I fucked up my lower back six months ago, diagnosed with sprained/strained lower back ligaments. I did physical therapy and since then I've not lifted.
Yesterday I got the same injury(feels the same) at work. I wasn't lifting anything heavy. How do I heal my lower back and prevent this from happening in my daily life and when I go back to lifting?

I tried this, and it helped me a little bit, to recover from a bad mattress and bad chair. I never really completely destroyed it or anything, just long mediocre to small amount of pain with all the function more or less.

Why is sumo nutrition so ridiculously stupid? Ive watched severel docus/YT vids now and their diet is just beyond stupid.
A typical sumo wrestler (including the world champion), eats a soup called 'chankonabe' every fucking day. Its a soup with shitloads of vegetables. And they drink quite alot of beer with it. FUCKING BEER. And they are actually convinced that the soup is very usefull for gaining weight. Now im quite happy for them that their hitting their micro's due to all the vegetables, and surely, they put quite some meat including fatty meats in there, but even with all the fatty meat, their fucking main meal still consists our of mainly water and vegetables. How can that ever be a good idea if your purpose is to get as fat as possible? And then they drink fucking beer, as if athletic performance means shit to them.
I say this is a case of a sport still living 500 years ago. There is such incredibly room for improvement here.

Than make the improvement and become rich.
It's seriously that easy. There's a lot of money and pussy in sumo wrestling to be had, so why not get to it, instead of shitposting on /fit/?

did a sumo wrestler rape you or something OP?

>been going to the gym for like 3 years
>doing all kinds of splits, but never really care about the weight, just do what feels good
>go to the gym for like atleast 4 times a week during those 3 years.
>i barely even look like a lift
>eventually i start a business and dont have alot of time to go to the gym anymore (i know its an excuse and a matter of priorities but i didnt go)
>eventually gym membership expires, havent been there in half a year
>decide to do some more workouts at home
>have 1 push day, 1 pull day and 1 leg day in a week
>pick 4 exercises on each day (example on push day: push ups, incline push ups, kettlebell shoulder press, kettlebell skullcrucher)
>design a solid program that add a tiny bit of reps or sets to 1 or 2 exercises each week
>focus entirely on slow reps, keeping the tension
>workouts last max 30min a day, 3 days a week
>i am literally bigger than ive even been
Moral of the story, progressive overload and controlled reps are 90% of your results. I seriously am so muscular atm that i absolutely have no intention to even go to the gym anymore. I am very happy with how i look.

Anyone had one of these? I felt a bulge in my groin and went to the medcheck. Doc told me I have a 50/50 chance of it being a hernia or swollen lymph nodes. Wtf /fit/, why me? Recovery time is 6-8 weeks post surgery without lifting...
They said I wont be called in until late next week for a CT scan, should I go ahead and lift until then? Seems pretty pointless if im going to be out for 2 fucking months

No, don't lift. If it is a hernia, you could make it worse. What you should do, is read on how to lift properly so it doesn't happen.

Problem is the entire doc is framed as a refutation of Super Size Me. It should have been its own thing and maybe directed a small portion of the film to aping Super Size Me's structure and format.
Just like all the novels written in direct response to The God Delusion and The Da Vinci Code, it will forever be a leech on another piece of culture and will be forgotten much faster than if it could stand alone.

Is it good?

>>42060386
It's "redpilled" in the worst sense of the word. Makes up a ridiculous conspiracy and uses pure rhetoric to make the audience think that what we know of nutrition science is all wrong and that it's actually the opposite that's true, but THE MAN doesn't want you to know.

I'm currently doing the texas method, and on volume day I do 3 sets of holding the weight I did for romanian deadlifts at top of a deadlift. If I get to a minute I increase the weight by 10 pounds next week.
>>
just do bouldering or manual labor, grip exercises don't work that well because your fingers have lots of weird positions that you won't hit with a barbell or dumbbell
if you insist of doing it the gym way or you have no other option do bar holds or farmer walks like a retard
>>
CoC grippers, deadlifts, towel pull ups.

>Almost 2018
>still using the word "Chad"
Chad is like a stereotype of a 2004 movie where a blonde guy go to college, to the beach with some girls and bullies the nerd of the school. Now it looks affeminate or even weak.
Why the fuck don't we use "Slayer"? is a masculine version of that without looking like a faggot and it's more rare.
