Historically, my lower back has been just yuck, meaning that it gets aggravated when i'm doing bent over anything (not all the time, but most of the time).
A few weeks ago, was working out with my trainer it was back day. We were doing a super set of seated cable rows and he had me doing some weighted ab crunches. We did about 3 supesets or so. Was wondering why he had me do some abs, but hey i just do what i'm told (mostly lol!).
Then we went to the landmine/tbar rows. I was wearing my belt (of course). But man, what a difference that made in this movement that he had me activate my abs so that my abs would support the heavy load of the tbar rows and not my lower back! It was fabulous. And of course he explained to me why he had me do abs before doing the bent over tbar rows.
Happy lifting y'all.
