So <a href="http://relativestrengthadvantage.com/how-to-deadlift-correctly-to-get-a-strong-back-and-avoid-injuries/" rel="nofollow">deadlifts </a> work the lower back quite well. Any exercise really that makes you hold the <a href="http://relativestrengthadvantage.com/core-training-learn-the-arch-position-for-strong-core-muscles-and-a-healthy-back/" rel="nofollow">arch position </a> under resistance is good. You can try good mornings ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFDmJaFw5HU or the super man exercise ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2f24JKuocI for a body weight variation. Cheers, Yavor p.s. just remember to always keep the arch in the lower back tight. This also means keep the back tight when picking stuff up at home. Chica,

It's almost like a row and a plank combined. This seems like a really great exercise for an athlete to develop core strength, I imagine it's pretty hard to stay stable when lifting 40kg like your friend above!

Also - you can alternate between two exercises, for example renegade rows and a pressing (military press, etc) or leg (squats, linges) exercise. This saves time - you can rest from 0 to 60 seconds when alternating exercises (one set of exercise 1, followed by one set of exercise 2, etc..). Chica,

The article had a link the the Jones Gym article on the same subject. I can not find this article on your site now? has it been removed? Hi Yavor,

Try to support yourself on your palms as close to the heel of your palm as possible (as opposed to supporting yourself on the backside of your knuckles which hurts the wrist) 2. If the pain persists try doing fisted pushups for a while to make your wrists stronger. 3. If this doesn't help - ditch the rows Cheers, Yavor Ray,

It is always a good reminder to revisit proper form. Next time I do these, I'm going to be extra strict regarding form. Yavor, thanks for the shout out and the videos.
