Erectors

The Erector Spinae are deep muscles running along the spine, vital for posture and trunk extension. They act as stabilisers in almost every lift — from deadlifts to squats — maintaining spinal alignment and transferring force through the core.

Strengthening the erectors improves resilience against back pain and boosts control under heavy load. Controlled movements like back extensions, bird dogs, and Romanian deadlifts are key for safe, functional development.
