The 14 Best Exercises To Build A Vacuum Tight, Lean, Impenetrable Lower Back
Lower Back Exercise 11: Lying Supermans
How to:
Video Demo — Lying Supermans
- (1) Lie face down on the floor with your arms and legs fully extended.
- (2) Squeeze your lower back and powerfully raise your arms and legs upward, as if you’re flying. Your quads and chest should come off the floor.
- (3) Hold the hyperextension for a few seconds and return back to the ground.
Lower Back Exercise 12: Alternating Lying Supermans
How to:
Video Demo — Alternating Lying Supermans
- (1) Lie face down on the floor with your arms and legs fully extended. Raise your chest and quads off the floor.
- (2) Squeeze your lower back and powerfully raise your right arm and left leg up as far as possible. Hold for 1s.
- (3) Immediately lower and repeat with your opposite arm and leg. Continue to alternate back-and-forth.
Lower Back Exercise 13: Stability Ball Leg Curls
How to:
Video Demo — Stability Ball Leg Curls
- (1) Lie on your back with your heels on top of a stability ball. Press your heels into the ball and lift your body off the floor to form a straight bridge with your body — squeeze your lower back and tighten your core.
- (2) Powerfully contract your butt and hamstrings, and curl the ball inwards until your knees form a right angle.
- (3) Hold the contraction for .5s, roll the ball back out to full bridge and repeat.
Lower Back Exercise 14: Renegade Rows
How to:
Video Demo — Renegade Rows
- (1) Assume push up position with two dumbbells (neutral grip). While keeping your core tight and lower back flat (45º angle) — keep it straight like a plank of wood — powerfully row your right arm up until it’s slightly above your torso. Don’t rotate your body.
- (2) Hold the contraction for 1s, return to the floor, and repeat for the opposite arm.
