Watch Dr. Mercola perform dumbbell rows for your back muscles.
This is great exercise to increase the strength and endurance of the muscles in your back, both the postural muscles that hold your back up, as well as the power muscles like your latisimuss dorsi. If you have a back injury, or have had back injuries in the past, you should consult your physician before you attempt this exercise.
Your back muscles are some of the strongest muscles in your whole body. In a golf swing, your back muscles are used extensively to rotate your spine, whilst keeping your posture as well as providing the power for the downswing. So it is very important to condition your back not just for a powerful swing, but also for the stability needed to achieve that in the first place.
Remember when you are doing these dumbbell rows, to keep your lower back in a neutral position. The danger here is that you do not want to round your lower back too much, as this can be dangerous if prolonged and can cause herniated discs in your spine. Make sure you do this exercise slowly, and do not jerk the weights.
