LOWER BACK

Dumbbell Superman

IntermediateDumbbell

A weighted take on the Superman hold, done face down while gripping a dumbbell in each hand. The added load raises the challenge for the back, lower back, glutes, and hamstrings compared with the bodyweight version. A solid move for strengthening the whole posterior chain.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie face down with your arms stretched overhead and legs straight.

  2. 2

    Hold a dumbbell in each hand out in front of you, palms toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Fire your back, glutes, and shoulders to lift both arms and legs a few inches off the ground.

  4. 4

    Hold briefly at the top.

  5. 5

    Lower your arms and legs slowly while keeping tension in your back and glutes.

  6. 6

    Keep your limbs long with just a slight bend in the elbows and knees throughout.
