How much weight for Good Mornings ?

[needsize]

Actually he has squated over 800lbs in competition.
FYI my form on the goodmornings is right on, my back is parallel to the floor on every rep, I just have a very strong lower back, ie, deadlift 455lbs for sets of 5

Well I can deadlift 455 for sets of 5 easy but can't think about 365 on good mornings.

Congrats.

My back ain't bad though.

I've seen your pic before, your back is pretty awesome.
I just have an abnormally strong lower back, ie, 8 weeks from the first time I deadlifted I pulled a 500lb single. At one point my good morning were stronger than my squat.
I posted a pic of myself in this board in a thread called "backing up my mouth", if you do a search you should be able to find it.

I just started doing good mournings and i start with about 100 and finish off with about 120 all three for 10 reps. These defintaley are a good lower back exercise.

Just started doing them...
Not bad for someone 8 wks out of knee surgery....

who cares what weight anyone uses.......just use what you can..... if its too light bump it up.

and yes its a good heavy exercise as well

I was doing 10 reps for 165 ummmmm maybe i should bump it up

I just can't see doing 300 plus for good mornings tho that's something i'd like to see

I deadlifted 495 i have a very abnormally strong back and i could never picture 300 plus good mornings as possible, nor have i witness goodmornings in my gym heavier than i do i mostly see nothing lower than 115.

I do them standing up if that's anything, do you do them sitting down or something

The guy I used to train with that does over 6 plates for gm's showed me a way to do them, with a certain arch in your back, that takes the stress off the spine and puts it on the surrounding muscles, makes it easier to go heavy.
I haven't done them for 5 months, but did them this week, after deadlifting 4 1/2 plates for sets of 5, and still managed sets of 5 on the gm's on 305lbs. Dissto, whose also a member of this board, was spotting me.
