Dumbbell Good Morning: how to do it and form tips

A hip hinge exercise with dumbbells resting across the upper back, training the hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erectors through the same pattern as a barbell good morning.

Form tips

  1. Position the dumbbells horizontally across your traps like a barbell — they should not dig into your neck.
  2. Hinge at the hip with a soft bend in the knees until your torso approaches parallel to the floor.
  3. Never round your lower back — if you cannot maintain a neutral spine, reduce your range of motion.
