Unfortunately, not a excellent exercise. Yes, read McGill…to much compression and shearing forces on the lumbar spine. An exercise to really avoid.

At that time there …
At that time there have been different ways to measure stuff and different thoughts about fitness. The ancient develop of endurance for example and that running in a stout burning is the best way to shed stout.
The Superman is not a very functional exercise due to its position. I doubt you will ever want to run around in hyperextension of your lumbar spine.
As this is a position you dont want to be in in the first place, isometric weird in such a motion is reasonably excessive.

What about this …
What about this study: Biering-Sorensen F., “Physical Measurements As Risk Indicators for Low Back Vex Over a One-Year Period,” Spine, Vol. 9, No. 2, 1984, pp. 106-119. They conclude that the only predictor for lower back pain was isometric strength in a superman like exercise (holding your trunk against gravity for around a minute was the cut off).

Limb weight = mass
…
Limb weight = mass
Mass x gravity = force
Force x lever arm = torque
Torque is a force that tends to cause rotation.
When no rotation can occur because the spine is hyperextended and the facets are compressed then shear forces arise.
Just read McGill.

I reckon even for …
I reckon even for people who can do it with all limbs at once, doing individual opposite limbs is still very useful.
Also, I wonder if it would be excellent with ankle weights and dumbbells.

How exactly can it …
How exactly can it make sheer forces when there’s no load on the spine at all?
March 8th, 2010 at 2:36 am
Jai,
You need to …
Jai,
You need to check out Stuart McGill ‘Biomechanics of Back Pain’.
Superman makes excessive shear forces at the facets and the annular fibers. DON’T DO IT!
I don’t want to yell at you, man, but this in rank has been out there for 5 years.
You must know it.
As a replacement for, do Quadriped Hip Extension. Neutral spine, co-narrow abdominal stabilizers with hip (not lumbar) extensors.
Check out this video.

a mixture of cardio and strength along with a healthy diet will remove body stout throughout your body, it is hard to remove stout from a single area.
Thanks a zillion to BodySpex and Jai for this video!
