Lower Back

The Lower Back (lumbar region) provides structural support and stability for nearly every movement. It’s a key part of the posterior chain, working with the glutes and hamstrings to transfer force safely and efficiently. Exercises like Romanian deadlifts, back extensions, and supermans strengthen these muscles and protect against strain. Developing endurance and control here supports lifting technique and reduces risk of injury during compound movements.
