lower back thread

Squats fucked up your back, dead hang during pull ups made it better because gravity pulls your spinre into correct alignment.

I think you go to low during squats? I had this problem where my lumbar would wink in at the bottom. Look up squat wink and see if you can recognize it. Everyone's not made to squat to the grass.

>makes sense
in that case, today may be the day i quit squats :(

my form is good, i even deloaded to baby weight (2pl8) to make sure my form was on point

is there any alternative other than stop doing squats?

>>41424326
i squat ass to grass religiously :(
that sounds exactly like it anon...
>solution?
i dont wanna be that guy who half-reps... im proud of my squat!

Where exactly does your lower back hurt.
Most likely a muscle issue, there's a bunch of stabilizing muscles that get inflamed from minor asymmetry/form issues.

Then you'll also learn how to be proud of your fucked up spine.

Kek deadlifts are even worse. Get your prostate checked before doing anything rash. An inflamed prostate for whatever reason, is a common source of lower back pain. Don't neglect to stretch in the meantime.

dont fuck with me anon, r-really?

i have a physio appointment tomorrow so... we'll see (fingers fucking crossed.... :'( )

>>41424634
with the hex bar, i feel literally zero lower back pain or tension - just feel the muscles working as they should. (pic related)

>>41424587
Probably a muscle strain caused by uneven loading so a muscle works overtime. Might not be related to squats. Either find a sports doctor or figure out yourself which exactly muscle is the issue, and why is it hurting. Probably nothing serious but shows you have a strength imbalance.

If you're joining the military I'd drop all lower body work for two months before you join to give the muscle time to recover and heal.

>point taken, this is good advice
not really a huge problem, since my daily runs and swimming/treading water blast my legs pretty well anyways

i need to move away from lifting and towards cardio in the coming months anyway... cheers

All you need for your posterior are bridges. Pic related is back bridge, there are also neck and glute bridges.

>>41424752

I was worried about ole Billy Red Tits, his sciatica was boarding chronic pain. Thankfully he got proper treatment and it went away.

Your form sucks, most likely buttwink? Try to stretch your glutes and hamstrings as well

How do you sleep? Do you sit a lot during the day? Does the chair have lower back support?

Make sure you sleep on your back, if you are have lower back pain. Doing that will allow your body to heal faster. If you have a desk job, make sure you have a nice chair.
