I do my good mornings with the barbell on my upper back, like a squat. Both techniques work great. My hammies are destroyed with a few sets of this.

I used to do those, but as a lower back exercise. I never felt it in my legs. Does that mean that my legs were so much stronger than my back that the weight I was using was light for my legs for heavy for my back?

Either that, or you failed to shift a portion of the load to your glutes and hamstrings. Try sticking your butt out a bit more and focus on the movement that occurs at the bottom of the hips, and not in the lower back.  |

Tomorrow is my first weight lifting leg day in about a year. |

I tried doing those with dumbells once. But I guess it didn't worked up right cus my back hurt more than my legs.
I used 2 7.4kg DBs. Maybe I used too much weight or something, however I don't think I'll try those enytime soon.

you might not have been using proper form.. pay more attention to your back staying neutral. i used 115lbs (ish) last time i did these and just stopped hurting after 3 days. one of the things i was focusing on in during these was how the iliopsoas is antagonistic to the hamstrings , and just figured "just think the opposite movement"

if you're just starting chances are your back is very weak. another thing that might be going on is that you're more slumped than you think... try to straighten your back up more, and remember to keep your knees out of the locked position. and how much weight are you using?
