Hanging Bar Good Morning

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

1. Set up a barbell suspended from chains or straps at about stomach height.
2. Step underneath and rest the bar across the back of your shoulders (not on your neck).
3. Stand with knees slightly bent and brace your core.
4. Begin the movement by pushing your hips backward and lowering your torso toward horizontal, keeping your spine neutral.
5. Engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to standing. Let the bar settle back at its starting height before repeating.
