Good Mornings (Hamstrings)

What it does?

This exercise will increase strength through your glutes, hamstrings and lower back muscles.

What you need?

Barbell or Olympic Bar

How do you do it?

- Hold the bar behind your neck so that is sits on your shoulders
- Stand tall with a slight bend in the knees
- With a firm grip on the bar, bend forward from the hips making sure your back remains flat
- Bend down to about 90 degrees if you can
- Return to the start position and repeat for desired number of repetitions
- Do 3 sets

Key Points

- Practice the movement without a bar to start with
- If your back starts to bow, reduce the weight on the bar
- Avoid jerking movements (watch the video for the tempo you should adopt)
