I'll just use something to hold my legs down, I'm sure I cna find something to do it with.
I guess, instead of lunges maybe I'll throw in some work to improve my posture.

GHR's are great but you need a GHR. They work because there's a metal plate for your feet to press against and a large ROM, something missing on every ghetto contraption I've seen. Stiff legs, good mornings and RDLs work fine.
I think after 6 heavy sets of squats one compound exercise based on a weakness is enough. If you need something else something light like ab work works well.

Maybe I could use a chair/milk crate and put a pillow on it and use the safeties on the power rack to hold my feet lol

What do you think is the most effective out of romanian, stiff legged deadlift, good morning and GHR??
Tonight Jack started PPP. Jack has been at PTC doing full body workouts for a few months. He couldnt bench 40kg x 5 when he started, but he fell in love with the weights and lifts 3 x week now.
He has progressed far enough for him to try PPP.
So tonight was squats and we dont know what his true 1RM is. We decided to do the 130kg program. I sent him on his way, he went over to the wall and sought out the 130kg program.
After his second set, he walked over, dismayed because he had failed. I asked him what weight, and he said he got 130kg x 5 on the first set but only managed 122.5kg x 3 on the second set.
I burst out laughing. He was doing the 180kg program, he assumed that the 130kg program started with 130kg x 5.
We decided he should do the 160kg program. He smoked it.
He actually surprised us all, we didnt realize he had got that strong
Its the quiet ones you need to watch.

Anyone got a link to show me how to perform a good morning properly? Would a zercher good morning be safer/just as good?
Is this an exercise where I'm going to fuck my lower back? LOL

I think Jack may be around 20, he is 6'5" and over 100kg, he looks like Clark Kent, glasses and all lol
Jack had never exercised in his life, an old client bought him down to PTC as Jack had expressed an interest in getting fit. He lives in Frankston.
His Auntie is "F U C K THIS SHIT"

Most people do lower back exercises to strengthen their backs.
Would you ask the same question about a bicep exercise?

I meant if performed wrong.. but I guess that can be said for every exercise lol
Barbell Good-morning
- this is good though I'd keep the knees slightly unlocked.
I like good mornings the most but if stiff legs and RDLs are also good choices. Just pick one!
