[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 264058, member: 15235"] If I had had access to a hip-belt squat machine or a cable machine that approximates one, that would have been my go-to when my back was at its worst, although there is still some back involvement at the lowest part of the spine. In some ways I find it less stressful for the back than leg presses since you can use a longer range of motion and don't have to be constrained by your low back "rolling up" as can happen at the bottom on leg presses. I believe Stu McGill endorses sled pushing as back-friendly. Also, if you don't have access to a reverse hyper, you can approximate one if you have access to a horizontal back extension device as shown in the video below, especially if you add ankle weights. The back-extension devices with a big cushion are much more comfortable than the one shown but this should give you the idea. Hang in there. My back was at it's worst in late 2019 and it has only been this year that it feels close to 100%. [MEDIA=youtube]mL3NDeb_PwE[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
