Billy Mimnaugh 635 Cambered Bar CSRBGM

Here, Bill does a 635 Chain-suspended Round-back Good Morning with a cambered bar (aka "Westside Bar"). Notice that he doesn't have a belt on. Back then, several guys at South Side followed a STRICT Westside template. This is still the case. The belt generally only goes on to squat.

This footage is probably from about 2002. Billy was around 320 at the time, I think.

The only reason why he is bending his spine is because he has tight hamstrings. it is dangerous because you are isolating your lower back before your hamstings as a good morning is targeted for your hamstrings.

Wrong. He's bending his spine because it's a round-back good morning.

they cant be good for your spine, correct me of im wrong

[OlDirtyRhino]

You either want to have a strong back, or you don't. Your choice.

no mate i aint insultin or anythin, but ive always been told to never round your back if you are supprtin weight, and 635 is a lot of weight. i was asking you to explain why it isnt dangerous

[OlDirtyRhino]

Oh ok. Well, I never claimed it wasn't dangerous. But it's like Louie said: if what we did to get strong was safe, we wouldn't do it.

Rounding the upper back is safe. Rounding the lower back is not. Looks like his lower back is pretty flat.
