My question about the exercise had nothing to do with weight or the smallness of the guy, just if you do this combo?

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.

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...

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.

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.
