[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but I'm interested in specifically the low back part.  I do all of the activities mentioned and have fairly strong glutes/quads/hamstrings.  But my lower back is touchy and gets sore quite frequently, often seemingly as a result of those exercises.  Likely part of it is from me slipping into poor form, but if anyone has suggested for targeting low back strength/resiliency/flexibility, I'd love to hear it![/quote]

If you are slipping into poor form then you should decrease the weight you are lifting. Never do an exercise with weight if you can not do it with proper form.

Also, depending on the exercise, always be sure to brace your core and tuck your hips. For bracing core during squats and deadlifts brace like someone is going to punch you in the stomach.

Things like deadlifts can easily injure your back if your form is off- lifting with back instead of hinging/lifting with hamstring and glutes, hips to high when you lift the weight off the ground, leaning too far forward.

Have you ever worked with a trainer? it is hugely helpful to get form right. [/quote]
