Not exact matches

Strategically training your back muscles — and I'm talking about your rhomboids (between your shoulder blades), your trapezius — or traps — your erector spinae column (long chain along your spine) the more support and balance you will give to the front of your body, the less pain you will have and you will decrease your risk of injury!

The target muscle is the erector spinae, which runs the length of your back from neck to tailbone.

The erector spinae muscles of the lower back work isometrically to keep the spine in an extended position while the hamstrings and gluteus maximus work isotonically to perform hip extension.

Studies have shown that using a weight belt either has little effect at all on the erector spinae muscles (lower back muscles) or an increase of their engagement by up to 25 %.

In addition to the high quad activation, the Front Squat also requires the muscles of the lower back, the erector spinae, to work hard in order to maintain the upright upper body posture and avoid collapsing.

Some of the back muscles are called the erector spinae group — this simply means that their job is to keep the spine erect.

In this super ab routine, you will target all areas of the mid-section: rectus abdominus (the six pack), internal and external obliques, transverse abdominus (the deep muscle that act as a corset pulling in your lower belly and supporting your lower back), erector spinae muscles (muscles which line the spine) and lumbar muscles (muscles of the lower back).

The dorsal raise uses the lower back (erector spinae) and works the extensor muscles on either side of the spine.

Erector spinae or spinal erectors are groups of muscles and tendons that can be found at the back of our body.

At the top of the lift you should feel the tension in the lower back muscles (erector spinae).

The prone lying back extension exercise is a maneuver utilized to work the erector spinae and other smaller stabilizing muscles of the back.

Comparing upper and lower body exercises, Comfort et al. (2011) explored lower erector spinae muscle activity in the back, squat front squat and the standing barbell press with a load of 40 kg.

When performing the squat variations with 90 % of 3RM, muscle activity of the erector spinae was superior in the back squat during the ascending phase (94.7 ± 20.8 vs. 79.8 ± 22.5 % of MVC) while there was no difference during the descending phase (72.1 ± 22.2 vs. 69.7 ± 13.5), respectively.

Comparing the effect external resistance type, Saeterbakken et al. (2014) explored erector spinae muscle activity during the back squat with 6RM loads using either a barbell or a combination of a barbell and elastic resistance (where elastic resistance comprised between 25 — 40 % total load, depending on the phase of the lift).

Gullet et al. (2008) explored erector spinae muscle activity (at L3) in the back or front squat with 70 % of 1RM.

They reported superior erector spinae muscle activity in the front squat compared to the back squat, possibly because of the difference in relative load.

Erector spinae muscle activity was superior in the back squat compared to the weighted sled exercise during the concentric phase of the exercise.

They reported that the erector spinae muscle was greater when the back squat was performed on the floor with loads of 90 and 100 % of 1RM but there were no significant differences between conditions at 70 or 80 % of 1RM.

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.

Assessing the effect of surface stability during back squats, Bressel et al. (2009) explored erector spinae muscle activity during the barbell back squat with 50 % of 1RM both when standing on the floor and when standing on a BOSU ball.

Comparing the back squat and deadlift, Hamlyn et al. (2007) explored erector spinae muscle activity using 80 % of 1RM load.

Other studies have also shown consistently greater erector spinae muscle activity when performing the back squat with higher relative loads between 30 — 75 % of 1RM or 60 — 90 % of 3RM, respectively (Willardson et al. 2009; Li et al. 2013; Aspe et al. 2014).

It appears that neither the back squat nor the deadlift produce superior muscle activity in both regions of the erector spinae.

Therefore there appears to be no benefit of using unstable loads in the back squat to enhance erector spinae muscle activity.

Assessing the effect of bar velocity, Manabe et al. (2007) found that performing the back squat with quicker speeds with the same relative load increased erector spinae muscle activity when compared to slower speeds.

In contrast, Comfort et al. (2011) compared the front and back squat with the same absolute load of 40 kg to the superman exercise and reported no difference in lower erector spinae muscle activity.

Similarly, Hamlyn et al. (2007) found that the back squat and deadlift performed with 80 % of 1RM produced superior erector spinae muscle activity compared to the side plank.

She is in fact the opposite of kyphosis because she is contracting her postural muscles (erector spinae) and since her shoulders are back in a retracted position she is working her lower and middle traps and rhomboids.
