There is A LOT OF LOWER BACK WORK. If your lower back is not up to this, recommend using supported rows (1-arm DB, hammer, supported T-bar, etc) or "easier rows" (cable rows) of some sort while you condition your lower back.

Well, my lower back is well "conditioned" but it is sensitive because of a previous injury. I'm not sure I understand the rationale behind performing GHR's and reverse hypers on the same day twice a week. Part of a GHR is still a hyper. When you combine it with rows and deads that sure is whole lot like the man said. But I wouldn't want to do "easy rows" in order to do so many extensions.
I'd certainly like to keep the GHR's cuz I've been itching to do them anyway. But this amount of lower back punishment I think goes beyond conditioning for me into the realm of walking around bent over in pain for a couple weeks.
So what do I do? Should I skip the hypers altogether? Or substitute somehting else? Or skip the GHR and do somehing else for hammies? I'd appreciate any and all suggestions since I'm gonna run with 0311's redesign come hell or high water.
