guys i hurt my lower back doing SSB like 4 weeks ago and i'm going to the clinic today. It only hurts after I squat normally, been foam rolling it and stretching and everything to try to fix it but it still hurts. I don't have any pain/numbness in my feet or hips or anything like that. Is the doctor gonna tell me this isn't serious? I can still move around and stuff
>yes i squated with my lower back hurting >yes it hurts much more afterwards >yes i continued to do it regardless for the last 4 weeks >yes i am retarded
if it hurts don't do it, retard. You probably turned a 2 week recovery injury to an 8 week one
Jason Kelly
Am I gonna need surgery
Wyatt Barnes
Give it time, man. I hurt my back 4-5 weeks ago squatting, just getting better now.

my left hip has been in pain for the past month or so. stopped doing squats and diddlies and started rolling it out but nothing changed. I can't even properly locate tho source of pain, though I think it might be my hip flexor. wat do?
Ethan Sanchez
only for your brain
Jacob Allen
had a similar pain from squats. what helped a lot was widening my stance to about shoulder width since it was quite close before
Brody Carter
Is it a sharp pain at the top of the hip like really close to your dick? I had it in the exact spot and what fixed it was making my stance more narrow He says widening your stance but only do it if your stance was way too narrow to beginn with. Shoulder width is definitely recommended.
Thomas Hernandez
fug cut me up doc
Caleb Nelson
so i just foam rolled it for a good 20 minutes followed by a lacrosse ball followed by some more foam rolling for another 10 minutes and I have to say that the pain was like maybe a 7 or 8, and now it's maybe a 4
still going to doctor
Camden Bennett
had the same problem as you. people often say that back problems originate in the hips and it was true for me. stop squatting, stretch you hips. and consider doing yoga or something that strengthens your core and stabilizers, at least that helped me a ton.
yeah, I can feel it at the bottom of my abdomen, near my groin when squatting. but when not doing anything it's more on the outside of my hip. my stance is more or less shoulder width.
Austin King
do you think you had a bulging disc
Cameron Cox
there is a ligament between my femur and pelvis that keeps being painful every time i squat. just one one side too. really awkward area to stretch as well. trying to do hip flexers and fire hydrants but that shit didnt help much
John Jackson
I was worried about that for a while so I got an xray done and everything was in order
Jacob Peterson
so basically you just had stiff hips and weaker core?
Jackson Powell
foam rolling is a meme stretching shall be avoided at all costs, I'd point you to McGill's latest manual but I'm in a hurry (the take home point is that static stretching is a meme and total quackery unless it's fixing asymmetries) moreover, WHY DO YOU ASK HERE WHAT YOUR DOCTOR WILL SAY GO TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST ffs
Jayden Sanders
>stop squatting, stretch you hips. and consider doing yoga or something that strengthens your core and stabilizers this faggot. Ignore him totally.
Carson Fisher
yup
Parker Nguyen
>going to the clinic
you're wasting time and money, you hurt it again, you made the recovery longer, you don't need to go in
Liam Allen
what should i do then senpai
Camden Nelson
anyone got tips for shoulder pain from benching?
my form is pretty good

Ian Foster
I had 4 hernias and two months later it still hurts to lift anything over 20-30lbs I want to die.
Christian Mitchell
Hey guys just got back from the clinic. I told the doctor what I told you guys, he made me do some exercises, and he told me I simply have a strained back and the reason why it wasn't healing before was because I kept putting strain on the injury. Basically, in ~10 days with lighter weights and lots of stretching and I should be fine because I'm young and otherwise in good health.
Getting a lot of cracking and popping all over my body, especially in the shoulders. There's no pain, but I'm not sure if I have shoulder impingement from later raises since it sometimes feels like they're popping "into place."

>stretching shall be avoided at all costs That's not even what the things you posted said >Do all athletes need stretching? Some do and some don't. Do some mobilizing exercise approaches such as "yoga" and "pilates" work? They help some and hurt others. >The moral of the story is that there needs to be a rationale for stretching
Chase Collins
VERY good feet
Brandon Roberts
5/??? Stretching should be _AVOIDED AT ALL COST_ to "CURE" back pain. See when you're not in charge of cherry-picking. I'll post the whole PDF eventually, I can't be bothered to spoon-feed or enter in an argument with any of you. "yoga" and "pilates training" is dubbed: "FAD TRAINING", no more no less.

Ana De Armas she was in bladerunner 2049 good movie watch it
Kevin Lewis
Is the pain evenly spread throughout your back?
I have the same issues, it's called Spondylosis - a series of tiny fractures in your lower spine
I got mine from rugby, but you can also get it from squatting/diddlying with shit form, there's no cure / fix other than PT and not having shit form
tl;dr: look up spondylosis, enjoy having your back hurt forever.
Kevin Rogers
I broke the lower portion of my upper arm this week. The doctor opted for a 'conservative treatment and didn't operate me nor did he put me in a cast. Instead he put my arm in a support bandage.
How can I speed up my recovery using nutrition? How do I maintain as much muscle mass as possible during the 2-4 months I won't be able to train my upper body?
Angel Jackson
>started ICF a little while ago >can't tell if this feeling in my lower back is pain or soreness >if pain, not sure if it comes from working out or recently starting sedentary job
fuck me i don't want to injure myself but i wanna get less DYEL
Jason Wood
There really isnt much you can do brother. Just eat well, do cardio and accept that some mass and strength loss is inevitable. The gains will come back ridiculously quick once you're fully healed up. You can still train legs with machines tho
Camden Peterson
I know, it sucks. I think I'm going to up my protein intake and lower my carbs so I don't end up fat at the end of this ride. Also gonna supplement on bcaa's and magnesium/calcium
looks like a solid 7 to me your standards are too high

I hurt my lower back in 2012
Went to the hospital, said I was fine Xrays found nothing Went to another doctor, said it was fine Xrays again found nothing Went to a physical therapist, didn't help Went to multiple masseuses, didn't help Went to a chiropractor, didn't help either
Still get intense pain leaning over the sink to brush my teeth.
Worst come to worst, look up a muscle chart and try to pin point exactly what muscle is giving you problems, then look up how do stretch that exact muscle. For me, it was the erector spinae and things are finally starting to feel better once I looked into it myself.
Angel Walker
my left shoulders been acting up lately. it's not really noticable on anything other than ohp, just a sharp sting in the middle of it but I noticed it must be really fucked up because of benching and other movements.
it like rises up higher in this weird half shrug anytime I extend my arms, even without pain.
Ryan Evans
L-Glutamine/Arginine should increase your HGH levels slightly, sleep more, once the bone is set better take nsaids before sleeping to reduce inflamation and allow faster healing.
Cameron Ross
You've probably sprained your back. I did it too and it takes a few weeks to fully heal. Just take a week or so off and then be extra careful with your form, make sure you're not leaning too far forward, which is what probably caused it in the first place. It'll go away as long as you rest it and improve your form. Still see the doc about it though.
Levi Williams
>nsaids They presribed me paracetamol and tramadol for now
Dominic Rivera
Can anyone explain to me why my wrist sprain was temporarily relieved of pain after I did some heavy wrist curls? It didn't hurt to scratch my back for a few minutes
Dylan Wilson
Don't use tramadol, It's like heroin.
Ryder Smith
Don't be a pussy tramadol is great. Now for OPs back problem: What you can try to do is to stretch your lower back, your glutes, hamstrings and hip flexors. I often hurt my back after a leg day because those muscles shorten and pull on my back. Stretching and foam rolling helps a ton. Also, do that gay exercise where you're on all fours and you slowly arch and round your back.
Joseph Campbell
i've felt a really sharp and burning pain on my adonis belt while deadlifting 360lbs trying a new pr, it got bruised and a little bump, i went to a doctor and he told me it was just an inflamation on a specific muscle fiber, is my doctor retarded?
Blake Richardson
Yes, that is complete nonsense. From a physio. It may be an inguinal hernia. Go to a real doctor
Ayden Wilson
did you honestly quote mark " DO NOT RUN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE" Rippetoe ?
Luke Perez
X-rays are useless. You should do an MRI and consult a back specialist. Probably you have a slightly bulging disc like I do. The pain will never go away. The only thing you can do are cortisone infiltrations - those will stop the inflammation for awhile.
If you had a back problem, you should wait until the inflammation is gone before starting to work on your back.
Now to stretching. If portions of your back aren't flexible enough, other parts will have to compensate for that lack of mobility. Ex. If the thoracic part of the back is stiff, the lower back must flex more to compensate and thus is under much more pressure. If you combine this with an injury in the lower back, that's a perfect receipt for disaster. Therefore you should stretch on your recovery days.
Adrian James
>the lower back must flex more to compensate > you should stretch on your recovery days. Never, under any circumstances, is recommended TO ANYONE to "flex the lower back". At all. Who? Absolutely not. But I see it's impossible to defuse broscience with actual science on a Thai MtF support board.
Dominic Turner
>The pain will never go away. lower back issues are almost never a life sentence if treated properly, even without surgery. In the worst case (but best treated) scenario) in a decade you have recovered completely.
Camden Lewis
>you should wait until the inflammation is gone before starting to work on your back this, as a blanket statement, is both correct and incorrect (but mostly incorrect). Most people (especially DYEL noobs) who "feel" a post-exercise back pain are actually experiencing DOMS and cramps in the skeletal muscle tissues. For them, the best approach is to keep exercising with lighter loads (even with an empty barbell) and to focus completely on form. Stopping altogether won't fix the issue. If the pain refers to the skeletal tissues, the trainee should be able to tell them apart with decompression exercises (dead hangs or standing vertical on dip bars with locked elbows and tucked in scapulae), moving the feet slightly to the left and to the right with the core muscles. If an inflammation of the vertebrae is positively returned, he should stop doing the compound exercise(s) that led him to that situation but he should also start doing (safe) exercises to strengthen the core.
Justin Reyes
For now I need it though. They didn't operate me nor did they put my arm in a cast so it hurts like hell
Joseph Jenkins
to perform well, you need basic flexibility and strength. if you lack either or both, you end up like OP. this is not about world class athletes, this is about having a good platform to lift. t. former cripple
David Cruz
>to perform well, you need basic flexibility this is a given. >this is not about world class athletes, this is about having a good platform to lift. it's no different.
David Flores
I snapped my Achilles and didn't do legs/cardio for a year :(
Henry Robinson
got back from doctors see he specifically told me to stretch out my hips, hip flexors, hamstrings, and do Supermans at the gym but slow and controlled and pause at the bottom for 5 seconds. I took some Advil and my gf rubbed A535 all over my back last night and I could bend over to make my bed this morning so it's pretty good. Stretched this morning according to doctors orders following basically this: artofmanliness.com/2014/08/05/undo-the-damage-of-sitting/
and I'm feeling already tons better. Today was my Push day at the gym, so I just took it easy on bench press by doing 3x12 with a lighter weight and skipped OHP (because I already have a history of overextending my spine on that exercise, have since fixed this by using a belt) and did machines for everything else.
Easton Davis
also, I'm skipping my pendlay rows, squats, and deadlifts for the next two weeks while keeping up with the stretching and supermans. The doctor said I could keep lifting the same as I always do and we went over my routine (3x2-5, so heavy weights) but to change to lighter weights and only do the exercises if I feel comfortable doing them.
Grayson King
>he specifically told me to stretch out my hips, hip flexors, hamstrings, and do Supermans at the gym stopped reading ad "Supermans". That's the worst possible exercise, for both an healthy and a bad back. Change doctor. Rest, do light exercises with focus on form (the "pause at the bottom" is irrelevant) and google McGill crunch, McGill bird dog and other similar exercises. Don't fucking stretch the lower back and for God's sake, don't compress the spine with Superman (600 newtons). You could heal even despite the stretching and the superman, but that's a "despite".
Xavier Ward

John Thomas
>600 *6000
Julian Phillips
it's useless, there are a bunch of doctors still prescribing "just stretch it out bro, btw do these exercises that will fuck it up even more but hey they'll desensitize the area so you won't feel pain" it can't be helped, old farts won't keep themselves updated
Christopher Hernandez
He looks 50. Either way he's obviously a rump roaster. this >5/10 nah she's well above average.
Austin Sanchez
So since I’m in college and the gym was too full yesterday I decided to do some bodyweight stuff. While doing towel rows, it seems I was only using the medial head of my triceps and not my back. they’re either the most sore I’ve ever been or strained. Does anyone know why I wasn’t using my back? I’ve never done towel rows and have no clue what I did wrong.
Dominic Jackson
vitamin D and dont move that arm at all. I dont get it why he didnt cast it... The less arm is moved the better callus will form and quicker it will heal.
Hudson Thompson
