To perform good mornings, you want to place a barbell on your back in a similar position to you would as a barbell squat. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart or even slightly more narrow. You're going to keep your chest up and back straight. Take a deep breath before beginning the exercise and with soft knees, push your hips back to the wall, keeping your back nice and straight. You should feel a stretch in the back of your legs as you're performing this exercise. Go down as far as you comfortably can, avoiding the lower back rounding at the bottom of the movement. When you're done, rack the weight and complete the movement.
