A properly equipped garage gym offers cost-effective and versatile workout opportunities, including essential equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, benches, and squat racks.
A series of exercises can target the lower back, a key component of the core muscle group responsible for various movements, with suggestions including back extensions for specificity.
The workout is structured considering the average male metrics (5’10”, 180lbs, 35 years old), however, exercise adaptation is encouraged based on individual abilities.
Focusing on the broader back area, exercises like rows, pull-ups, and lat pulldowns can effectively strengthen the musculature, enhancing overall fitness and posture.
