Technique

How to perform Hanging Bar Good Morning

  1. Configure a compatible load-rated barbell suspension-strap system, or the documented rated-chain alternative, on the power rack according to its installation requirements.
  2. Set the bar support height so you can begin in the bottom of a controlled good morning, with your knees slightly bent.
  3. Step beneath the supported bar and position it across the rear of your shoulders with a secure grip and braced torso.
  4. Extend your hips to lift the bar clear of the straps or chains and stand without leaning backward.
  5. Hinge at your hips to lower the bar back into the support while maintaining your trunk position.
  6. Let the bar settle completely, reset your brace and repeat from the supported bottom position.
