After 4 surgeries … After 4 surgeries and a lifetime of lower back injury, my doctor has approved me to begin this exercise routine. I will keep you updated on my progress as I am hoping to qualify for the police academy come February. Thanks for the video.
Be careful with … Be careful with squats. Poor technique and overtraining with squats + stiff leg dead lifts caused me injury + resultant sciatica 10 yrs ago. It took a while for it to resolve. It even returns every now and then.
Your problem could be poor technique, lifting too heavy, or even genetics. You will be more prone to back injuries if you lack a lumbar lordosis (backwards curvature of lowe back). I suggest consulting a physiotherapist. (I’m a doctor, and I get advice from physios at work).
I really like your … I really like your style, very direct and clear. Great examples of how not to do it without being patronising. I will let you know how I go. Cheers
Good Question – In … Good Question – In an effort to maintain or gain a neutral alignment of the spine it is my suggestion to omit the large internal rotators of the shoulder so as not to perpetuate forward shoulders and reduced lumbar lordosis resulting in pain. If you are sure that your spinal posture is good, you can continue to do them. Please note that they are not the root cause of back pain normally, but rather the ommission of these exercises serves as an adjunct to the back ex routine.
I think they would … I think they would iritate an already in pain person. The important thing with back pain is correcting the muscle imbalances before you do any strengthening work otherwise you just wind the body up tighter and stronger with the same twists or tilts that set up the pain in the first place.
I just feel that … I just feel that the exercises shown are for more of an advanced trainer where the unconditioned could hurt themselves. however, you have positive reviews from people here so your methods obviously work. you mention weights but you are using weights doing the lateral flexion exercises but as I say, everyone is different so there are no clear cut exercises to be done which can say they are the best. All the best in your training!!
Yes but very strict … Yes but very strict and with light weight. There is no unnatural movement of the lumbar spine then. keeping the barbell off the floor and using the ‘get set’ position. lowering under control and no jerking or reps hitting the floor. Not using it as a power exercise. just keeping the muscles…the multifidus and quadratus lumborum under tension. This way there is no hyperextending of the spine and back remains neutral. It has worked for a few of my clients. Sorry about last comment
you want a person … you want a person whose had back problems and/or back surgery to start doing deadlifts, even with perfect form theres still stress on ur lower back, bit of a stupid comment. u want to substitue a body weight exercise with using weight built deadlifts?
