Creating a strong
lower back muscle, which can often be the weakest link of the body, should be
one of your top priorities in bodybuilding training . A strong lower back will
help to
prevent injury by allowing you to squat, press and deadlift more
effectively
Deadlifts, both
stiff-legged and regular, are probably the best way to develop a strong
lower back. Reverse hypers are also very effective. Remember: As with
all low-back exercises, be sure to warm up thoroughly and work up in
weight gradually.
-
Place the barbell
across your upper traps (as in squatting) and keep your feet
shoulder-width apart and pointing forward when doing the reverse
hypers workout.
-
With your knees
nearly locked, lean forward at the waist in a slow and controlled
manner until you form a 90-degree angle.
-
Keep your head up
and in line with your back as you rise up. Concentrate; think
low-back muscles as you contract the erectors.
-
Return to the
fully upright position.
