Ok...I hope this quesition goes better than the last lol.
On the upper body day youre supposed to do an exercise for back width and one for back thickness, the one for back thickness being something like Deadlifts, Bent Barbell Rows, right?
Bent rows with RP or deadlifts in general give my lower back a serious workout and I find that it is still sore on the lower body day when I squat. I also do reverse hypers or a make-shift glute-ham raise for the hams with RP which also involves my lower back.
That last thing I need riggth now is a back injury and I can feel the soreness in my spine when I sleep.
Would it be ok to avoid exercises that hit the lower back alot on the upper-body day and train the lower back on the lower-body day by adding in some posterior chain exercises like deads, heavy good-mornings, and as I mentioned GHR's and rev. hypers?
So the lower-body day would look something like this for each of the 3 exercise groupings:
1) Squat (straight sets), leg press (RP), or Leg ext. (RP)
2) Deadlifts (straight sets), Good-Mornings (straight sets), Weighed hyperextention (RP)
3) Rev. hyper (RP), leg curls (RP), or GHR (RP)
4) some calve work (RP)
5) Bi's and Grip work (both RP)
6) Traps (RP)
The upper-body day would be just as written except I would lean towards back-thickness exercises that dont involve the lower back as much. I would still do bent-over rows on one of the 3 upper-body days but arrange it so that the following lower-body day would be easier on the lower back (perhaps the one with leg extension instead of squats).
Keep in mind that I do not really care about leg development in the bodybuilder sense (my legs are big enough...I ran out of pants that fit lol).
What I want out of my lower-body training is to build a ridiculous squat and deadlift.
