Am i arching enough and from the right spot?

Adriano Augusto

You're arching a lot with your lower back, that is good, but it is not the whole point of the exercise. The point is build strenght across all the posterior chain that involves: shoulders (extension), upper back, middle back, lower back, erectors, glutes (for hip elevation) and hamstrings. 

 

Tell me where you feel the most the exercise and I will tell you how you're doing it. 

 

The ROM is awesome, but the thing is: are you activating the right musculature or just using your lower back flexibility? 

 

However, again, the ROM is wonderful :D
