Elevated Superman With Med Ball Rotation

The elevated superman with med ball rotation is a posterior chain exercise that builds isometric strength through the glutes, hamstrings, erectors, and multifidus while training controlled spinal rotation. Using a plyometric box and two medicine balls, this superman variation locks in hip extension and makes an excellent warm-up or primer before lifting and conditioning days. It’s a smart, low-impact option for athletes and anyone working toward a stronger, more resilient lower back.

Band Resisted Cat/Camel

The band-resisted cat-camel is a simple upgrade to the classic cat-camel that builds real thoracic mobility, recruits the serratus and core, and assists you into deeper spinal extension. Learn how to set up, perform, and program this resistance band mobility drill for powerlifters, combat sports athletes, swimmers, golfers, and anyone with a stiff upper back.
