The Amazing Stickie is a stickler for good form. She knows that the good morning exercise is very similar to a deadlift, but because of the way the weight is carried it can actually help improve deadlift form. To do good mornings, Stickie uses a weighted bar. If no weighted bar is available, a broomstick is a useful tool.
Stickie begins standing in good posture with her feet about shoulder width apart. She holds the bar across her back slightly below the top of her shoulders. Then she hinges forward at the hips and straightens back up. The bar helps her to keep her upper spine straight, which keeps her lower back from having to do too much work.
Sets of ten are good.
