Looks good to me, nice arch in your back without any rounding. How's the hip feeling?

looks OK, i find that the lower i keep the bar on my back the better i can recruit the hams and glutes, mainly because the bar does not go too far over my hips cauing the low back to do just about all the work. It is easy to keep everything tight with light weight, GM's probably are more helpful as they get a tad heavier as you have to work to stay in good form, king of like taking a big squat, you have to work to stay tight. Just my opinion thier at the end.

I always go til my back is parallel with the floor on Good Mornings, is that wrong?

thanks...i worked up to 225 the other day. I'll do more vids w/higher weight. I will try and keep the bar lower.

hip is FINALLY getting better. I can do heavy rack pulls, I just pulled some heavy deads this wk. and it didn't bother hardly at all, but for some reason it bothers me when i squat, but i can do leg press if i keep it at or above parallel. So i'm hitting it pretty hard again, hopefully i don't mess it up!! I'm staying away from squats though, just doing leg press. Makes no sense to me, but i will keep doing what works.
I never did go farther then the physical therapist. He told me just about a month or so ago he thought i could ease back into things. So here i am. I'll post some vids next wk.
I'm very happy to be back!! If all goes well, there is a small lifting competition that is held at our state fair every yr i'd like to compete at. Thats my goal for this summer

I hear ya josh, My micro tear in my hamstring\glute didnt allow me to do regular squats cause they bothered me , but hack squats were no problem...just one of those things.

Injuries suck
