There are two exercises that I think should be avoided when training.
Good Mornings and Lat Pulldowns behind the neck.
I consider both of these exercises to be high risk and thier benefits are far outweighed by the chance of injury.
Good Mornings:
I know that when I was growing up there were plenty of pictures of how this move should be done, although I can’t say I’ve seen these moves done in quite some time.
I wish that somebody would go find every every website, training manual and poster with this exercise and cross it out with a thick black pen.
Here’s the way they say to increase your strength with good mornings (the training manuals and websites). First only use the bar. Then, as it becomes easier, add 20 lbs. on each side. Eventually, as your strength increases, you can get up to 225 lbs or more by increasing the weight gradually.That’s a lot of weight. Then, one day, your back will go POP! Forward you will go, with the 225 lbs still on the bar. You will be lucky not to break your neck, but you will create more damage than you wish.
As with any exercise, people will continue to push themselves to new limits. But sometimes exercises just don’t produce the results worth the inherent risks associated them. Good morning exercises are one of these. There are many other options for compound movements that do the same thing but with much less of a risk.
So skip the good mornings and try some dead-lifts or stiff-legged dead-lifts (please remember to keep your legs slightly bent on both those exercises). You won’t be missing out on anything by skipping the good mornings except for possibly weeks of recovery at the least.
Lat Pull-downs Behind the Neck:
No ancedote to go with this one, but have a good think about it. Eventually you’ll be doing some heavy weight, in a very unnatural position. This is a recipe for injury.
This movement rotates your shoulder and puts a lot of pressure on the rotator cuff. Believe me when I say that you do not want to damage this, as it can remain a weak point for years, if not for life.
It’s much more natural and safe to do the same movement to the front. Either way your lats are still getting worked. But doing this excercise at the front takes pressure off the shoulders which isn’t the muscle group you are trying work.
The same advice goes for pull-ups. They should be done to the front as well. If you do pull-downs, try doing it to the front. Don’t even think about behind the neck as they won’t do any more for you except cause you a very painful injury and possibly give you an excuse not to do any more pull-downs of any type.
This is not to knock those who have advocated either of these exercises in the past, rather it is like anything that is ongoing in the fact that it is now shown to be an incorrect and indeed dangerous practice, and trainers need to be educated to unsafe movements.
