Squats and Lower Back
Posted by: wd
I recently started doing squats and afterwards my lower back is tired but does not hurt. I dont think you are sopposed to use you'r lower back when doing squats, are you? I just want to know if there is a flaw in my form
Re: Squats and Lower Back
You shouldnt lower your back when you squat you should bend at the hips and keep your back straight. I couldnt really tell ya if you were doin it right or wrong unless i watched you do it. If you are just starting it may be tired even if you are doing it the right way.
Re: Squats and Lower Back
Lower back strength is extrememly important when squatting. To properly sit back in your squat, you need to lean your upper body forward a little. The posterior chain (back, glutes, hams) are the most important muscles. Do Good Mornings, Reverse Hypers, and Stiff Legged Deadlifts to strengthen the lower back.
