Back Strong & Beltless - Part I (artcle)
Paul Chek

Figure 10
Inner Unit and Outer Unit Synergy

A) If your outer unit is dominant over your inner unit, as you bend forward to pick up a load, a string placed around the waist will become tighter as you pass through the critical point (~90 percent lumbar flexion). If the load is significant enough to require activation of both inner and outer units, the string will have become loose as you bend forward and tight as you lift the load.

B) When the inner unit is strong enough to provide adequate stabilization, you will stay under the stabilization threshold as you pass through the sticking point. Staying under the stabilization threshold is indicated by the fact that the rectus abdominis and external oblique musculature have not shortened and thickened, pressing on the string.


-using the string I mentioned. Not sure if Chek came up with that ort got it somewhere but I got it from him..

Can use with all exercises that I can think of.
