backward and lowering your torso toward horizontal, keeping your spine neutral.
- Engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to standing. Let the bar settle back at its starting height before repeating.
