Barbell good mornings as a substitute for loaded arch ups

Coach,

 

Wold Barbell good mornings be a suitable substitute for loaded arch ups, a a "one man" solution for the FLS/SE 7, 8 and 9 iM?

 

If so, what would be the adequate loading, since the leverage is different on the Barbell good morning?

I'm interested to hear the answer to this, as well.

Coach Sommer

No.

Coach,

 

Could you please educate me on the reason why the barbell good morning won't work as a substitute?

 

I ask you this because to the untrained eye both movements appear seem to be similar.

 

Thanks

Coach Sommer

The loads, angles of force and tension on the lower back and hamstrings are completely different.

It is also very easy to perform good mornings incorrectly. By comparison it is much easier to perform weighted archups correctly.

If you need a one man solution to arch ups, you can do them by looping your legs through parallel bars. Standing on the side, legs go over the first bar and anchor under the second bar. Maybe put something soft under your upper thighs if needed, and you're good to go!

Or straps and a table. There are many places to do the arch ups.

I prefer a picnic table with the bench seat attached to the table :)

Elevated bench with feet through stall bars.
