Most lower-back pain comes from weak hips. Three movements fix it: single-leg reverse squats with a slow descent, Copenhagen planks with a bent-leg option, and barbell hip-thrust holds for stability.
I'm pretty sure everybody knows that lower back pain comes from the hips now. It's 2026. But how do you work hip stability when you're a jacked masculine man? Now I'm confident enough in my masculinity to use these sexy machines, but you don't have to. Let's start with a single leg reverse squat, pulling the knee to the chest, working the hip flexor, and then slow negative ensures the tension strength of that to create more explosive power. Then Copenhagen plank. You can do this with a bent leg if it's too hard with a straight leg. Finishing with barbell hip thrust holds. Now there is no way to make this not look sexy, but guys, this is one of the most important movements for hip stability.
