How to build lower back?

[dopeydill]

What's up! Just looked at my back for the first time the other day, 1st off how does my back look?
( yes I know I'm on a lean to the left a little) and second I'm wondering how I could build my lower back up? Cheers

you can isolate using good mornings or something, but really all you need is deadlifts and squats. deadlifts work the lower back directly, and squats activate them as stabalizers

[PIGFitness]

Deadlifts, hyperextension, squats

holy chit thats lacking.

its time to start deadlifting.

Don't know as much as you guys about lifting, but don't you try to not use a whole lot of back when you dead lift... Lol?

what muscle do you try and work when doing deadlifts then?

we are not talking about stiff-legg'd

[addictedal]

Deadlift the phuck out of that back. You'll have all kinds of christmas tree action going on

Upper back looks solid, just needs to pack more mass imo, but you need to start doing deadlifts bro!

no, with dead lifts, if you arent feeling it in your back, then you are doing them wrong....you should feel it in your lower back when you '' lock your shoulders back on the raise'' . But the main muscle group being worked are your outer quads and hams..

Deadlifts, Back Extensions

[ummsoyea]

deeeeeeeeeeaaaaaddddddlift hard

[Polyphemus]

deadlifts. Isolate them with hyperextensions or good mornings.

[naturalbb]

Like everyone else said heavy Deadlifts. I specifically like top end deadlifts (partial deadlifts) for blasting the lower back. Weighted (horizontal) hyper extentions work good too.

[danlsann]

Deadlifts and back squats.

[dopeydill]

Cheers! Haven't been deadlifting for roughly 12 weeks because of a knee injury, (popped my knee cap out and done my MCL) and still can't take really heavy loads on it, ill get onto it! Cheers!

Alright just checking, after reading the other posts it sounded like you were supposed to lift all back and I was a little iffy on that.

[LiftCore]

As mentioned, Deadlifts, Back squats. If you can't do those, hyper-extensions are also effective.

da ****?

Isn't deadlift dangerous?

I was deadlifting today and used too much of my back like the idiot I am. Of course it's dangerous. You need proper form. Every exercise can be dangerous without proper form.

Deadlifts, squats, you can try reverse crunches (where you "crunch backward"; on your stomach, bend back as much as you can, kinda like a sit-up), there are also machines at the gym for that.

[Schmeckie]

Dead lift and hyper extensions for sure, try doing some barbell rows with an underhand grip and pulling toward your lower stomach.

yea it is if you're doing it with poor form, you'll get hernias and chit

when you dead lift make sure you keep your back straight, to the point it's arching. if i got a stick and placed it on your back in your deadlift form, the stick should ideally be making contact with your lowerback/tailbone, in between your shoulder blades and the back of your head. keep that consistent throughout the entire lift. when you're lifting keep the bar as close into you as possible, you pretty much should be pushing it lightly into you.

[aestheticyet]

you have a lack of dem der spinal erectors. Hyperextensions, deadlifts, good mornings. I'd definitely have deadlift as a staple if you don't already and then pick good morning or hyperextensions to throw in on a day other than deadlift day and spaced away from deadlift day.

Deadlift, Deadlift, Deadlift

Also check out the Hodge Twins new video on Youtube about Lower Back.

[MarkBreen]

Two really good ones for the lower back are Deadlifts and Weighted Hyper extensions

best of luck op

[trying2getfat]

lots of deadlifts, also you could start by rotating that picture 90 degrees clockwise. Turning my head puts strain on my neck.

[SmallestPin]

Sir you must deadlift!
