Barbell Pin Good Morning
Description
The barbell pin good morning is a good morning variation where the bar starts on pins set at the bottom of the hinge range. Each rep begins from a complete dead stop, eliminating the stretch reflex and bounce. It builds raw concentric strength out of the hole in the hinge pattern.
