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

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

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

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

This is true. I tweaked my back deadlifting. I decided to deal with the issue by going back to the gym and deadlifting again the next week. I got better. I had experience with a knee injury and applied what I learned - rest is bad.

This technique really works. Grant is a miracle worker

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.

Yesterday i was planning to repeat my squat weight, as the previous session i wasnt hitting below parallel. Instead i added 5lbs, went below parallel, and felt pain in my back, i did finish my workout while exoeriencing some pain (same squat just didnt hit below parallel, bench felt fine, deadlift didnt make it feel worse). This next morning have lower back pain, and i plan to implement these suggestions to make sure i can return to the gym in two days.

This is an incredible video

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

This was amazing!

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!

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

@Mediagix 2 years ago

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

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.

@JoshuaWatchesVideos 4 years ago

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?

@patrickclosefitness 10 months ago

I would be extremely careful with this Cobra stretch. If you have a disc herniation it will probably help but if your issue in in your facet joints then over arching you back will make your symptoms worse

@YellowSiR 2 years ago (edited)

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 2 years ago

What about dead hangs?

@Specter257 4 years ago

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!
