Hamstring training progression series with Bram Swinnen | Part 1 - The Good Morning

Описание: The Good Morning is a foundational hip-hinge movement ideal for:

✔️ Strengthening the hamstrings in a lengthened position: The eccentric, stretch-loaded nature of the good morning promotes adaptations that may increase fascicle length, improving the muscle’s ability to tolerate high forces and potentially reducing injury risk (Vigotsky 2015)

✔️ Building posterior chain strength and resilience: The movement effectively activates the hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erectors, creating a strong foundation for more advanced patterns (McAllister 2014, Jaeggi 2024)

✔️ Preparing the neuromuscular system ideal for building technical control, intermuscular coordination and hip-hinge strength for more complex, unilateral movements (Llurda-Almuzara 2021).

This makes the good morning not just a strength builder, but also a valuable tool in injury prevention strategies.

And this is just the first step. In the next phases of the series, we’ll explore progressions that challenge balance and neuromuscular control, and integrate pelvic control strategies. Essential for improving running mechanics and overall performance.

Strong, resilient hamstrings aren’t built with one exercise: they’re built through intelligent, progressive loading.
