Cable Good Morning: how to do it and form tips

A good morning variation with a low-cable attachment behind you that provides consistent tension throughout the hip hinge, making it more beginner-friendly than the barbell version.

Form tips

  1. Attach a rope or strap to a low pulley and stand facing away from the machine.
  2. Hinge forward at the hip while the cable resists your movement — feel it in your hamstrings and glutes.
  3. The cable's pulling angle also challenges your anti-rotation stability, engaging the core more than a barbell good morning.
