New Good Morning PR

[brianmincher]

Jay - Dungeon it is!!!

B-fold the truth, I deadlift sumo, and I do my pin GM's with as wide a stance as my rack will allow, just the same stance as my deadlifts.

Cubanito - find out what is wrong with your back first, get that healthy, then slowly work back up to doing triples on the GM's. I do them seated, standing, from the pins, wide stance, narrow stance, as many different ways as I can think of, and I have never had a back problem from them. As a matter of fact, the more I train my back the better it feels. I have almost no pain these days, despite having terrible back pain when I was younger.

thanks BRAIN I never do them in different positions but that's gonna change I already posted whats up with my back on my thread. And I'll be back to GM's in probably a month or so. Hopefully.

I think good mornings from a power rack have become my new favorite Max Effort exercise.

There are so many ways you can do them. Varying the start height by as much 2" makes a dramatic difference.

I did an 805 from 47.5 but have yet to make 705 at 44. (this is with my squat stance).

I also discovered the joy and intense pain of good mornings for reps with bands. Now that is intense. With a normal good morning, you only work right off the bottom until your leverage takes over. Throw a green band on there and you are pushing all the way through.

I did sets of 10 the other day with a green back and i got this wonderful deep soreness in my spinal erectors the next day.

Great stuff!

I took a week off of Squat/Deadlift training last week, but back at it this week, and new PR again in the pin good morning!!!

Hit 370 for 3 reps and hit 390 for one, with the bar set where my shoulders would be at the bottom of my deadlift. It felt awesome. After taking a week off from Squat/deads, I was itching to get back to it. As some of you may know, I am not a full meet competitor . . . yet, but I really missed to squat/dead work.
