FIX YOUR BACK PAIN

[@everclearacg]

Needed this one today. I’m hurting after deadlifting yesterday. I know what I’m doing tonight.

[@mistarmer]

Thanks for this Grant. I snapped my back doing heavy barbell rows a few days ago and needed to hear this.

[@sidrow11]

Practical protocol, thank you. Starting Bob and Brad program for shoulder mobility.

[@philocan426]

Deadlifted in flexion because I didn’t focus and pulled my low back. I really like the concept of finding the point that I can work with flatlined pain. And rebuild. I should be back where I left off in 2-3 weeks. And wiser to not recommit the same injury

[@ericshiwlall1688]

This technique really works. Grant is a miracle worker

[@ankush94]

The stretch is the yogic pose "Bhujangasana " viz Cobra Pose.

This is an incredible video

Grant, sorry to say I’m watching this video after “tweaking” my back squatting last month and then “re-tweaking” it during rack pulls last week. RP was easily top 3 pain I’ve felt in my life. Haven’t missed a session and it’s nice to have this as a guide to recovery. (As opposed to hitting heavy weights once I feel “okay”) Back pain is weird.

I learnt about the Mackenzie method years ago forgot all about it thanks for reminder I used it this morning between my squats and deadlifts

[@Mediagix]

This has helped. I used the info to train through the pain, used the cobra in the video, combined this with dead hangs and a stretch particular to me. Ty

[@rcmasse]

yeah this was good. I was trying to decide if i should go to the gym after tweaking my back, and after watching this I was able to set a new pr (since I started lifting again) even though I am sore

[@Specter257]

Bob and Brad have been great since they first started up. I can say that from first hand experience after traumatic injury, keep moving. This is great advice. After hip reconstruction the doctor said... keep moving. Love this channel. Keep em coming!

[@thestrengthco]

Thanks Brian!

[@skandalbanker]

Bob and Brad don't advocate deadlifts at all ...

[@davincibz1]

I have noticed that doing one mare overhead triceps extensions with a dumbell (30 pounds - 10-12 reps) strentches the lower back on each opposite side (of the arm used) and feel instantly better in my lombar area! Try it!

[@philliplockhart5853]

This was amazing!

[@YellowSiR]

Grant, what do you recommend regarding recent back pain and squats and presses? Would you scale down on the weights and build back up? Thanks for all the advice brother. I need to head to Costa Mesa for a form check.

[@Mediagix]

What about dead hangs?

[@JoshuaWatchesVideos]

My back pain is higher up, in the thoracic area. It doesn't prevent me from lifting (and lifting sometimes provides some temporary relief), but it's a constant problem at other times. Any advice for pain in that area specifically?

[@nicthompson661]

Well that was not my back pain I couldn't walk for 8 months. I had a level 9 pain the whole time. SS helped Bob and Brad did not. But what ever works. Inversion table helps me as well.

[@klevdavful]

And with all that being said and another thing you may have a weak glutamax a weak gluteus Minimus and a weak flute medius! All of these muscles tight into your lower back so get that squat up but always remember if you experiencing any type of chronic pain in your lower back just go ahead and stop I'd rather you stopped and injure yourself and be hurt for 6 months to a year or even longer

[@latticeworker]

Couldn’t agree with your “use and strengthen your back” advice! Having personally suffered with back pain for years and resolved it - virtually completely! - via regularly lifting using the Starting Strength method, I tell everyone that you (and Dr. Jonathan Sullivan and of course Mark Rippetoe) are the way💪

[@latticeworker]

I meant “Couldn’t agree MORE!” 😂

[@thestrengthco]

@@latticeworker Thanks Thomas!

[@horseman3222]

Kettlebells, yoga... Rip won't be happy...

[@thestrengthco]

SLIPPERLY SLOPE

[@joeygold24]

*doctor* lol

[@shaunmelville570]

You can tweak your back even if you don't lift. Amazing how self assured Dr's are, sure they're useful if you break your arm or something but their physical advice is almost always terrible.
