Until my shoulder gets better I'm not able to do a number of the more common (and more helpful) exercises -- no bench presses or overhead presses or dips for me.
So, in the meantime I've been looking at some exercises that I haven't done before, such as Good Mornings and Romanian Deadlifts. It seems these lifts fly in the face of everything my mother taught me about not using my back to lift.
Query: are these lifts safe to do...? I understand that some people are doing them, and with fairly heavy weights. I just worry about hurting myself by doing something stupid (one of my specialties...).
Is there a trick to doing them without blowing out my back?
