The lower back muscles play an important role in stabilizing the spine and facilitating movement. These small muscles help create the 360 degrees that make up your core, but don’t get a lot of attention in most workouts.

Many lower back muscles, especially the deep ones, are considered postural muscles, so training them for endurance makes a lot of sense. You want to gradually build up the time they are under tension so that they are more resilient and strong for long periods.

That’s why we wrote this guide on exercises for lower back workouts.

Powerlifting Technique offers three on-demand powerlifting courses. One focuses specifically on technique. The second focuses on preparing for your first meet. And the third shows you how to maximize your performance for competitions. Want to improve? Learn from the former head coach of Team Canada.
