LOWER BACK

Stiff-Legged Barbell Good Morning

BeginnerBarbell

This good morning variation keeps the knees nearly locked so the hamstrings and lower back take the brunt of the work. The barbell adds load and helps you keep a tall, braced posture as you hinge. Straight legs limit how far you can fold, but they drive more tension into the hamstrings.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a barbell in a rack just below shoulder height and grip it outside shoulder-width.

  2. 2

    Pull your shoulder blades together, brace your core and dip under the bar to rest it on the base of your neck.

  3. 3

    Stand up to unrack, step back and plant your feet shoulder-width apart.

  4. 4

    Keeping your heels down and knees nearly straight, push your hips back to lower the bar.

  5. 5

    Maintain a flat spine as your torso descends toward roughly forty-five degrees.

  6. 6

    Drive your hips forward to return to standing.
