More lifters need to watch this. I've had issues with hemorrhoids from lifting for years. Thankfully they're not too painful, but just annoying!

[@michellephysio]

Cheers for the comment & all the best!

[@lovedove2661]

I totally get you. Im acouple months into lifting and honestly if I had known you can get an external or internal hemorrhoid, I would have avoided heavy lifting all together. It is too late, since I was introduced to this in late September 2020, Im in love with it and it has affected me and has changed me for the worst down there. Like you said, it doesnt hurt, it is just so damn annoying especially when you have to move your bowels 😩.

[@lovedove2661]

@@emilynibaur2866 To be honest Emily, I saw my doctor and she told me to stop heavy lifting all together. It may not sound like much but I was barbell squatting 275lbs and when I stopped, did my cardio and isometric moves like just body weight squats, my quads shrunk bkz im quad dominant. My hemorrhoid didnt change, but when i have a bowel movement is it unpleasant. It doesnt hurt but I use wipes now to clean myself when I have a bowel movement, sucks but at least Im hygienic with it. Im happier without the heavy lifting to honest.

[@thunderthumbz3293]

@@lovedove2661 There is no need for women to lift heavy like that. Even for men the barbell back squat is an unnatural lift because of all the load placed directly above the spine. As far as I know hemorrhoids will have to be surgically removed in most cases.

Michelle thank you for sharing this!!!! I recently got back in the gym and loved the lighting while squatting but experienced my first hemorrhoid which is gone now but I see how it happened. Blessings to you🌹🌹🌹

[@joecaz]

This is really helpful! It's great hearing this from someone in your area of expertise. Top weight lifters are very knowledgeable in their field, but it's hard for the average guy to interpret advise from these pros. For example the breath hold during lifting, it adds great stability for heavy loads. But now we know, the average guy should build a strong pelvic floor as a foundation before taking on heavy loads. I'm going to start watching more of your tutorials.

[@michellephysio]

So glad this is helpful Joe, you're spot on - anyone/everyone lifting heavy loads (male/female) needs the pelvic floor as a strong foundation. You've summarised this perfectly! All the best

[@lovedove2661]

I totally agree. Ive been searching and searching for this information and have been told otherwise, hold your breath and wear a belt. This woman is amazing, thanks to her.

[@rajatthakur3058]

Hats off to this consultant. The moment I started increasing weights I got aware of this challenge . Hindered me mentally. . I have pretty good mobility. My core bracing was perfect , diaphragmatic breathing was perfect and was following ass to grass. Things I forgot that I realised after being aware of the body is that doing kegel( moolbandha in yoga ) while going down is very very important , belt should be only minimally tight so that with minimal breathing for bracing the cavity between trunk and belt fills ups , No extra wide stance, no delayed holding whilst down and exhale immediately , the moment one is up enough to attain stability for reracking. And wear something supportive to the inguinal and rectum region .

[@fredamaralfilho]

If I understood your explanation correctly, in the first part Jeff is doing a technically "perfect" squat, but, on the other hand, it is a technique that should be avoided by those who have hemorrhoid problems, at least in part, since we should avoid holding the breath, as well as not using a brace and not going down that much, as Jeff does, correct?

[@michellephysio]

Exactly Fred, Jeff’s squat technique is technical perfection and what many of us strive for however some aspects can be modified to allow continued squats in some guys (& women) with haemorrhoid issues/some rectal problems

Michelle, in addition to activating your core, should you be engaging your pelvic floor while doing all doing all exercises, for example, while doing bench press or standing curls?

[@michellephysio]

Great question Denis! Regular Kegels should improve the support so that this isn't necessary however having said this if you're able to contract prior to the deepest part of a squat and then throught the return to standing then this may also help too. The main thing is that you then completely relax your pelvic floor at the top of the squat and avoid overtensing (keeping the pelvic floor contracted can result in pelvic florr spasm). Let me know how you go if you have time, cheers

@Mr.awati3087 hi there! This squat technique reduces pressure off the pelvic floor so should lessen pelvic floor muscle tension. Deep squats increase pressure on the pelvic floor at the deepest part of the squat. Are you doing alot of core abdo exercise too? Intense core abdominal exercises cocontract the pelvic floor muscles so very important to avoid these along with practicing this pelvic floor relaxation technique for men here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJLGZpyeqrZkjdUsi=HMj3lCb7crKHoChk I hope this is helpful info for you and I wish you all the very best 🙏🏼

Thank you. All the things shown here did well, except one thing that literally destroyed my pelvic floor in past 4 months was “engaging pelvic floor during squats” it’s literally like doing kegels with every rep.
