Goodmorning's.

What will work my hams and glutes more when i do lifts and goodmornings, a straight leg or a slight bend? i need one variation of good mornings to use on my leg day, and another to use on my low back day. I do RDL's on my leg day. What variations of the goodmorning should i use? (one for back, one for hams)

Hey insano.What part of Arizona are you from?
For low back, I have found that bottom-position good mornings work best for me.Either starting the bar from the pins of a safety rack or by hanging a set of chains at the desired botom position height.Chain-suspended good mornings are awesome.I've also found that close stance good mornings seem to hit my low back more.Seated good mornings work the lumbars pretty well too.
For hamstrings, regular good mornings with a wide stance work pretty good.Really concentrate on pushing your glutes backward and get a good stretch in the hams.

you wanna work ham, glutes, and quads, lower back all at once do heavy deadlifts and squats. Also for ham's i have found that HEAVY straigh leg deads are the best if done right. Man the next day after that i can hardly pick something up off the floor.
