Just did 300 for 7 and after a full year of spamming SLDLs/RDLs - my glutes and hammies are getting consistently sore for the first time in a long time from relatively low volume. Low back is getting worked about the same. Like you said those fellas are just dyels lol

[@AlexLeonidas]

Impressive Good Morning, you're close to my 3 plate goal! Awesome that you're getting an efficient posterior chain stimulus and it didn't take long to notice. These dyels man I swear 😂

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

Nothing gets my hamstrings sore like good mornings. And I get the best glute activation

[@Semifrost]

Good mornings are a blessing. Years ago I snapped my shit up doing way too heavy deadlift as a novice and couldn't do any hip hinges without hurting my back. Saw my man Alex recommending them and I incorporated them to my workouts. At first I felt like they tweaked my back sometimes, but after consistant effort and honing in the technique I really started to enjoy the movement. And I think good mornings strengthened my lower back so much that I don't really tweak it anymore. So thanks for that.

[@AlexLeonidas]

Fantastic! I too snapped my back up years ago and Good Mornings allowed me to come back stronger than ever. Building the spinal erectors, refining all my hip hinges, and getting more out of less weight! Glad they've benefitted you too bro.

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

I competed in drug free powerlifting back in 1987-1991 and did a 685 meet deadlift. I never did good mornings but would do stiff legged deadlifts off blocks (deficit) and they made my lats sore. Now Good morning variations are my preferred hip hinge as they wreck my hamstrings like the others never did.

[@AlexLeonidas]

Awesome that you came to this realization as an elite lifter!

[@cooperhewes]

Good mornings are just overall an amazing exercise. Much better stimulus to fatigue ratio than RDLs, fixed my fucked-up lower back, has carryover to grinding a back squat and blew up my deadlift without any deadlifting.

[@AlexLeonidas]

[@thebrotha4545]

I've always had issues activating the glutes. Good mornings always get my glutes pumped and ironically, helped with my low back issue I got during a work incident.

[@FabledGentleman]

yeah, i have no idea why someone would call GM's a "none glute exercise". When you see someone perform the exercise properly, it's clear that the glutes get stretched to the maximum, meaning they are immensely targeted.

[@lolfirepoisonftl]

I think you said in your latest Q&A how the fitness scene has changed since 2017 and boy has it really gotten bad with IG and Tik Tok influencers spreading garbage advice. Good Mornings when done properly are awesome for the glutes and ofcourse your glutes will grow if you add like 100 lbs to your Good Morning. Makes me really appreciate that we have lifters like you and Natural Hypertrophy still high quality content in 2022 and beyond!

[@AlexLeonidas]

Man it went in a direction that I never even expected, but thank God the natural community has also evolved or else we'd be doomed. Good Mornings are indeed GOATED, anyone who adds 100lbs will notice SERIOUS glute gains 💯

[@othonielmolina]

I literally only feel my glutes during good mornings 😂😂😂😂😂 This is a GOATED exercise. I personally only do 2 sets of Romanian deadlifts , and to prevent fatigue, I then perform 2 sets of good mornings and end with another 2 sets of bar loaded hyper extensions. Being some kind of fatigue- drop sets for the hip hinges. And that is basically my posterior chain workout, and I have gotten really cool results.

[@AlexLeonidas]

That's a complete posterior chain workout right there, digging the 2 sets setup. No doubt you'd feel the glutes a lot, you're putting in honest work and not just demonstrating with an empty bar for clicks 😂😂

Good mornings helps me stay strong in an athletic position, especially when an opponent attempts to snap my head down to the mat in grappling. One time my opponent did a snap down on me, the force was so strong (dude was twice my weight) I snapped my left hamstring. Since adding good mornings, with progressive overload, I’m much stronger in the athletic stance and much more confident grappling again. I used to worry about my injury every time I sparred, which resulted in me getting smashed because of my lack of confidence in some positions. Since I’m stronger I can spar freely again. Strength training is King for athletes, also Good Mornings saves lives! Awesome video on one of my favorite exercises Alex

[@drvenhrd46]

Jesus this guy built his good AM’s like crazy… insane carryover to the main lifts..he literally took the specificity equation out, when he mentioned he hasn’t done the movement for a long time…

[@usayeed727]

Even if the spinal erectors were biased in being overloaded- why’s that a bad thing? Strong spinal erectors are essential for a healthy back and lifting longevity anyway. Also, in my experience, the Good Morning teaches you to better brace your core and balance in other lifts. It’s a good exercise to practise.

[@howjackedcaniget]

With my new bodybuilding routine, a hip hinge/a DL-like is exactly what I need. I remembered this lift and came here. I need to learn how to do this exercise well. With my meniscus tear, I definitely can't do RDLs. Though I might wait a bit before I do this one too. I don't wanna hurt my knee further. I've got a small couple of rehab-esque exercise for lower body.

[@Marko-ij4vy]

I actually prefer good mornings over RDLs. Same movement pattern but good mornings have imo not only better stimulus/fatigue ratio(as Alex would say "getting more out of less weight") but they also carryover to both squat and deadlift. Now RDLs might have better carryover to deadlift but I find good mornings more well rounded and they carry over to both squat and deadlift.

[@demoncore5342]

I'd have to stand on a box to get the same ROM with my monkey arms for once. If nothing else, it's more work in low bar rack.

[@Damianpaulpod]

Why is everyone so afraid of working their low back? I love good mornings because I can get get crazy hamstring, glute and lower back stimulus in one movement. Also, as someone has had lower back pain and weakness in the last I can say that the good morning helped fix my back pain.

[@magnus263]

How can i start this move? How to progress?

I have a weak point on my hamstrings. So I decided to forget Block pull and spam RDL's during my legs day with a trap bar. Honestly that's the best form of RDL I ever did, feel so good on lower back, recovery quicker,... Nevertheless for the moment Im training in a gym which don't have trap bar. So I'm RDL twice a week with the conventional bar. I've noticed that I struggle to feel my hamstrings on the exercice, and on my second session of the week I feel my lower back tired. So I might consider to introduce the good morning on my second leg day of the week. Thx for the golden content !

[@lilymcnabb6621]

I do a modified good morning sitting on a bench with padded bar across shoulder blades. I hinge to the bench with flat back. Works hamstrings, glutes and inner thighs.

Are there any specific terms you don’t understand so I can try and define them for you?

[@publicrestroom5075]

The cool thing is that even though the spinal erectors usually fail before the glutes and hamstrings on this lift, we know that isometrics do not cause much muscle damage and arent as fatiguing. However there IS lengthening and shortening of the glutes and hamstrings, so there is more hypertrophy for them.

[@blingeranvideos6568]

I want to start this comment by saying I in fact agree 100% with everything disproving the nonsense people say about goodmornings. I actually want to address what you said about non-deadstop hip-hinges "kicking the asses" of deadstop hip hinges. Namely that as an individual with shorter arms, you benefit disproportionately from non-deadstop hip hinges and will also have a way larger recovery cost than normal, even considering the high recovery cost of the standard conventional deadlift. For me personally, I have long limbs and a shorter torso. For me, the difference in recovery cost is much smaller between the two, and I in fact benefit a lot more from making more of my squat work paused because variations that aren't paused or tempo squats tend to beat up my knees if I go for them more than once a week. Just felt like it was worth mentioning that leverages can play a role in what people find affects their recovery cost.

I would understand that one might have troubles feeling hamstrings, but it's impossible doing good mornings without targeting 🍑 .

[@GabrielMartinsFitness]

"But X muscle will get fatigued first!" only if you're weak in that muscle bro

[@AlexLeonidas]

That too, there's muscular weakness to consider! The failure rate isn't equal across individuals.

[@dozermendoza]

Think about this. The increases in strength were not biased toward "isometric" strength increase of the spinal erector. So where did the strength come from? Think even more about this. Let's say you did use a heavy weight for the good morning. You step in and fail at 5 reps. Notice that the failure was not due to spinal erector, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD ROUND YOUR BACK AND CAVE OVER at failure. Meaning the spinal erector can isometrically hold more weight than you can do the Good Morning with. What was the limiting factor? How come you couldn't lift the weight, even though your spinal erector maintained isometric contraction of spine without bend? Other musculature must have been the reason you couldn't perform the lift. WHAT MUSCULATURE WAS IT? What musculature of the posterior chain failed, if it wasn't the spinal erector? EXACTLY!!

Hey alex, love the conjugate content- one q I have is how often do I need to rotate exercises? I’ve been doing good morning for months lol

[@jordansimerly9540]

Nuanced answers because you don’t have to change all the exercises. I’ve seen conjugate changing the main exercise every week on the elitefts website, however the accessory’s changed more like every 3 weeks. The thing about conjugate is it’s best done (as any program really) considering the individual. So doing the shifting variations every week to help prevent injury, and sticking with the same accessory’s for a few weeks to target a specific weak point. Sooo yeah, I would look into bringing up weak-points if you wanna get really good with programming for conjugate. Lastly, conjugate can be done different ways. Why I said is NOT gospel. I personally haven’t changed the big first compound every week as I don’t have as much equipment and it’s just a lot of work to program like that

[@jordansimerly9540]

Shorter answer, I change some exercises OR rep ranges every 3 weeks. Again no gospel, but generally it’s good to switch up every 3 weeks.

[@erkka5800]

Dave Tate says the later they come in the workout the less often you rotate them, ME variation changes every week, or 3 week waves if you are beginner/intermediate. Supplemental exercise changes according to your specific weakpoint so 1to3 weeks. IIRC acceccory exercises can be changed every 3-8 weeks weeks, finishing exercises like abs, lowerback, facepulls can be changed every 1-3 months.
