Several studies have
assessed erector spinae muscle activity during compound exercises.
Noe et al. (1992)
assessed erector spinae muscle activity during an isokinetic machine deadlift, and found that erector spinae muscle activity peaked at 83 % of lift height, which was after the point where peak force output was produced (67 % of lift).
