The best thing about this video: Sniffing that fat chick's ass.

One of the best techniques for GM I've ever seen.

good exercise for herniated disk

[funk192]

That's pretty good flexibility there, no rounding of the lower back I see.

awesome gym

My back as been killing me for a while since I stopped doing dead lifts, and after I did squats. Hurt to walk, sit, sleep you name it. I do good mornings now both standing and seated with 150-200lbs for 8 reps 4 sets. My back as never felt better in my life. They hurt at first, but with stretching and good mornings, I am feeling great.

should you be looking up when doing this exercise? my neck really hurts after i tried it for the first time yesterday

[bigbobabc123]

stop when you lose your lumbar curve, pointless strain on the spine.flexiblity is the key to this exercise and maintaining arched back.

Sadly, I gave up on this for a while trying to isolate a training effect for jump training. Oddly, I just got started again, and people are commenting. What a coincidence. However, I'm back on it, and working GM's twice per day 5-7 days a week. Similar increase pattern, and starting from zero weight. Now, up to 5 lbs for 15 reps. Progress will be more aggressive this time.

I agree with your statements. Consistency is critical. More walls get broken down through persistence than fancy programs.

I have had back issues, and this doesn't hurt me at all. That is the form I use, too. Granted, I'm taking major baby steps and using 2.5 lbs. increases, and 1 set of 15 reps.

My routine:

Frequency - 3x a week. At least one day rest between workouts

Sets/reps = 1x 15 reps

Progression - Start with no weight and add 2.5 lbs. per workout.

Technique - Weight on top of shoulders. Stiff legs. Parallel or deeper.

Thus far, up to 44.5 lbs. for 15 reps. Never missed an increase, yet. Easy!

@Polarcupcheck I've had back issues too.

[Polarcupcheck]

@jotenko Stretch and strengthen has worked well for me. If I don't maintain the ability to put my fists to the floor, back problems act up. Not everybody has the same issues, but I think too many people have back problems simply due to not stretching.

[jotenko]

@Polarcupcheck thing is i feel sciatica :| do you?

[Polarcupcheck]

@jotenko I really have no idea what it feels like. I used to have make back go out, and it would get so bad I couldn't walk for about an hour. Hasn't happened in about 3-4 years.

@Polarcupcheck : Great post, buddy! That's the way and my motto "Accurate, Gradual, Persistent!".

You can lower the reps to 10 and use a little bigger weight. Also you can do more then one sets to reach the total volume of 20 or more reps.

All this depends on you - your trainer! You know it better!

Keep going!

a lot better than most of the posted videos on here. great form... honestly leg width is right on point, right around shoulder width.

[usefulenergy]

his leg width is OK. It is shoulder width!

[Sully1111]
