his poor low back arrrrrrrrgh

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Lots of intensity there. I'm sure his lower back was fine. The stabilizer muscles were strengthened from squats and deadlifts I'm sure. That's all you need.

 

[OMEGA]

yep


although it may be better to do 1 arm dumbell rows instead of the BB bent over rows


makes better sense physiologically speaking....

 

[Tom Treutlein]

How is that, Omega? Less stress on the lower back?

 

[Toozee]

How often did he do the workout? 3x a week or so?

well I figured the squats involve the stabilizer muscles of your lower back and abs, they are isometrically worked, and then when you throw in the deads you do direct work through a full range of motion,

so the bent over BB rows would just work the area again, 1 arm DB rows would actually warm up that area and stretch it out in anticipation for the deads and squats


thats just my opinion
