Most people (especially bodybuilders) complain that it's a lot of lower back work. Same goes for DFHT. It's really not once you get used to it. Powerlifters focus on tons of lower back work and it translates really well for all compound lifts. To put it in perspective, I'm doing a modified westside routine right now. Today's exercises that smoked my lower back include: (in order)
- Power squats (1 RM)
- Platform deadlifts (1 RM)
- Olympic squats (2 x 10)
- Pullthroughs (3 x 12) ss w/
- Weighted Hyperextensions (2 x 10)
No lower back soreness to comment on since I'm used to the loading.
