Barbell Seated Good Morning

The good morning seated astride a bench, bar on the back; the fold comes from the hips alone.

How to do it

Setup

Seated astride a bench, feet wide and flat, bar on the upper back.

Steps

Fold forward from the hips with a flat back.
Go as low as the back stays flat.
Drive the chest back up with the hips.

Common mistakes

Rounding to reach lower: depth ends where the back stops flat. Bar rolling up the neck: set it on the upper back. Bouncing off the bottom: a slow turn from down to up.

Breathing

Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
