good mornings
Cheerful sunrise greetings
Good mornings is an exercise where you stand with a barbell across your shoulders and bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, then return upright.
The movement resembles a formal bow of greeting—hence the name.
It targets the hamstrings and lower back: I do good mornings twice a week to strengthen my posterior chain.
