How to Perform the Dumbbell Good Morning (Complete Guide)
Strengthen your lower back, hamstrings, and glutes with this effective hinge movement that emphasizes posterior chain development.
Perfect Dumbbell Good Morning Technique
The Dumbbell Good Morning is a powerful movement for building strength in the posterior chain. Proper technique ensures safety while targeting the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back for overall strength and stability.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
1. Setup Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells at shoulder height or just behind your neck with a neutral grip.
2. Hinge Movement: Push hips back while keeping a slight bend in the knees and maintaining a neutral spine.
3. Lowering Phase: Lower your torso towards the ground, keeping the dumbbells close to your body and maintaining a flat back.
4. Engage Core: Activate your core to stabilize the movement, focusing on controlling the descent.
5. Return to Standing: Push through your heels to return to the starting position, fully extending your hips and standing tall.6. Breathing: Exhale as you hinge forward and inhale as you return to standing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Rounding the lower back during the descent.
2. Using too much knee bend, turning the exercise into a squat.
3. Allowing the dumbbells to drift away from the body.
4. Not hinging at the hips, resulting in limited range of motion.
5. Jerking the weight up instead of a smooth, controlled motion.
