I won't have health insurance for another month. Anything to do in the meantime?

deadlift meme claims another victim

every day

you can injure your back deadlifting and not even know it until you go pickup a lightweight object days later and throw your back out. that's why weightlifting injury rates seem low is 99% of the injuries manifest themselves doing something else then they blame it on their job or sports.

bottom line is heavy lifting is retarded. do more reps less weight and feel the burn

Oh great it's this guy again.

Find me a person who has lifted heavy with good form to whom what you claim happens has happened. You fucking won't. Because it doesn't happen.

Just admit that you catback dl'd your way to a hefty surgical bill because you were 300lbs overweight and fuck off back to /r9k/.

he said he injured his back deadlifting and is still injured from it. what part do you think this from? tomatard

OP, everyone else is going to argue about heavy vs light weight, so I'll try to help. I have a similar issue, but I don't think it's your obliques hurting you, it's probably your piriformis muscle. Get a tennis or lacross ball, and look up piriformis muscle massages/stretches, which'll hopefully help you. I'm slowly recovering too, and it sucks.

google it. heavy lifting injuries are fucking rampant. nearly every well known long time lifter has suffered multiple catastrophic injuries. the rest are normal people who give up after severely fucking their back and you never hear from them again because they quit. the internet has a way of breeding like minded people and you're one of the many victims of it

You clearly didn't read because I asked for help, not your shitty opinion.

I didn't ask your opinion for the type of response you want either my little meme victim

>>38630366
Thanks, I'll make sure to try it.

Nearly every well known long time lifter is a competitive athlete. Competitive athletes injure themselves in the pursuit of a better competitive performance. They don't give a fuck about their health as long as they're able to perform.

It's perfectly safe to lift heavy with correct technique, and the benefits are undeniable. It might actually be said that humans aren't physiologically normal without it. If you don't want to that's fine - it's your life to waste. But for the love of God go and bitch about it somewhere else like the rest of the fatties, orthorexic weirdos, and amateur doctors do.

lowe back injuries take a hella long time to heal, I went to physio, waste of time and money, just do some bodyweight lower back exercises that dont cause you pain and stick to the machines when training legs for a bit.

Deadlifts and squats are a fucking disaster waiting to happen. I can't imagine why anyone old enough to know injury and permanent damage would agree to try them even once.

I've had lower back pain a few times and it was really painful. Same reasons you are (squatting and deadlifting) but I think I had messed up a disk. I stayed away from both for a good while to heal. I did the best I could to work around my pain. Still worked calves. Used leg machines like extensions and did weighted lunges. For back, I didnt work on my lower back till the pain completely went away but I did what I could like one arm rows, pull ups, and as the pain went away I started off lower back with hyperextensions for the lower back. Get a weight belt to help keep your form will you have pain. It's scary to go through but over time the pain went away and I've gained back all my strength. If you have any questions just ask.

Get a foam roller and a lacrosse ball or rollout peanut. I have had back injuries that would have taken a few weeks to heal without these tools heal in days.
