Newer Female Grapplers, Effective Ways To Strengthen Your Back
February 28, 2023,
Possibly a muscle you hardly think about.
Until something goes wrong.
Then you will think about it.
All day.
Be in pain too.
May make you lie down.
The back muscles are not glamorous. How many sexy photos have you seen of a top model sporting her back muscles? Abs, yes. Back muscles? Hardly.
Your back muscles may be likened to the linemen who fight it out in the trenches, helping to make sure that the other moving parts, often glamorized, perform their duty and get the glory.
Having said that, in terms of being sexy, the female back does have a place in history.
The curvature of the female back is a frequent theme in paintings, because the sensibilities of many cultures permit the back to be shown nude, implying full nudity without actually displaying it.
The practice of showing explicitness on the lower back has been performed for centuries.
We always love a little history but today, we are looking at being practical.
If you are a newer female submission wrestler, strengthening your back muscles are critical.
In a fully competitive match, be aware what organs are near the back.
The lungs are within the ribcage, and extend to the back of the ribcage making it possible for them to be listened into through the back. The kidneys are situated beneath the muscles in the area below the end of the ribcage, loosely connected to the peritoneum. A strike to the lower back can damage the kidneys of the person being hit. Hence, the importance of strengthening that region.
Let’s start by turning on a couple of videos that demonstrate how you can strengthen your back muscles.
We have featured fitness Holly Dolke before. For good reason.
At her YouTube channel she smiles, “Welcome Beauties! I’m Holly Dolke and I’m here to make you feel unstoppable. I share the best health tips, fitness workout videos and motivation to help you achieve a flat stomach and your dream body. Let’s get healthy and stay fit together, by subscribing to keep right up to date and motivated on your fitness journey.”
Sounds great.
What we like about this video is that you can begin the journey of strengthen your back muscles without using a single weight. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COwGXr1RIlI
Perhaps one more.
We have also featured the team at Nourish Move Love, who do a sensational job of instructing their audience on how to get and remain fit.
Here is their message, “Welcome to NML! I’m Lindsey Bomgren, Certified Personal Trainer + Pre-and-Postnatal Fitness Instructor AND mom of 3 littles. As a busy mom I’m all about quick and effective home workouts that get results!
I truly feel that doing the physically hard stuff makes you more capable of handling all the mentally challenging things that come at you daily. I don’t film workout videos to give you six pack abs or a nice butt.
I film workout videos because I know fitness makes me a better wife, mother, friend and human and I want to share that with you.
I pray you find the workout inspiration + motivation you were seeking when you stumbled over here. Give me 10-30 minutes of your time today and I bet you’ll come back for more tomorrow! Pray often. Move your body. Eat your veggies. Love others + yourself.”
Now that is a message we can get behind.
Check out her energy as she educates you on how to strengthen your back muscles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzTG_Psmd9U
Very good.
Sometimes print can be just as effective.
Time to walk over to the bookstore.

Good to know.
In our reviews of one fully competitive female submission wrestling video after another, it is extremely important for you to develop a strong back. You will be bent backwards, sideways and crunched. Sometimes painfully so. Having said that, it is important to accept that your back muscles are some of your most important core wrestling muscles.
We sense the above information could be helpful to you.
If the exercises are applied properly, you should have the need for fewer comebacks.
