The Good Morning<\/strong> is a controversial back exercise. Some people will say that it’s a dangerous move that should be avoided. But those who don’t like it are usually those people who don’t understand how to do it properly.<\/p>\n

When done properly the good morning is a great move that can help strengthen the entire posterior chain (i.e. the back of the body)<\/em> by building up the spinal erectors, lower back, hips, glutes, and hamstrings.<\/p>\n

I always find it ironic when people say things like:
\n“Don’t Do Good Mornings… You’ll Hurt Your Lower Back!”<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

When in fact the OPPOSITE Is True!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
\nIf you never directly train your lower back and strengthen it, you are leaving your body vulnerable with a Huge Weak Link<\/u>. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link. <\/p>\n

So if never train your back and then find yourself in a real world situation where you have to lift or move something heavy, your lower back will be the first area to get injured because it’s been neglected and naturally weak from never being trained.\n<\/td>\n

\n\"Weakest-Link\"
\n
Don’t let your lower back be the weak link!<\/font><\/center><\/i>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The key to doing the Good Morning<\/strong> (or any exercise for that matter) is to start off light and build up the weights gradually over time with progressive overload. You have to master perfect form with light weights before attempting to lift heavier. <\/p>\n

The most important technique tip when doing Good Mornings<\/strong> is to maintain an arch in your lower back<\/u> at all times. When you round your lower back with any exercise that places your back in a vulnerable position for injury. But when you keep your back arched it is in its strongest position.<\/p>\n
