How to: Barbell Good Morning
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell across your shoulders.
- Keeping your core tight, hinge at the hips to lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the ground.
- Keep a slight bend in the knees and ensure your back remains straight.
- Return to the starting position by pushing your hips forward.
Common Mistakes
- Bending the knees too much during the movement.
- Not keeping the back straight.
- Lifting too heavy too soon.
Modifications

- Use a lightweight barbell to practice form before adding weight.
