Pancake Good Mornings

From the 2015 Junior Worlds Training Hall …

Sasha Nievas (58kg) and Joana Palacios (63kg) from Argentina doing Seated Good Mornings in a Pancake Stretch Position.

Great exercise that combines strength with flexibility training.

Note how the back stays perfectly flat at all times (for the ladies, not so much for the guys in the video 😀 )

Update: Lydia Valentin also tried them!

Update: Chen Xiaoting doing them in the 2016 Asian championships training hall.

Update: Here is a good progression you can use if you can’t yet get into the position.
