OHH! No wonder my weightlifting coach always made us do good mornings. I never had the back issues that so many other lifters had. Huh. He was a good coach. Was also my anatomy teacher
@@G3RM3X617 what? I’ve seen no evidence of that published anywhere. Anecdotal evidence just means the people around you aren’t doing the movement correctly.
Remember people, when doing lower back exercises, tilt that pelvis backwards and slightly tense your abdominal muscles. It is SO easy to get lowerback injuries because it is not supported by the abdominal muscles
Dude squat uni I know you get props every video you post but you’re changing my entire life with all of this stuff. One of the greatest in the fitness shorts community undoubtedly.
Same thing Bruce Lee broke his back on it’s a great exercise but I personally think it puts a lot of pressure on the lumbar. Rather do weighted back extensions
I have started adding these in my routine and I have one tip: Go WAY EASIER than you'd think on these. Leave like 5-6 reps in the tank and start with only 1-2 sets. I did 3 sets with light weight at 3-4 reps in reserve and I didn't recover for 5 days
Good mornings are frowned upon by a lot of people, they can seriously hurt your back if you dont do it properly. Safest exercise to strengthen lower back that's worked for me is doing hyperextensions holding a 45lb or whatever size plate, using a hyperextension bench.
Do it carefully though people, start with small range on motion and with no weight even if you are fit, not saying this as an experts, but as someone with imbalances and weakness in the lower back who tried it.
It makes more sense to do an RDL instead. It's the exact same movement, but you hold the barbell in your hands rather than on your back, which is infinitely more comfortable and safe.
It is same as the position of Ruku In the Five times SALAT of Muslims done at least minimum 17 times a day. Peace and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)
Bent over rows almost to 90 degrees, work like hell. Reps help too. Basic deadlifts. A lot f things. If you’re pulling something towards you it’s likely using your lower back too.
I have a few herniated disks and I really hate good mornings, no matter how much I concentrate and create stiffness on my core it always feels sketchy :(
Or you can just use a roman chair! Good mornings have so many different ways people can do them wrong and/or hurt themselves. Yes a roman chair, the chair helps to support your body. So instead of being distracted with everything else, it's easier to just focus on your lower back. Especially for a beginner! This exercise is great for someone that has already built some core strength and knows how to preform movements like this the correct way, without hurting themselves. Especially with weight! Without that knowledge or experience doing this exercise only takes a small mistake to do some serious damage, and this exercise there is no support or protection from ignorance. Great exercise experience for experienced lifters! ⁰
I feel like body weight back extensions are so much simpler, yet just as effective, if not more so here. It seems to me, especially if it came to newbies, that “good mornings” could EASILY cause many injuries/pain, even with just the bar alone. Much like dead lifts, there’s so much room for error and injury if done slightly incorrect at all. Body weight back extensions are much more forgiving and newbie-friendly as a light to moderate exercise. With proper form to many other exercises, isolated lower back training should really just be supplemental and taken more lightly compared to other muscle groups, since the lower back muscles are very much used and worked on in common weight lifting forms and exercises anyway. Basically, much like the abs, lower back muscles can and should be worked on with simply your body weight if worked on isolated.
I’m not one of those religious people or (bots) that you see in the comments, ik it’s not a (religious video),and im not forcing anything on you, im just a follower of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and i want to tell you that the anxiety you’ve been feeling, the depression, the endless hopelessness that you think won’t end, you’ve been searching and searching but you still don’t have that peace, i just want you to know that JESUS will give you that peace that surpasses all understanding if you just give your life to him and let HIS WILL be done in your life, GOD BLESS you all IN JESUS NAME🔥🔥🔥
Right I was looking for it too It's essentially the same movement, but much safer to load way up and overload If you try to add weight to a good morning, you could get into trouble if you find you can't handle the weight - with an RDL, you'd just drop the bar
I'm here to warn people. Pls dont do this. This is a catastrophy waiting to happen. This is a major risk of hurting your spine and increases tremendous pressure on your discs that hold your spine. As someone with back pain avoid this at all costs if you care about your spine and nerves that go thru it.
Barbell squats and deadlifts are fine, your posterior chain will be several orders of magnitudes stronger than the average man/woman after a year of training both those lifts.
@@fire_playz3348 the involvement of the glutes in squats depends a lot on anatomy, and deadlifts tax the whole posterior chain so much that it would not make sense to have them as your only glute exercise. Hip thrusts are king for glutes.
back extensions i find far superior to good mornings. they provide far more stability allowing for better form and the ability to push to true failure. because whos pushing good mornigs to true failure
Check out the seated Goodmorning from knees over toes guy, it isn’t as intimidating as standing goodmorning and it’s safer since you can adjust the elevation on the bench to your own mobility/strength
Hey, Aron, a lot of people have a weak low back because you teach them to always lift with a straight spine, lifting in akward positions and in some situations with a flexed spine makes your spine way tougher than when only lifting with straight spines!
This is a very dumb take. You clearly dont know what you are talking about and you shouldnt leave comments like that. What if somebody hurts themselves because of your comment? Absolutely stupid and egotistical bro
If you are tall and have long legs, save yourself some hurt and DONT go that low without bending your knees more and actually putting more pressure on your heels. When you take the barbell out of your center line you will put more pressure on your spine and increase the possibility of tweaking something. Also, if you're going to use as low weights as in this demonstration it would be wiser to use loaded hyperextensions.
If you want to break your back follow this video. A perfect technique were the bar in a straight line with your foot. I had to put the bar a bit lower on my back to achieve depth and inline with my foot. This guy teaches you to let the bar over the foot, your low back will be on fire if you did that
Yea I’d def recommend against this exercise for the average gym goer with back issues. Back extensions are way safer imo and once ur comfortable w body weight u can just hold a plate and overload like that.
Working my lower back scares me because of how bad it can get at times. Yoga has helped loosen it up quite a bit, so I can bend forward painlessly now, but these exercises scare me.
Deadlift is a better exersize. They include same movements but deadlift can easily be bailed but this is hard to bail in and can cause falling towards the ground face down. Or we can do good morning with support and weight infront of us
Straight leg dead lifts get a stool a bit off the floor start with just the bar and touch your toes with the bar as you come back up flex and tighten the hamstring-glutes-low back as you increase weight you will go beyond the toes hypertension and pull back the same. Start with very lightweight
I still think low bar wide stance good mornings are better and generally safer. Although if you suck so bad you are going to fall forward then having a high bar would make it really easy to dump over head versus the low bar. Also, I take back the wide stance for this you can do a fairly normal or even close stance and be effective. It you really want high bar then you should just be doing front squats. They will strengthen the back very well including the lower back as the weight will be on the opposite side of the spine giving more room for flexion.. I still haven't seen people who truly understand the low bar wide stance. People just don't get it. You can literally pause at the bottom with your max weight. You have that much control and break power on the way down and you don't feel the weight press because it is on the hips. It is truly a better method.
Christmas tree action prevents you from visiting snap city. My go to are pancake cable gm and hypertensions. I wish i had a reverse hyper machine at my gym but no luck.
if you have a weak lower back, this could easily damage you especially being a more experienced workout. typically you should be starting with workouts that involve little to no weight

I need to loosen the hams first because good morning could be good night.
Fkin underrated comment
GMs will help with that my friend, best of luck
I’m laughing in bed atm that shit was funny
Loaded mobility training is underrated too
😂😂😂
Every exercise is a lower back exercise if you do it wrong enough 😁
So true😭🤣

I almost spit my food
Calf raises?
@@dosomestuff1949 if your doing them hunched forward then I guess
Proper posture: good morning

OHH! No wonder my weightlifting coach always made us do good mornings. I never had the back issues that so many other lifters had. Huh. He was a good coach. Was also my anatomy teacher
This workout has also been known to have a high injury ratio. Tons of people get hurt doing these.
@@G3RM3X617not being stupid is the key. You shouldnt max out good mornings smh
Sounds kinda goated to be teaching those in combination ngl
@@G3RM3X617 what? I’ve seen no evidence of that published anywhere. Anecdotal evidence just means the people around you aren’t doing the movement correctly.
What’s a good program for a beginner to incorporate this in his routine?
Remember people, when doing lower back exercises, tilt that pelvis backwards and slightly tense your abdominal muscles. It is SO easy to get lowerback injuries because it is not supported by the abdominal muscles
Pls share an example
Dang man I wish I could schedule something with ya man ... I can tell your passionate about how you train people,that's the kind of pt or dpt I need
Fr, the Physical Therapists that I’ve seen aren’t that interested in helping with weight training relating movements
Another private exercise that I'm gonna do alone at home
Lmao why you don’t want people staring at your dumpy?
Ok dio
Nah embraces the sus exercises and don’t skip leg day.
Do it at gym most people dont do it and only real ones know. Might get some beginners asking u to teach them how to do them.
The sus exercises are usually the best ones
I do this everyday in prayers. A really nice movement for the lower back. 😊
How many sets snd reps?
It took me a long time to learn how to hinge properly without putting pressure on the back. That is a fantastic explanation with the foam roller.
I had a weak back......a week back😬
😅
Bars
Yoooo this help my lower back with no weight help fix my lower back pain thank youuuuuu

I did tried it this morning….all I can say is THANK YOUUUUU!!!! 😁Adding this to my daily morning and nightly routine! ❤️❤️
I used to have a terrible lower back and just doing deadlifts fixed it
These get my abs popping like nothing else. Anyone looking for a killer core workout, this is it.
Even crazier on the abs is the oldtimey strongman version where you put the bar or weights up overhead and bend over with it above your head.
@MyWatermelonz Sounds too crazy to be true. Idk how it could be done with weights.
Someone once said, "if you do any exercise with a bad enough form, it'll become a lower back exercise."
For most people I'd rather have them do 45° extensions on a fixed machine. Good mornings are highly technical. Even a SLDL would be better.
He always the best training tips
I've added these to my warm up routine and some morning mobility routines, good stuff.
Can anyone please comment how dareful and polite was the gentleman to match his socks with the dumbells? That's metaphysical skill.
Those are plates, bb.

Thank you so much!!!! I needed this!!!!

Very helpful and informed piece of advice to utilize foam roller to ensure a person becomes familiar with their hinge position.
Been looking for this video. Thanks so much
Just started training a few weeks ago and definitely pulled something in my lower back after some deep squats, definitely needed to know this
That foam roller trick is pretty neat for teaching a hip hinge 👌
It is same as the position of Ruku In the Five times SALAT of Muslims done at least minimum 17 times a day.

Thanks for making such high quality content.

Good mornings are great, but nothing will bulletproof your back life getting good and strong at deadlifting
I have a few herniated disks and I really hate good mornings, no matter how much I concentrate and create stiffness on my core it always feels sketchy :(
Yeah I wouldn't do them with herniated disks, that's probably pretty dangerous
Seated good mornings are great
Best thing I ever learned was you don’t have to do any workout that makes your bones and ligaments feel sketchy
Do lumbar híper extensions. Good mornings aren’t very safe imo.
I had my spine fused with a titanium rod and struggle with squats and things like these
A few years back they said this is the worst practise u can do
Bruce Lee destroyed his back with this one
That foam roller trick is golden. I can feel my lower back lighting up without any weight
This man is doing great things. Thank you, squat university man
Very dangerous exercise there are other options, many people have been hurt
Not at all stop chatting shit 🤦♂️👍

I find a low bar squat position is much more comfortable and prevents the bar from rolling forward.
Just do RDLs, its also very good for lower back
I've been looking for thus comment. Plus RDLs give trap and forearm training
Right
I was looking for it too
It's essentially the same movement, but much safer to load way up and overload
If you try to add weight to a good morning, you could get into trouble if you find you can't handle the weight - with an RDL, you'd just drop the bar

This looks very similar to romanian deadlift tbh
Jeffrenson curls are much better option. My physiotherapist told me to do them and it have helped a lot to strengthen my lower back
Use dumbbells. It’s safer and will hit the same muscles, you can also get a bit more stretch.
Please talk about WEAK GLUTES!

I actually do this, except without weights. I mostly did it as a result prep to get in shape, but it really works the back of the legs and lower back.
Can confirm. RDLs only gave me a strong lower back. But after switching to Smith good mornings, my back feels like iron. It's nuts.
These actually cause my back pain. :/ that’s why I say these out in every sport I competed in
East asian people have the best lower back. Their greeting is always the good morning posture
I ❤️ the good morning exercise 💪
Ouch, That one would pull my back every time. I can’t do those
Started doing this movement with no weight to stretch tight hamstrings and build hinge form.
You can also do RDL if you want cause it’s the same movement just loading the weight in different way
Could also do bent over rows, deadlifts and RDLs. All of which engage the entire posterior chain

Well, good night. Have a nice dream 😊
I started doing machine back extensions to target the lower back. It has a similar motion to this exercise also.
We have many of these positions in Salah, Alhamdulillah. (All praise to God Almighty)
That hinge properly thing is a good trick I wish I knew a while back
This has motivated me
Yea I’d def recommend against this exercise for the average gym goer with back issues. Back extensions are way safer imo and once ur comfortable w body weight u can just hold a plate and overload like that.
