The Barbell Seated Good Morning exercise is a variation of the traditional Good Morning exercise, where the individual sits upright on a bench while performing the movement with a barbell.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Seated Good Morning exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by setting up a bench that is sturdy and secure. Place a barbell on the floor in front of the bench.
2. Sit down on the bench with your feet planted firmly on the ground and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Position the barbell across your upper back, just below your neck, and grip the barbell with both hands using an overhand grip.
4. Slowly lift the barbell off the floor and press it up towards the ceiling, keeping your core engaged and your back straight.
5. Lower your torso forward by hinging at the hips, allowing the barbell to drop towards the floor while keeping your back flat and your chest up.
6. Lower your torso as far as you can comfortably go while maintaining proper form, then slowly return to the starting position by driving through your hips and straightening your back.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps, making sure to maintain control and proper form throughout the exercise.
The Barbell Seated Good Morning exercise targets the lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and core muscles, helping to improve overall strength and stability in the posterior chain. It is important to start with a lighter weight and focus on form before increasing the weight to avoid injury.
