The Hanging Bar Good Morning primarily works the hamstrings, with the abdominals, glutes and lower back supporting the movement. It is a powerlifting movement performed with barbell.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Begin with a bar on a rack at about the same height as your stomach. Suspend the bar using chains or suspension straps.
Bend over underneath the bar and rack the bar across the rear of your shoulders as you would a power squat, not on top of your traps. At the proper height, you should be near parallel to the floor when bent over. Keep your back tight, shoulder blades pinched together, and your knees slightly bent. Keep your back arched and your cervical spine in proper alignment.
Begin the motion by extending through the hips with your glutes and hamstrings, and you are standing with the weight.
Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position, where it is supported by the chains.

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same barbell setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Hanging Bar Good Morning sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
