Good Mornings Weights

[Deciever]

I did heavy good mornings for the first time today, and finished with 200 x 3. My max squat is onl y 275 though. I was just wondering to see where everyone else's good mornings were in relation to their squat, to see if im similar to everyone else, or above or below the average.

 

[ZZuluZ]

Squat: ~230
Good mornings: I'm sure I could do 230+

Odd.

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

I suck at squatting.

I can do arched back goodmornings with more than my squat weight.

When I do regular bent-over traight back GM's to parallel, I can do around 80-90 lbs less than my squat I think.

 

[Deciever]

hmm so in a few weeks once i get used to them i should be close to 50 lbs less than my max squat.

GM are such an awkward exercises to me.. i make sure i have my pastor watch me to make sure im doin it right.. it just feels so weird

Its funny you ask this cause i was going to ask the same in relatin to what every one pulls. Tonight Jimmie Dean and I did good mornigs with the weigh suspended by chains. They were as low as the start of the deadlift so they were below parallel. I did 500 for 3 reps. It felt awesome. The reason why i was gonna ask is cause i havent really tried to pull a max yet at all. But when my best was around 550 in the begging and a year off from any deadlift activity, i coulds good moringig 315 for a few reps but my form would break. Tonight i was tight been doing abs and reverse hypers religously. I did a 500 lb stiff legged deadl ift of 3 inch blocks. My point was to knwo what every one pulls in relation to their good mornign as well as squats?

Mysquat is 765 (EASY) I am over 800 for sure.

Good mornign PR tonight 500 for 3 reps re setting each rep in the chains.

Deadlift dont know???

 

[Deciever]

very impressive pljay. Yeah, i would also like to know how it relates to the deadlift. Im pulling close to 350 (nothing big), and like i said, good mornings with 200 x 3. Stifflegs are like 240 x 6(not off of blocks though). I would think that there would have to be some type of average to the weight of your good morning, to the weight of your squat and deadlift.

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

My arched back GM is like 100 lbs less than my deadlift max.

Regular GM's are prolly about halkf of my deadlift.


I think it really depends on where your strength/weakneses are.

My goodmornings, box squat and deads are basically the same, 500 lbs, I quess my regular squat with eguipment will be more.

 

[IrishPower]

this is a tough one to call.

i should point out some important points.

if you are doing your good mornings with MUCH more than you can squat, this movement is NOT your weak point in squat and i wouldnt use it to try and increase my squat.

I will repeat the same for the deadlift.

You should find exercises that you are weak on. Everyone is going to get a different carryover from different things. Finding the weak link is always the key.

Interestingly enough. I think my suspended, narrow leg good mornings at 42.5 inches off the ground are roughly equivalent to my deadlift.

IrishPower, if I'm not mistaken your deadlift is 750ish. Does this mean that you can also GM that much. That would be incredible!

BTW to get back to the original question I think you've gotta make a distinction between suited squats and raw squats when comparing to GMs. Seeing that GMs is a raw movement (at least for me it is) you'll have to compare them with raw squats.
My GM is 550lb and my raw squat (wraps only) is 627lb.
