CAVEAT: It’s actually normal to feel the RDL in the lower back because the spinal erectors are used, but it shouldn’t be the PRIMARY thing you feel unless they’re just weak as s**t.

If you’ve a decent back extension but still feel it primarily in the lower back then chances are it’s a technique issue.

ALSO - I mentioned “now you should have no lower back pain” later in the video, what I meant to say was “now the lower back shouldn’t be the main thing you feel” - if you have actual lower back pain doing this that could be a different issue

Not a fan of these for back squats. The pain of having the bar in the wrong place TEACHES you where the bar should be.

If when you bring them lower there’s ZERO tension, then lower the cable too and you’ll be sweet.

If you struggle with stability on this, these two tips should sort you out right away.
