Guys Who Got Lower Back Problems

[Bobby No Sex]

what workouts should i do if i have this problem. my lower back has been a problem of mine during my basketball days. just visited a chiropractor 2 weeks ago and i was feeling well. he even said that im good to go with lifting weights. and try to make my core and lower back strong so i can lift good. now the thing is im feeling like it's starting to get the feeling again of having real problems with it. what lower back workouts should i do?

deadlift is good but i ain't really feeling it especially with this problem. plus i think it's really useless for lower back and is more on hamstrings. maybe it's just me.

what are your thoughts on hyper extensions?

phuck chiropractors. see a real doctor, have emg tests - if nothing shows up have an mri. then, if your problem is not skeletal, they'll probably prescribe physical therapy.

already did that with the doctor. they said that it's all about muscle spasms. i did chiro and physical therapy. i don't know if my back hurts because of my old problems or because i worked it out again.

I have lower back problems. I don't do it myself, but I've heard from my pops, who has a history of back problems, that yoga is in fact the most effective method of addressing back pain, according to some studies he's read.

When it comes to lifting, good technique is the key (including lifting objects around the house). I've found that with good technique, I never have really had a problem. This even includes doing wrestling and judo, for the most part. There are situations in these sports where you find yourself in positions that could lead to bad ergonomics, but even in these sports good habits (especially when it comes to posture--conducive to performance in the sport as well) goes a long way. I think that in weight lifting it is sort of the same.

Chiropractic is nonsense. See a real doctor who can refer you to a physical therapist or a doctor specialising in sports medicine or musculoskeletal medicine.

As for your back trouble, it's like this: The ancestors of humans have for hundreds of millions of years been quadrupeds and before that were aquatic. The last three or so million years have seen us become bipedal, but it's left us with bad back muscles. Out backs are weak so what happens is that sometimes we will suffer from microscopic tears in the muscle. When that happens the back spasms which is much worse than the actual damage.

The key is to strengthen your back, but not with weighlifting which after all is going to make the issue worse.

Improve your core with bicycles and crunches and planks. But also do some targeted lower back exercises like lying on your front and doing leg raises. Raise one leg and hold it for 3-5 seconds then switch legs and repeat. I know a whole bunch of good exercises for this problem but they all amount to the same thing: Slowly and carefully increasing the muscle strength without straining them.

Stiff legged deadlifts. If you do them properly (technique being crucial), they'll nail your back aswell as your hammies. No if ands or buts about it. A biggie may be you needing to developing a mind muscle connection to your lower back, it may take a workout or two before you can concentrate on those muscles, making your workout way more effective.

As far as your core, there are many different exercises that hit it, both directly and indirectly. For instance squats strengthen your core.

agree with the yoga. most people that i have asked about told me this too.

i have been doing some deadlifts but i don't really go heavy. as long as my back and hammies gets worked out. little by little.
