What it works

Strengthens your back extensors, glutes and upper back. A strong back supports your posture in daily life and your lifts in the gym.

What it should feel like

You should feel it in your back extensors, glutes and upper back. It should not feel like a sharp squeeze in your lower back.

Most common mistake
