@lowbackability: How you do things > What you do. When asked “what's the best 1-3 exercises to fix my low back”… It’s a tough thing to answer because the same exercises that can heal you, can easily harm you. Healing the low back is journey in pursuit of qualitative gains, not just quantitative gains. It’s less about numerical progressive overload and just marking the exercise off as complete. But making every position of the movement comfortable and secure without fear. Providing new evidence to the tissue and the nervous system that the low back muscles can fire and not spasm, flare up, etc. The crucial piece here is INTENTION. I spent years training the back extension but never rebuilding my back because I was chasing numbers and progression of volume. Rushing through reps with no concern of the sensation of low back training was improving over time. The back extension is the best exercise ROUTE to embark over time. As a beginner, seeking only to learn and work with the symptoms/signs of your back. Not just to rep out sets to failure mindlessly. This route has no timeframe. Each level is truly just a different variation with unique benefits. Play the long game. Water the seeds just enough, rest, let em grow. Repeat. Rooting for ya. ❤️‍🩹
