Why is it important?

Lower back muscles play the most vital role when it comes to the stance you take for standing and sitting, since they carry "most" of your torso weight.

 

What are the benefits of training these muscles?

  • Training these muscles reduces the potential strain/pain in the area which are related to physical labor that requires either alot of body movement or prolonged passive stances (e.g. violin holding/ standing in the lab)

  • A strenghtened lower back muscle sling will reduce the stress on your spine, reducing spine related illnesses in decades to come.

  • The better stance reflects on the demeanor with which a person present himself, whereby he seems more confident and professional. This is not just important for chick-attration, but also for your professional life.

 

Anything else I need to consider? Like with all training:

1- Train smart and don't overdo it.

2-If you train a muscle, you must train its antagonist too. If you train your lower back, then you should couple that with training your abs.

 

Good luck getting buff!!
