Brent, I would NOT recommend doing heavy sets of SSB Good Mornings. I injured my lower back this summer doing exactly that. The bar places a lot of stress on your lower back in that movement and the heavy weight can (and did) cause an injury once form breaks down. Your choice, but I urge you to at least consider the risks (serious injury) vs. the rewards (marginal impact on your DL performance). There are other, safer lower back builders such as strict straight-bar good mornings, stiff-leg DLs and the DL itself.
Good looking out Phil. I don't think I'll be doing these again. The guy I was doing them with just wanted to try them because he never did them before either. We both agreed that they didn't feel quite right. Cambered bar good mornings felt a lot better but straight bar good mornings are still my favorite.
cambered bar good mornings kick ass!
