At that time there have been different ways to measure stuff and different ideas about fitness. The old model of endurance for example and that running in a fat burning is the best way to shed fat.
The Superman is not a very functional exercise due to its position. I doubt you will ever want to run around in hyperextension of your lumbar spine.
As this is a position you dont want to be in in the first place, isometric strange in such a motion is quite unnecessary.
he says his name in th beginning and at the end
Can you provide a link? I googled it and couldn’t find anything that simply explained the problem.
I heard this can give you a big buttt (: Hope its true
great video
nice video very good info
could u put more for lower back
Can you do this with addtional weight like two dumbells?
thnx a lot. great info : )
it works for me, i use ankle weights though, one time i was doing 90 a day and my booty looked niceeeeeeeeee lol
he got more and more tired as he went along lol
@xxrandomBriannaxx ur white.. of course its not XD
@VivaCutiePie19 if your doin this with dumbells you dont need this workout.. this is for people with lower back issues.. there are other exercises that do more work on the lower back and gluteus (if you dont have back issues)
@rietta prove ittttt
According to Dr Stuart Mcgill this exercise and any variation is a bad idea. The reason is that this movement torques the low back and promotes activation of the erectors for hip extension. Short term a very deconditioned back patient may get relief. This is because any movement that promotes blood flow helps but long term this movement will cause disk issues.
I would say 90% of my back patients felt better once they stopped this exercise.
@sports317 … i have to do this bullshit exercise for the marines
@sports317 ok. what sould you do to train lower back then?
that looks hard
can i ask u something.does super man exercise work cheast muscle too?
This is a horrible exercise for the back.. do some reasearch. Studies show that this puts 14 times more pressure on your spine than standing. People do nor do this is you hhave lower back pain. If you do.. good luck with making it worse. =(
@41ToiToi
Pressure means nothing, if your body is conditioned for it. Jumping puts 100 times the pressure on your joints than standing, but healthy people can still do it safely most of the time.
it looked easy at first, but it’s really not that easy .
Thanks Jai, this really works!
The term “not as easy as it looks like” fits here best!
