Barbell Good Morning

Expert Advice

Keep the movement controlled and hinge at the hips, not the waist, to ensure you're targeting the hamstrings and glutes without straining your lower back.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Position the barbell across your upper back, not your neck, and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Keep your knees slightly bent, back straight, and core tight throughout the exercise.
  3. Hinge at the hips to push your buttocks back and lower your torso until it's nearly parallel to the floor.
  4. Pause, then lift your torso back to the starting position by extending your hips.
