In this edition of JL Holdsworth's Friday Technique Videos, JL demonstrates the good morning. He discusses how to program it in your cycle to optimally strengthen the posterior chain for squat and deadlift carryover.
Holdsworth offers these fail-safe good morning rules:
1. Use as a strength builder, not as strength tester.
2. Sets of 5 are good, low rep ME is not.
3. Keep a slight bend in the knees and hinge with the hips.
4. If you can't squat 2X your BW, do not do heavy good mornings.
5. Always use safety pins. Set the pins no lower than a hands length above your belly button.
