So how the hell do you strengthen this part of your body without ACK-ing yourself?

I'm fat, so bodyweight is enough to require all core, ass, and quads to straighten out. I also LOVE hanging over at the start and decompressing my back. Anyways, pause at the top to really feel what it takes to keep your body straight. I adjust the pads to line right up with my hips. Also I like to keep my feet closer together and parallel to each other to really stretch my legs.
Roman chair does it all, I love it.

No, its a great exercise for glutes and hamstrings but I’ve never felt it in my spinal erectors, same with deadlifts. The only exercises that tangibly pump by spinal erectors are front squats/zerchers and overhead press.

Yes but i do them like a jefferson curl intentionally rounding my back on the way down and extending on the way up. If you do them with your back straight then you'll mostly feel your hamstrings and glutes since hip extension is the primary motion you're training and spinal extension is only isometric.

50-100 bodyweight back extensions and sit ups before and after every heavy lifting day. This keeps my back healthy and mobile, in addition to minimum 10k steps per day, usually 15k+. Just walking more will probably reduce your back pain by quite a bit.

unironically turn every lift into a lower back flexion exercise with baby weights like Dr. Mike Israetel, Ph.D.

Get in a pool. Do 500 meters dolphin kicks, only arm stroke to breathe every 8-10 seconds. Then 500 meters dolphin kicks on your back. I use a nose clip for this to prevent water from going up my nose. Works core muscles and lower back, mobility and fcking

Various planks can also help. Warming up before deadlifting is also essential.
If your lower back starts hurting, drop the weight and keep going. Motion is lotion.

Konnichiwa, dude!
I might try these though, they look good. Probably helps with lower back posture too which I struggle with

Even with my back straight the entire time I get a crazy lower back pump, so crazy it hurts, in fact. I used to worry I might be injuring myself, but as the pain always resolves over the next 15 minutes and this experience has been going on for three years, at this point I can say it's a safe pain. I've also found that immediately following back extensions with core work releases the tightness.

Deadlifts retard
If you ack yourself with deadlifts you’re retarded and deserve it. It’s extremely hard to do and only really possible if you’re doing something retarded like high volume high frequency deadlifts. Do them once a week and you’re golden

I once got into a good flow back in college. Deadlift form finally clicked for me. Got too enthusiastic during one set and definitely strained something. Learning not to strain, snap, or ack is part of a beginner's journey.

What's the weight you should stop at?
>>
>>77120225
2.5pl8 feels dangerous to me but it depends on your body geometry etc. Just a lot of weight on the back.
You can get everything you want from deadlifting except extreme strength--like for more deadlifting, with 2pl8 singles.

1. Barbell good mornings (use a safety squat bar or low bar placement)
2. 45° back extensions (hold 2-3 plate at your chest or a loaded barbell underneath)
3. Reverse hypertension machine
4. Heavy deadlifts (do them every few weeks)
That's the recipe for a bullet proof back. Worked for me at least.

This gives my lower back an erection. That is the best way I can describe it.

You can use them as a back or glute exercise, just depends on positioning and muscle usage
>>
>>77118073
im personally having trouble with this i'm basically doing the exercise people say for glutes where you pivot from your hips and your body with your head pointing down towards the floor in flexion and in extension you're just a little bit curled head towards the ceiling from flat. I find it has been pretty hard to injure it but I think I needed to add fascia support like GSP's training where you're like a turtle rolling up from its shell with only 1 foot remaining on the ground at each full rotation

Recovery:
- Elephant Walks where you progressively go lower until you can do them completely bent over
- Hyper extension holds until you can do them for two minutes (move the pad up if causes pain holding the position at your groin/thighs)
- Inner and Outer Hip Dropsets. Basically just this video without the Pigeon pose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZg0aSqA38
Once you can do the above without pain or discomfort:
- Jefferson Curls (low weight)
- Dumbbell Side Bends (low weight)
- Hyper Extensions until you can do 30 in a row
- Inner and Outer Hip Dropsets, but now followed up with 30-60 seconds of active Pigeon Poses for the Outer set, and Weighed Butterfly Stretches for the Inner set
No pain or discomfort doing the above? Use them as warmup before:
- Deadlifts
- Weighted Seated Goodmornings
- Weighted Jefferson Curls
- Weighted Dumbbell Side Bends
- Weighted Hyperextensions
If you ever start feeling pain in your back during any of this, then dial it back with either lower weight, or go back to the recovery exercises.

Nah it's not as hard as deadlifts. Once you do it 2-3 times, you'll get down the technique and see massive gains. I try to always do them with a safety squat bar since it's easier than low bar. Biggest mistake people make with good mornings is that they only bend their back over when they should be focusing on pushing their hips back like an RDL.
