I'm not sure how to compare glute activation at the bottom position with glute activation at the good morning position, and I suspect it would differ greatly between individuals (both due to their anthropometry and relative hamstring / glute contribution). Whatever the case, I think there is a possibility that, either through glute weakness or failure to engage the glutes properly, one could struggle to extend or even maintain the hip angle out of the bottom. | |

I find it very difficult to believe that the relatively small increase in torque from the hamstrings when the knees are partially extended could offset the large increases in hip extension torque that come from shifting the hips backwards. | |

GM activation increased at knee flexion angles of more than 60° | |

You definitely can't reduce the load on the glutes in a squat by shifting into a good morning instead. | |
