I've seen a bunch of videos with Louie in them and when the guys are squatting and dead lifting he is yelling ARCH ARCH ARCH ARCH.
Is he referring to arching your back? As in bending getting an arch in your back to where you feel your lower back muscles engage?
Does this protect your lower back from injury?
Is there a technique to doing it?
I haven't been trying this arch when I squat or dead lift, but today I was moving some bags around and I tried the arch idea and I felt my low back muscles engage and it felt like they were supporting the spine.
