Can you provide a … Can you provide a link? I googled it and couldn't find anything that simply explained the problem.
Unfortunately, not … Unfortunately, not a good exercise. Yes, read McGill…to much compression and shearing forces on the lumbar spine. An exercise to totally avoid.

At that time there … At that time there have been different ways to measure stuff and different ideas about fitness. The old model of endurance for example and that running in a fat burning is the best way to shed fat.
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 strange in such a motion is quite unnecessary.

What about this … What about this study: Biering-Sorensen F., "Physical Measurements As Risk Indicators for Low Back Trouble 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 torso 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 think even for … I think 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 good with ankle weights and dumbbells.
How exactly can it … How exactly can it create sheer forces when there's no load on the spine at all?
Jai,
You need to … Jai,
You need to check out Stuart McGill 'Biomechanics of Back Pain'.
Superman creates 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 information has been out there for 5 years.
You should know it.
Instead, do Quadriped Hip Extension. Neutral spine, co-contract abdominal stabilizers with hip (not lumbar) extensors.
Check out this video.
a mixture of cardio … a mixture of cardio and strength along with a healthy diet will remove body fat throughout your body, it is difficult to remove fat from a single area.
Thanks a zillion to BodySpex and Jai for this video!
Does those … Does those excersices get ride of lower back fat?
Love you man thnx
