How much weight for Good Mornings ?
- Thread starter Rocket
- Start date
How many reps are you doing . The important thing with these is FORM. You cannot slack or you will probably injure yourself. keep a tight arch and do sets of 10 with a weight that you can handle. You be the judge. I just did a 300 max today. 225 for reps though
Don't worry about everyone else just lift in your zone and youll be alright. Later

365?
365 on good mornings? hes nutso for doing that in my humble opinion. good mornings are not a heavy exercise. risking the hell out of exploding your back going heavy on those. I doubt 365 had any form at all....

Well I can deadlift 455 for sets of 5 easy but can't think about 365 on good mornings.
Congrats.
My back ain't bad though.

I've seen your pic before, your back is pretty awesome.
I just have an abnormally strong lower back, ie, 8 weeks from the first time I deadlifted I pulled a 500lb single. At one point my good morning were stronger than my squat.
I posted a pic of myself in this board in a thread called "backing up my mouth", if you do a search you should be able to find it.

I just started doing good mournings and i start with about 100 and finish off with about 120 all three for 10 reps. These defintaley are a good lower back exercise.

I was doing 10 reps for 165 ummmmm maybe i should bump it up
I just can't see doing 300 plus for good mornings tho that's something i'd like to see
I deadlifted 495 i have a very abnormally strong back and i could never picture 300 plus good mornings as possible, nor have i witness goodmornings in my gym heavier than i do i mostly see nothing lower than 115.
I do them standing up if that's anything, do you do them sitting down or something

The guy I used to train with that does over 6 plates for gm's showed me a way to do them, with a certain arch in your back, that takes the stress off the spine and puts it on the surrounding muscles, makes it easier to go heavy.
I haven't done them for 5 months, but did them this week, after deadlifting 4 1/2 plates for sets of 5, and still managed sets of 5 on the gm's on 305lbs. Dissto, whose also a member of this board, was spotting me.
