    What about this study: Biering-Sorensen F., “Physical Measurements As Risk Indicators for Low Back Trouble Over a One-Year Period,” Spine, Vol. 9, No. 2, 1984, pp. 106-119. They conclude that the only predictor for lower back pain was isometric strength in a superman like exercise (holding your torso against gravity for around a minute was the cut off).

    Jai,

    You need to check out Stuart McGill ‘Biomechanics of Back Pain’.

    Superman creates excessive shear forces at the facets and the annular fibers. DON’T DO IT!

    I don’t want to yell at you, man, but this information has been out there for 5 years.

    You should know it.

    Instead, do Quadriped Hip Extension. Neutral spine, co-contract abdominal stabilizers with hip (not lumbar) extensors.

    Check out this video.

    How exactly can it create sheer forces when there’s no load on the spine at all?

    a mixture of cardio and strength along with a healthy diet will remove body fat throughout your body, it is difficult to remove fat from a single area.

    Thanks a zillion to BodySpex and Jai for this video!
