Hells No. I'm not an advanced lifter like the guy in the video.

;D

Yes I do them for that hernia I always wanted.....
-
My question about the exercise had nothing to do with weight or the smallness of the guy, just if you do this combo?
-
:D
-
the next phase is to strap 2 45's to your head
-
I have never done them. They look like they could be very effective if done with absolute strict form for building the lower back though. The squat portion seems like it would help with going past failure. I'll stick to deads/regular squats though.
-
Can't see the pic on my phone...what's a "goodmorning squat"?
-
Whats wrong with deadlift and regular squats! Seems like some people will never lost their faith in finding the magic exercise which will make them grow... ::)
-
he does that crap for 5yrs religiously like the way he does in that video... that dude will be hunchback by mid40's... f*ck that workout! he stupid
-
oh, one more post and I have 400 :D
-
No, I do good-evening curls.
-
I see nothing but future problems with that.
-
I do good-mornings, but I don't go into that squat..never seen that b4....GM's are a great low back developer/strengthener...they'll def help the squat...
-
that exercise should be reserved for women only, and done with light weight can be somewhat effective i suppose...
-
id rather do hyper extensions with a 25 lb plate
-
Stiff legged deadlifts for teh win.
-
Hyper extentions with weight. That exercise is straight up goofy. You could do either exercise for a year and most likely wouldn't notice a difference in muscle development. People who stretch their imagination for the "cutting edge" exercises, are probably the type to eat 3x a day and wonder why their "miracle routine" doesn't work? ::)
Deadlifts, squats, front squats...and oh yeah, that silly little thing called....DIET.
-
good mornings are probably the best accessory exercise you can do to improve your squat and dead. A FINE exercise for the hamstrings/glutes as well.. not to mention the brutal stretch that you won't get with other hamstring exercises.
As for the good morning squat, not sure what the use is but I'm sure the exercise isn't as dumb as some think.
-
Oh, and Deicide sucks cock.
-
I've done them.......unintentional ly.... :-\
-
I have not heard of good morning squats up untill now.
-

This guy does them

I agree with the first part of this.
Good mornings will help you improve both your squats and deads (specially if like me you prefer do to it stiff legged).
The thing is I never have to much time during the week to do them, my lower back beeing under constant tension from both squats and SLDL.
A classic "do as I say don't do as I do".
But I really don't see the point of adding a squat to the movement.
It's like super-setting two compounds which is not the way I'd do it but I'm pretty sure that out there some people super-set compound movements and feel it's great.
I don't.

Agreed...I run into the same situation with the lower back being exposed to a lot of work, however, I have found that doing GM's during the leg w/o is the best time to do them...I have been doing the following for a leg w/o....BB squats, leg press, Good mornings, extnsions........I do hyperxtensions during my back w/o
-
Good mornings are the single most important movement you can do in buiding core strength.In our gym we have had 9 guys pull over 720 and we dont ever train the deadlift off the floor.They are perfectly safe,the only reason anyone gets injured from doing them is they have weak abs.
-
Never seen the combo before, but the traditional good morning seems like a pretty effective exercise.

Makes sense. Question is: While doing GM, do you feel most of the stress on your hams (and glutes maybe) or your lower back? I'll do a few sets of hyperextensions every time I'll do some ab workout, which is almost every day. I feel the tension on the lower back implied by hyperextensions is different from the one you get from squats and DL (but I don't add weight I have to say).
-
You feel it in all three areas.They work the posterior chain all the way from the back of the knee to the middle of your back.If you do them with straighter legs its hams,if you do them with the legs more bent,its glutes and lower back.

Sounds Logical. I should have thought of that. Thks.
-
I take a good morning squat every morning :)

agreed...i use a bent knee approach
-
very effective exercise and a GREAT warmup before squatting..or if you're looking at knocking out two exercises in one if you're cramped for time...again they are suited perfectly.

right now I'm searching youtube for behind the neck bench pressing vids.........
and when I find some I'm gonna be HUUUUGE !

from this thread, I'm thinking about adding it in to my hamstrings workout. but, finding room for it is hard. I only do stiff dead lifts, lying leg curls and seated leg curls. what exercise sould i replace with Good mornings??
I do fronts every other week for quads

susbtitute for stiff legs.
-
This is an old time exercise. It works really great to build lots of muscle on the lower back.
I used to do reps with 225.
-
That movement is more of a functional strength exercise.
It is taking the weight from a disadvantaged position (the load is way in front of your hips)
and then digging your hips under to achieve a stronger better position to lift the weight.
A great exercise for wrestling
it does look like an idiot could easily wreck their back with these though
-
i do them once a week on back day. the heavier you go the better it feels, well, at least up to a point.
