How to do it

  1. 01

    Using a 41 inch band, stand on one end, spreading your feet a small amount. Bend at the hips to loop the end of the band behind your neck. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Keeping your legs straight, extend through the hips to come to a near vertical position.

  3. 03

    Ensure that you do not round your back as you go down back to the starting position.

In the app

Band Good Morning appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
