Spinal Erectors

Spinal Erectors (lower back)How do you work them out..?

Traditional work for spinal erecteres includes: back extensions, deadlifts, good mornings and there are weight machines in the gym that are designed for spinal erecters.

 

I currently do my back extensions face down on a thera-ball.

Be VERY careful with Good Mornings - loading your lower back at that angle is a recipe for disaster!

 

A safe and often overlooked erector spinae movement is the seated cable row. Most people nkow mit recruits the lats, but if you sit well back & lean forward at the start of the movement then the initial move to an upright position will work your ES well - and keeping them under contraction as you rwo your arms in & stick out your chest will give them another kick.

 

I love heavy deadlifts - but I'm a nutter, I do heavy power cleans & full "ass to the ground" squats too
