During many traditional core exercises (like plank and push - up variations, leg raises, and abdominal roll - outs), erector spinae muscle activity is low.

The erector spinae is highly active during a number of less traditional exercises, including the log - lift and tire - flip strongman events, but the sled push exercise produces lower muscle activity than the back squat.
