Rounded-Back Good Nornings

[fmytreberg]

Just curious about your thoughts on round-back good mornings. Basically what I’m wondering is whether this should be considered a pre-hab type exercise with light weights and high reps. Or whether it is OK to work up to heavy sets of 5-ish reps.

It seems that becoming strong with a round back is important for deadlifting and thus I want to start going heavy on these, but don’t want to set myself up for serious injury.

In case it matters, I’m 33 years old and have been lifting for 10+ years (mostly for highland games). Recently I’ve begun powerlifting. My best RAW competition lifts are 450 squat, 350 bench, 520 dead at 242#.

Thanks.
