Bodyweight Good Morning

Feel it right

Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

Choosing the load: Too easy? Slow down or pause at the hardest point. Too hard? Use an easier version (knees, incline, band).

Feel it somewhere else? Fix it like this

• Feel it in Lower backBack rounding or lifting with the back. Brace hard, keep the weight close to the legs, push the hips back, and stop lowering when the back starts to round.
• Feel it in Front thighsSquatting instead of hinging. Keep a soft, fixed knee bend and move the hips back, not down.
• Feel it in Forearms / gripGrip fails first. Use straps, chalk or a mixed grip for heavy sets.
• Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
• Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.
