I'm back in the gym doing cardio primarily, but I'd also like to do core work and lower back. I lift a lot of heavy stuff in my day to day work ranging from 30-50lbs between 50-200+ times daily. I'd like to do some excercises to help strengthen my lower back. What do you reccommend?

Hyperextensions > *

Deadlifts and stiff leg deadlifts will also work the lower back...but hyperextensions are the best.

 

elaborate, what are hyperextensions?

 

heavy deadlifts.

 

reechy knows what he's talking about.

deadlift

 

what kind of work do you do?

 

Deadlifts then hyperextensions. You'll feel it in the morning.

 

It's a workout apparatus where you lock your calves underneath leg pads, and there is a hip pad to rest your hips on. Then you grab a weight and hold it to your chest....lower your head down and relax, then raise up until your back is straight.

 

beverage industry, I deliver Snapple and also merchandise the product meaning pulling pallets and building displays. Pallets weigh from 2268-2646lbs and the stores won't let you use power jacks...I get thorough leg work outs from work aloneh: A 24pack of snapple weighs 42lbs and is my main load daily.

 

yeah do those hyperextensions. when you can do enough reps/sets, start to hold plates across your chest, like 25/35/45lbs. i still cant do more than use a 35 h:
