Back Bridging

[Strikeforce]

I was just wondering what exactly Back bridging does??? i find it's made my lower back stronger, is is more for balence or flexability?

Is the back bridge the same as the wrestler's neck bridge ?

 

[Reakt]

it strengthens the neck

Back bridge? Scroll down until you see "Bridges"



Neck bridge:

Oh, in wrestling we used to call those neck bridges "back bridges" and when your face and belly face the ground they were "front bridges"

Makes your spine more mobile. If your neck is envolved its stretches/strengthens your neck as well.

back bridges are amazing. i did them everyday for a while. now i do them as a part of a warm up or warm down. they made my back a lot more flexible and noticably stronger. i dont have back pain really any more, and i feel i have more energy just by doing them.

It stops you getting pinned.

I call those "glute thrusts".
