Stiff Leg Barbell Good Morning

Barbell Lower Back

The Stiff Leg Barbell Good Morning is a strength movement that targets your lower back. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Stiff Leg Barbell Good Morning

  1. Place the barbell across your upper traps with feet hip-width apart and knees nearly straight.
  2. Brace your core and hinge at the hips, lowering your torso until it approaches parallel to the floor.
  3. Keep a neutral spine throughout — any rounding under load is a cue to stop.
  4. Drive your hips forward to return upright; use a light load until the pattern is solid.
