'Zercher Good Morning'

Posted Nov 20, 2023

'A safer and more efficient alternative to the standard good morning (barbell on back) is to do it from the Zercher position. It\'s a front-loaded position where the you hold the barbell in the crook of your elbows.  When doing it this way some of the positives include:  • Same benefits for the posterior chain with more activation in the upper back because of the location of the barbell.  • Easier to maintain a neutral spine. If you round too far over, you\'ll be able to drop the barbell from your elbows without having to raise it over your head the way you might with a traditionally loaded good morning.  • Holding the barbell in front creates a counterbalance making it easier to push the hips back.  • The Zercher position puts a greater focus on total body tension through irradiation. You must remain uncomfortably tight throughout the movement and you\'ll receive even more total body strength and gains.  Next time you do a set of good mornings, give the Zercher position a try. You may prefer it over the traditional way. With the benefits being higher, risk of injury being lower, and technical execution being easier, it\'s a win-win across the board. – Brandon Holder'
