Stand with the feet slightly apart and the bar resting on the trapezius or a little lower on the posterior deltoid.
- Inhale and bend the torso forward, keeping the back straight. the axis of rotation should pass through the coxofemoral joints.
- Return to the initial position and exhale.
To make the exercise easier, bend slightly at the knees.
This movement, which works the gluteus maximus and the spinal group, is especially noteworthy for the action on the hamstrings. Besides knee flexion, the main function is to tip the pelvis back (posterior rotation) and straighten the torso when the pelvis is locked to the torso through isometric contraction of the abdominal core and the lumbosacral muscle group.
To better feel the work of the hamstring, dont work with heavy weights. In the negative phase, the good morning is exellent for stetching the back of the thighs. Worked regularly, it helps prevent injury when executing a heavy squat.
