Low Back Hypertrophy Focus. How do?

If someone wanted to do a block where the focus specifically included hypertrophy of the low back musculature, what considerations and recommendations would you advise as far as movement selection/execution, rep range, frequency, etc.?

I assume there are more answers than just “get your Deadlift to 700.”

Thanks!

I wouldn’t recommend focusing on hypertrophy of the low back, though it wouldn’t be any different than training any other body part with respect to movement selection (execution is mostly irrelevant), rep ranges, and frequency.

In short, this isn’t a special situation, but having no idea what you’re doing right now for your lower back…it’s hard to tell you what to do.

Thanks for the response! Are there any particular reasons you would recommend against a low-back hypertrophy focus as opposed to, say, calves?

I wouldn’t recommend either really unless you were wanted bigger calves and otherwise weren’t going to train the muscles. The low back responds pretty well to isometric work and doesn’t tend to need a lot of specialization. I’d rather see you focus on training other things than your lower back directly.
