Lower Back QUESTION - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

BillKS · 25-05-2006, 04:16 PM

Hi peeps,

I have a quick question on training the lower back. At the moment I just work my lower back muscles as a side effect of squating and performing deadlift. I can't help noticeing all of those lower back machines in the gym though. You know, the ones where you lie face down and extend your back upwards.

Is it a good idea to isolate the lower back muscles in this way or just to leave them to get worked as a part of other compound movements?

Lower back gets hit hard by squats and deads.

It is not a bad idea to do assistance work for lower back too, particularly if it is a weakness of yours.

I would not do hyper extensions while squating / deadlifting regular.

Lower back is already getting plenty
