The Safety Bar Good Morning is a strength exercise targeting the posterior chain, particularly the lower back and glutes. It offers excellent posterior activation while reducing strain on the shoulders due to the safety bar's cushioned design and positioning.

How to do it

  1. Position the safety bar across your upper back and secure it.
  2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keeping a slight bend in your knees.
  3. Hinge at the hips, lowering your torso until it's nearly parallel to the floor.
  4. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting position.
  5. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
