A trainer breaks down the good morning exercise: stack your rib cage over your pelvis, keep your core tight, and move from the hips like a deadlift. Proper alignment transfers strength to your other lifts.
So tips on the good morning. What I'm really trying to accomplish with this is to stack the rib cage on top of the pelvis and then move everything as one as I get into that hip extension. So I don't want to be in a thoracic extended position. I want to be rib cage stacked on top of pelvis, keeping everything nice and tight, then moving into hip extension. That is more akin to how I'm going to deadlift and definitely how I'm going to squat in that position as well with the upper body and the ribs being stacked on top.
