HOW TO Seated Good Morning with Dumbbell | Barbell Method

[@elle_aye112]

Great demonstration and explanation. Thank you!

[@BarbellMethod]

Let us know how it goes 💪

[@RazorShalom]

I thought using lower back to pull back up was the correct way. I’m glad I saw this.

[@BarbellMethod]

That would be a good way to hurt your back 😜

[@sidneyaarmstrong]

Same. Since I started pushing into my heels the difference is remarkable.

[@BarbellMethod]

@@sidneyaarmstrong happy to help 🙏 let us know if there's anything else you need.

[@doncorleone3901]

Ditto, thanks for highlighting this point

[@TheRozylass]

Best explanation I've seen! Thanks for the great demonstration and cues.

[@BarbellMethod]

🙏Let us know if you need anything else.

[@AmateurBirdWatcher-mt3de]

This is so helpful

[@BarbellMethod]

Happy to hear 💪

[@abjkl]

I am new to this exercise. Is the seated position for beginners in particular? And how many reps of such an exercise as this? Thanks for any reply (and this helpful video)!

[@BarbellMethod]

@@abjkl performing the movement seated, allows us to isolate the target muscle group. When we're standing, other muscles are involved that may fatigue first, preventing stimulus to the target muscle group. This move is for all levels.
I'd recommend a weight you can manage for 8-12 repititions.

[@abjkl]

@@BarbellMethod Thank you!! Your response was really helpful and explained a lot. Much appreciation.

[@TheBuddyboy69]

Good from video nice cues I also got the ame shoes 😁

[@BarbellMethod]

Great minds think alike! Glad you found the video helpful 💪

[@joshuaehl1481]

Is this going to still give hamstring activation?

[@BarbellMethod]

Yes. Focus on using your glutes/hamstrings by doing them as the video instructs.

[@singhmastr]

Great breackdown. Had no idea about the glutes. How tight is the core during this?

[@BarbellMethod]

To avoid back injuries, we always brace the core when moving external loads.

[@singhmastr]

@@BarbellMethod thank you man. Watched a dozen other videos last night about Seated Good mornings and *nobody* mentioned the cues you did.

[@BarbellMethod]

@@singhmastr happy to be of service 🙏

[@aroundtheworld6093]

Have knee pain since a yr.went for physio.can i start with this seated good morning for core activation

[@BarbellMethod]

If you can perform this movement as described pain free, I would definitely add it to your routine. Without running you through an assessment to see what's causing the pain, I can tell you this; weak feet cause hip instability, hip instability generally causes knee pain when performing movement.

[@aroundtheworld6093]

@@BarbellMethod thank you for your insight🙂

[@trainerorange0632]

I thought you were supposed to pull up with your back, but you are saying drive with legs and glutes?

[@BarbellMethod]

Correct, focus on squeezing your butt & driving your feet into the floor.

[@iSven]

Good

[@BarbellMethod]

Thank you 🙏

[@jonthebeing]

What if you feel hip pain

[@BarbellMethod]

Is it the soft tissue or the joint? When does the pain start? Sometimes our hip flexor may flair up if we're hyper extending our low back because our psoas/quads are tight. Before bowing forward with the weight, squeeze the butt & flex the stomach. This should help.

[@jonthebeing]

@@BarbellMethod joint pain

[@BarbellMethod]

@@jonthebeing is there a previous injury? If not, try doing some banded detraction for the hip joint & when performing the move again, widen the stance to insure we're not causing a hip impingement as we bow forward.

[@CaseStudyC2]

I only feel my inner hips not my glutes ahh

[@BarbellMethod]

Squeeze your butt, think; "I gotta poop!" And clinch those cheeks. 🤣

[@jayjayx5x1]

So that’s why my lower back hurts… wasn’t using my butt….

[@BarbellMethod]
