By properly training the components listed below, you will not only reduce the incidence of injury, but you will improve your day to day movement:

1. Reflexive Performance Reset

Hip extension is a movement we perform all day, every day.

When you have back pain, the lower back drives hip extension.

The proper firing pattern for hip extension is:

1. Glute
2. Hamstring
3. Opposite QL

Activating daily using RPR ensures that the glutes are the primary driver in hip extension and not the lower back.

2. Deadlift

One of the best exercises to strengthen the back.

The exercise targets the entire posterior chain of both the upper and lower body.

Start with the bar over your toes, squat the bar off the ground to the hip, keeping the bar tight to the body the entire time.

Sets: 4-6
Reps: 1-3
