Thanks but I didn't see anything called Good Mornings on there. I have no idea what the heck they look like or if Good Morning is just a slang term for something else. All I know is that it works the back.

You put the bar on your back, like the start of a back squat. Then you bend foward at the hips and take your torso to parallel with the ground, then back up. I personally don't like the exercise but thats a basic technique to doing it.

How to do:

1. Stand upright with a barbell on your shoulders.
Your feet should be shoulder width apart and
your hands wider to grip the balance the weight.

2. Your knees can be slightly bent and your back
should be arched slightly.

3. Inhale, hold your breath and bend forward at
the hips.

4. When your upper body is horizontal, reverse
your direction and exhale at the top of the
movement.

5. When you are at advanced stage in doing this
exercise you may perform it straight legged.

Thanks bros, sounds like I will need to practice that one before adding ANY weight.

I also do not like this exercise risk of injury. Use the bar weight only then progress after. Works lower back and hammies but there are much better and safer exercises than good mornings.
