It calls for 4 sets of 5 ramped up to a top set of 5. I think, IW, that it depends on the person, increments, etc..

But for some it could fall into the too much volume too soon category. But the way you do it, if I understand you you are "warming up" (with acclimations) to a set of 5, which theoretically means you are lifting a good bit heavier than a ramping up. Heavier, plus loading may be too much for some also.

If it comes to the back not being "strong" enough then I'd venture to guess that is is a question of erector endurance rather than absolute strength. That is what I found to be the case for me, also, when it comes to erector strength. Far from going straight to goodmornings I would recommend doing isometric back extensions which will build up endurance in the back safely. And of course some regular extensions too. Goodmornings, imo, are assuming that you already have pretty good strength in the back and are looking to get even stronger and most importantly that you are able to, and know how to, to them correctly, because one bad goomoring is all you need to make this entire discussion academic.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
