Barbell Pad

Is there such a thing as low bar good mornings?

I have a bad back which has caused my right hip to get stiff while running. At the advice of the Knees Over Toes Guy, I started incorporating the seated good morning. I hate to say that an exercise has been life altering, but this one has. After two years of trying everything the PT and various orthos told me, the internet guy gave me the tool that fixed it.

So….. with that said, I need to find a pad that makes it easier for me to continue to do it. And, my form may be fricking awful.

Will be trying this soon.

Try a foam pipe insulator from Lowes, sorta grippy on a cotton shirt

I use pull throughs to do the same kind of warm up; it's extremely easy to maintain back position doing pull throughs. It is very, very, easy to maintain proper back position on a pull through, even with the whole stack pinned. A lot of folks do good mornings while they are fatigued, it seems. Doesn't seem like a great idea, but that's their issue.

I don't know about anyone else, but non-max weight exercises like the good morning are a "conditioning" exercise, so lower weight to condition your body to stretch that stuff out is the key. I'm not loading on a good morning of any sort (it's about stretching the hammies, not about getting stronger), that's for the real deal (DL.)

Awesome man and yea it can be a game changer for sure

Btw they have the sting ray which is the front squat version

I need to order them for my kids for sure
