Muscles Worked: Erector spinae muscles (which help with spine stabilization), rectus abdominis and glutes. Common Mistakes: Arching the spine, rotating the hips, shifting your body weight from ...
The erector spinae (/ ɪ ˈ r ɛ k t ər ˈ s p aɪ n i / irr-EK-tər SPY-nee) [1] or spinal erectors is a set of muscles that straighten and rotate the back. The spinal erectors work together with the glutes ( gluteus maximus , gluteus medius and gluteus minimus ) to maintain stable posture standing or sitting .
A back extension is an exercise that works the lower back as well as the mid and upper back, specifically the erector spinae muscles. There are two erector spinae, one on either side of the spine, that run along its length. These are formed of three smaller muscles – spinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis. [1]
The plank strengthens the abdominals, back and shoulders. Muscles involved in the front plank include: [7] Primary muscles: erector spinae, rectus abdominis (abs), and transverse abdominis.
Major muscles included are the pelvic floor muscles, transversus abdominis, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, erector spinae (sacrospinalis) especially the longissimus thoracis, and the diaphragm. The lumbar muscles, quadratus Lumborum (deep portion), deep rotators, as well as cervical muscles, rectus capitus ...
The primary exercises for developing the posterior chain are the Olympic lifts, squats, [1] good-mornings, bent-over rows, deadlifts, [1] pull-ups and hyperextensions.The common denominator among many of these movements is a focus on hip extension, excluding bent-over rows and pull ups.
The longissimus thoracis et lumborum is the intermediate and largest of the continuations of the erector spinae.. In the lumbar region (longissimus lumborum), where it is as yet blended with the iliocostalis, some of its fibers are attached to the whole length of the posterior surfaces of the transverse processes and the accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and to the anterior layer of ...
It is caused by tight hip flexors and erector spinae with inhibited weak gluteals and abdominals. [11] Imbalance of the muscles can lead to an anterior pelvic tilt, increased hip flexion, and lumbar hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine. This increases the pressure in the anterior labrum. [4]
