Instructions
90/90 Hamstring
Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.
With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.
Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.
Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
Hanging Bar Good Morning
Begin with a bar on a rack at about the same height as your stomach. Suspend the bar using chains or suspension straps.
Bend over underneath the bar and rack the bar across the rear of your shoulders as you would a power squat, not on top of your traps. At the proper height, you should be near parallel to the floor when bent over. Keep your back tight, shoulder blades pinched together, and your knees slightly bent. Keep your back arched and your cervical spine in proper alignment.
Begin the motion by extending through the hips with your glutes and hamstrings, and you are standing with the weight.
Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position, where it is supported by the chains.
