The staggered-stance good morning builds strength in the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings while also improving balance and flexibility. The staggered stances provides assistance with the slightly heavier weight.
Instructions
Standing in a staggered stance, place a barbell across your upper back, resting it on your shoulders. This is your starting position.
Bend forward at the hips and lower your torso until you feel a stretch in the front hamstring. Keep the arch in your lower back. Pause, return to starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Keep the lower back slightly arched for safety.
Do not round your back to bend down. The movement should take place at the hips.
