Need GM Help

[sk*]

I've been doing it the last 2-3weeks trying to get the form right. Just been using the bar or maybe with a 10plate on each side.

The movement doesn't seem all that natural to me so I think I am doing something wrong.

By doing good mornings I mostly try to isolate my lower back to help with deadlifts, so i've been keeping my knees straight. Is this right? I notice when I do it my butt goes all the way back, and seems somewhat unnatural. Today I tried it with bent knees and noticed the movement got a lot easier but was targetting my glutes more.

Any suggestions?

Also, how far apart should my feet be to isolate the lower back more?

Thanks.

hey man,

deadlift is not 100% lower back. It is also glute and hams. The reason why GMs work so good to bring up your dead is they work exactly that. I do mine with bent legs and feel it in my glute, hams and lower back. Make sure you are sitting BACK.

Well my legs are stronger than my lower back, and when I do deads I notice my legs hold the weight very easilly but my back could get stronger ...

Thanks. I might continue doing it with bent knees afterall though, since it was a much more natural movement than when my legs were straight.
