Lower Back QUESTION
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? BillKS http://www.makemuscle.net |

Your back is worked out as a main effect of dead lifting not a side effect.

Some more direct isotonic work isn't a bad idea in my opinion, especially because a lot of the exercises often involve hip extension too, which is sorely needed in many people's programs.

so CowPimp, what IS the ideal way to build and strengthen the lower back/ erectors if they are being use mostly like the abs in heavy lifts? I know that the larger back muscles take most of the burden in a lot of these exercises, and, now with my gymnastics interest, very much wish to really strengthen and build my erectors!

If you want to supplement with exercises like hyperextensions, reverse hyperextensions, or whatever, then that's fine.
