Barbell Good Morning
Barbell Good Morning is a multi-joint hip hinge centered on the hamstrings. The movement is a hip hinge: push your hips back with a long, neutral spine, then drive them forward to stand — no rounding through the lower back. Your glutes and back assist throughout, and the loaded stretch at long muscle length makes it a strong hypertrophy choice.
