Lower back strengthening exercises

[darshan]

Good sticky. I'm doing about 11 out of the 23 exercises on the back after every workout, and have BIG improvements in my back, less sore.

I think the deadlifts and squats have significantly helped my back posture too.

To the other guy, maybe your using too much weights on the deadlifts? They are pretty light, or ur gym has the reallly heavy plates.

Stick your ass out too like you where doing a squat and bend your legs. Its quite a hard exercise to describe but i hope that helps

oh man.. i try to explain the form for deadlifts and bent over rows in a similar way to my brother.. he has the absolute worst form for bent over barbell rows.. he just doesnt get it, i explain to him every way i know of.. keep your shoulders back, bend over at the hips NOT your stomach, keep your head facing forward .. he just CANT do it.. and its so aggrivating.. i hate working out with noobs, especially when i am not 100% sure about my form either
