Dave Performing Good Mornings and Good Morning Squats

[Jerrythejerboa]

@stupidshinigami Yep that's right, because Bruce lee hurt his back a great posterior chain exercise is completely revoked as safe and effective. You guys sound like people who don't know how to do a good morning or how to train properly.

[EndlersaurusRex]

Finally, someone who does a good morning correctly. Well done.

[StupidShinigami]

Those look awful for you back

[jamstrings100]

@StupidShinigami Yep. Just ask Bruce Lee.

[StupidShinigami]

@jamstrings100 There's no doubt you'll build a big strong back doing that, but come on, you are more than likely going to snap some shit up along the way!

[jamstrings100]

@StupidShinigami That's what I'm saying, Bruce Lee effed up his back doing these. 

[StupidShinigami]

@jamstrings100 Oh sorry, I assumed you were being sarcastic :P

[neoi78]

i'd rather do goodmornings, and then a low-bar stance squat. i wouldnt trust doing a GM to squat BS with heavier weight than what you are using

[adoboandryce]

wow never seen anyone squat morning. it kinda looks like an accidental movement haha. nice GM form though.

[carven2004eca]

That looks like a very dangerous technique. I read that Bruce Lee messed up his back while doing this exercise.

[morry27]

@carven2004eca Technique is spot on, that famous powerlifter Bruce Lee eh ?

[SLITTHROAT13]

@carven2004eca He did but it was due to an imroper warm up. Also Bruce lee was pushing his body to the limit He trainned 6 hours a day man, martial arts,weight training, cardio. The body can handle so much until something goes wrong.

[dardonZ]

@carven2004eca Pretty sure he hurt his back doing Olympic Lifts

[amarone1956]

I alternate between wide and narrow stance. If I do them for my hamstrings I use a narrow stance and only a slight bend in my legs. I'll have to try the good morning squats.

[bdoyle23]

do good morning put stress on your knees?

[jedwards09elmira]

I love good mornings and regardless of how strong you are, 135 is the best weight in my opinion, just up the reps... And I have never seen a squat incorporated into that, I'm a huge fan

[papertigertrap]

isnt that bad for your back though.

[aznflea]

its good for it.

its like saying deep squats are bad for your thighs. in the short term it might hurt but in the long run the strength and muscle produced stabilises the back and makes it stronger.

that is, unless you make a mistake

[paknguns]

i use good mornings for my hams more so than my lower back

[Afrotechmods]

that was an amazing display of balance

[jalee123456789]

is it supposed to give u a sore lower back?? i got a little sore aftewwards

[tylrllstr75]

yeah man...it helps develop lower back and helps with deadlifts

[lococow33]

...have you worked out before? yes, if you train your lower back, it usually gets sore.

[101CavGrunt]

Great form, keep up the training.

[Cramnella]

That is a beautiful thing! I showed my trainer and her comment to me was, "Holy Crap!"

[YuppItzCorey]

what kind of trainer doesn't know about the good morning? maybe you should invest your money elsewhere

[Cramnella]

I was refering to the good morning + the squat.

[maphge]

good mornings are the best exercise to become better in squats.

deadlifts are good,too. but not the same.

it's difficult to explain why there is an important different. the best is to do these exercises and you will see the difference.

[monk3yboy69]

The difference is that a good morning strengthens the lower back specifically which in turn helps when doing squats. It is vital that you have stability and strength in your lower back to perform decent squats.

All about form and technique. It is amazing how many people and trainers never use a good morning, preferring to use deadlifts.

[phirephaxL]

Because deadlifts give you forearm strength also.

[qewr4231]

wouldn't it be better to do reverse hyperextensions? or do hyperextensions on a hyperexxtension bench holding a plate?

[qewr4231]

good mornings are similar in form to romanian deadlifts?

[yousifucv]

when u do the good mornings it looks like a matrix slo-mo :) very cool

[sf49er]

wow

[topformfitness]

Nice form, Dave!
