Bowing the torso forward with a barbell on the upper back works the hamstrings, glutes and spinal erectors through a controlled hip hinge.

The good morning is a barbell hip-hinge exercise building the hamstring and erector spinae strength HYROX athletes need for running and sled pulls.

Definition and limits

The good morning is a loaded hip-hinge exercise, commonly with a bar supported on the upper back. Hip extensors contribute while trunk muscles control posture. Knee bend, bar position, range, load and individual anatomy alter the task. A neutral spine is a practical cue, not one identical spinal angle for everyone.
