Good mornings rep question...

[JOKER47]

The link below has a link to a mpeg of a goodmorning. It's the one I plan to use as my basis for form. If it's a bad one, please someone let me know.

The main problem with that video is that rather than bending at the legs and recruiting the erectors to do the work, she is using a "hip thrust" type move to initiate the movement. She's rocking. Her hips should be as stationary as possible...the movement focused ABOVE the hips.

Watch her...there comes a point where she is no longer sitting back and she is just bending over..why go that deep?

I also like a wider stance...but then again my gut is SLIGHTLY larger than hers

...and Bfolds is more of a "suspended" GM, with the movement STARTING at the BOTTOM.

Spatts: Please critique mine...it was a ME PR...so it should have a few breakdowns...but your advice is appreciated...

Well, B, I'd LOVE to, but it's very hard to see form. I don't know if you're doing bent over or arched back, I can't see your stance, can't tell if you are arching throughout, can't see foot direction, etc.

...but if you got a PR then you did it right.

I have a hard time arching my back properly...maybe my scolosis. Maybe...

It was just a GM...the only way I know how to do them besides standing and seated....or with bands...

I thought there was supposed to be some amount of "rocking". Ie, push your butt/hips back rather than just bend over. Are you saying she was doing to much thrusting, and should use more of her back? Or not thrust at all?

Thanks,

Too much thrusting.

...if there IS such a thing.

Enough with the Q-Tip jokes...
