why do i feel these in my hamstrings and not in my lower back? also i cant go to parralel i can barely go down at all

Metallibanger · 01-02-2008, 07:59 PM

If you have trouble with this exercise, avoid it. Substitute hyperextensions, these are easy and safer

Scarface30 · 01-02-2008, 08:14 PM

good mornings are a glute/ham dominant exercise so that is where you should be feeling them more so than your lower back. if you're having trouble going all the way down bend your knees a tad bit, and stretch more - sounds like you might need to.

danny81 · 01-02-2008, 08:25 PM

lo yah definetly need to stretch more i cant touch my toes lol.

Witchblade · 01-03-2008, 11:56 AM

You're probably very inflexible then. Stretch it.

fUnc17 · 01-03-2008, 02:23 PM

If you can't touch your toes you have no business doing good mornings

danny81 · 01-03-2008, 05:43 PM

really? i can touch my sihns lol.

Witchblade · 01-03-2008, 05:54 PM

You are EXTREMELY inflexible then.

Metallibanger · 01-03-2008, 05:58 PM

Check out your form. You have to bend over at a 90º angle while keeping your back slightly arched. Don't keep your legs 100% straight.

danny81 · 01-03-2008, 07:26 PM

oo alright back is slightly arched and knees slightly bent. thnks. and yah i am extremy inflexible. i never really stretced unless i was really sore

**IainDaniel** · 01-03-2008, 07:34 PM

You aren't flexible and you want to wrestle.... let alone fight MMA?

danny81 · 01-03-2008, 07:45 PM

flexibility has nothing to do with it. only thing i suck at is kicking. i can only do leg kicks lol

Witchblade · 01-03-2008, 08:02 PM

Flexbility has everything to do with it. Muscles have an optimum level of flexiblity at which they perform best, any deviation will hinder performance. Your muscles won't be able to contract optimally and you will be less explosive, less mobile, and less strong. Also, you'll be more likely to get injured and you won't recover as fast.

Try stiff-leg deadlifts on a block

because doing them on the floor is just not good enough.

Metallibanger · 01-03-2008, 09:35 PM

No, it's not. Better on a block

**P-funk** · 01-03-2008, 09:37 PM
