Smith Machine Good Morning Off Pins
The good morning started from the bottom: the Smith bar rests on low pins, and each rep lifts it from a dead stop.
How to do it
Setup
Pins set at the bottom of your hinge, bar on them; hinge under it, bar on the upper back.
Steps
- Brace before the bar leaves the pins.
- Hips forward until you stand straight under the bar.
- Hinge back down until the bar settles on the pins.
Common mistakes
Pins set below a flat-back hinge: raise them. Bouncing the bar off the pins: a full stop every rep. Squatting it up with the knees: they stay soft and still.
Breathing
Big breath before each rep, exhale at the top.
