Seated Good Morning Breakdown

Which muscles are actually being used in the movement? If you're keeping your whole back flat then it's not those as isometric =/= movement. Your quads are locked out. Am I pulling through my hamstrings? Am I squeezing my legs together? Apart?

Setup Tips for beginners:
1) Use adjustable bench and set incline to your maximum depth to make sure you don’t lose posture.

2) Elevate your hips above knees. Either using a non-slipping pad on top of bench or blocks below bench. Allows you to get sufficient load if mobility is poor.

Tip for advanced:
-if you can already reach parallel progress mobility further either by raising knees above hips (allows deeper hip flexion without reducing tension) or by straightening out the knee (go to pancake)

The top part of my abs touch (top of ribs) but not my entire core. Time to train 🥲

did you know this doesnt actually train the glutes? youre sitting down and the glutes are unloaded. this exercise was used to rehab the spinal erectors DUE to the glutes being unloaded 👍👍

I can only go down about 35 degrees. Trying to recover from herniated disc/DDD/low back pain.

This shows me how tight I am how do I start out and develop flexibility
