Verde Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 w squats, cleans, etc you want to start low, use your legs, and use a stiff postured straight lift. Don't slouch with weights in hand or it will drain your lower back and neck. I am suffering with a lower back problem because I started a core workout with too much weight and bad lifts.

KSJets Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 It's so easy to F your back.. All it takes is a sneeze sometimes. No kidding. I screwed mine up from a sneeze once. My chiropractor asked me what happened and I told him it was embarrassing and after I told him it was from a sneeze, he told me that it's really common and he sees it all the time.

Panzer Division Marduk Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I managed to put my back out leaning down to switch my computer. Off work for 3 weeks. Anybody beat that for a ridiculous way to put out your back? Hope the back gets better BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 2 days before a 6 hour cross country flight Saturday morning..****! I have an emergency call into my legendary chiropractor..the electric stimulus machine is being warmed up..this 70 year old man can snap an apple in half with those damn hands. I hope I can get a quick fix on this or the sky Vodka will be doing whirlpool action over the skies of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanTX Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Tell me about it. but being on a plane is like ****ing agony with that ****. Buy those 8-hour heat patches at a drugstore. They work real good if you are sitting for a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Do you use a belt? He shouldn't use a belt. There's a common misconception that belts aid the back. So much so that there are even belts that are incorrectly tapered to be larger in the back than the front. A proper belt should be the same width all the way around. They are actually designed to aid your stomach and obliques far more than your lower back. When you squeeze your core ab muscles against the belt when doing a heavy lift (such as a deadlift) it acts as a leverage aid. Kind of like the ground acts as leverage for your legs. The belt is sort of a platform for your abs and obliques to "push" against. The problem is your core does not get the full brunt of the weight when you use the belt, therefor it's not getting as much exercise as it would without the belt. In the long run this actually makes you weaker and more prone to injuries. Secondly, because people mistakenly think that the belt aids or protects the back, it tends to lead to more injuries because people invariably end up trying to lift more than they should thinking they have a safety net in the belt. The truth is a belt should only be used sparingly if at all. If you are going to use it, it should only be during exercises with very heavy weights and very low reps, such as the 2-4 range. Anything higher than that should not be done with a belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks to all of those concerned. I just got back from getting some intense cracking and I feel much better. I did a lot of crunches after I got back and then turned over on my stomach and did the old raising opposite arms and legs to strengthen the old back muscles a bit. I feel much better, thank gawd.
