Good Mornings felt really strong, loaded pushups felt really difficult

Using 1 to 3 timing leaves me with not enough reserve or desire to do drop sets or Rest/Pause

A tweak to the Good Mornings. From the low hike posture I straighten my legs prior to hinging up - puts a bit more emphasis on the hams and glute major. I find once I get to about 1/2 bodyweight I cannot maintain straight legs all the way down, but I can straighten them just before ascending.
