    Rack deads, weighted hyperextensions. Full deads are great but I don't do them anymore.

    I'm old, and I get enough stimulus from heavy rack deads as opposed to pulling from the floor.

    They hit the entire posterior chain, they are a great exercise. I did them for years, now I don't have the need. But a new lifter should learn to do them right and do them for sure

    Instead of questioning how to strengthen your lower back, ask how to strengthen your glutes.
    By changing your mindset and emphasizing glutes, everything else posterior including your lower back will follow. Really, glutes are the key to real strength and size gains. They are the foundation.

    You have the biggies:
    • standard squats
    • wide stance squats
    • standard deads
    • sumo deads
    • rack pulls
    • Good Mornings


    and don't forget:
    • Pull-throughs
    • Glute/Ham Raises
    • Reverse hyper-extensions

    good mornings are awesome if you execute them right. hyperextensions and reverse hyperextensions are also really effective.

    I do stiff-legged deadlifts at the end of my leg day. I only bend my legs slightly during the movement and when I lower barbell down to the floor, I do not hit the floor.
    Since I have been doing these, my squat has gone up considerably and I also feel much more steady on all of my movements I execute. It is a great exercise to finish with for me because I do not get super crazy with heavy weights which could result in injury. It forces me to leave my ego at the door and ensure that I execute the movement with spot on proper form.
    When I do go somewhat heavy (275 - 315 lb), not only does my lower back get sore, but also my upper back as well. This is a must do exercise.
