How to do the PVC Good-Morning
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the PVC pipe horizontally across your upper back, resting it on your trapezius or rear deltoid muscles, not the neck. Keep your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core and keep your back straight. Look straight ahead.
Push your hips back and slightly bend your knees as you lower your torso, maintaining a flat back. You should feel tension in your hamstrings.
Lower your torso until it's parallel with the floor, or as low as your flexibility allows without rounding your back.
Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to reverse the movement, raising your torso back to the starting position.
Make sure to move through the hips while keeping the PVC pipe in a fixed position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
