Best lower back exercises

[pillar3792]

I have noticed recently my lower back is lagging,I have pretty good thickness in upper back and lats, but lower back could use some help. What exercises have you used to?

I never feel like I am doing dl's right. We have a power lifting group that meets at the gym I go to. I am going to see a couple of the guys this weekend and work on proper technique and foot position etc. Thanks for the response guys, keep them coming.

Deads are all you need for erector thickness bro.. heavy ass deads. I prefer no belt and strict strict form as i get much more core work and more lower back work. As long as the rest of your back routine is solid with rows and the like, the addition of deads is all you need.

The guy who taught me to deadlift was one of the top powerlifters in his weight class and org. Once I learned the proper form it changed my life.

That's what I am hoping for.We have some guys currently holding records as well. They are very helpful to everyone who asks. I think they hate to see the poor form more than anything.

Rack pulls!!

U feel those moreso than deads and they're not so exhausting.

Deadlifts, good mornings, weighted hypers are all effective.

Exactly....Set the pins just high enough to keep your legs out of the exercise and blast away. I love this exercise!

 

[Denali]

Heavy weight squats

 

[Vicious]

I love dreads but if I really want to just blast my back I'm a rack pull fan

 

[Racepicks]

Heavy Deads, without a doubt

Definately rack pulls. I have the pins at about knee height, high control over entire movement. Locks the back in and the legs out. I had the same issue with lower back lagging. Now making good gains

just started doing rack pulls for reps and my lower back is fried. I started off powerlifting and did lots of deads for low reps, let me tell you they do not build your lower back as much as you think. Really gotta focus on squeezing the muscle and using a weight you can do 8-10 reps with
