Back pain from slipping punches?

Second that.

 

Thats right --- use your legs.
Bending the head and bending at the waist should be minimal.

 

this week i suffered lower bag pain after a tuff conditioning workout over the weekend. to avoid straining the back any further I have put the middle core activities on hold until the back feels better which I expect very soon. as well, i am icing my back for most of the night after my daily run.

 

if your having pain in your lower back specifically then you need to find workouts specificly for that area, "Good Mornings" are a great workout for that because if your not used to bringing your hips down like i was, this will flex the muscles in your hips.:good

 

I wouldn't recommend starting with good mornings if you have lower back pain. They are quite an advanced exercise (usaully done by power lifters). If you do, keep the weight really really light... A much better exercise would obviously be back extensions to start, with progession leading into deadlifts, or even starting with lighter deadlifts.

edit: also, after the initial injury, ice doesn't really help that much. Ice helps to reduce swelling and trauma right after the injury. 24 - 48 hours after it though, i believe you may be better off with heat eg: rice heat bag. This is to increase bloodflow to the area and stimulate repair and growth. Of course, if you keep re-straining it every day then ice would help...

 

this exercise is also like a stretch so it can be used for pain because you dont need to use weights to use it effectively. Just using a bar or nothing at all but a ledge to bend over and that will suffice. Using no weights stretches the muscles, using weights builds more muscle in that area.

 

**** ya.
Dead liftd, power squats, hyper extensions.
****in great for a back sprain.
Go for it.
Lets see how ****in stupid you can be.

 

lmao:yep

 

Look at me, i drop the f bomb and use sarcasm, i must be cool.

you obviously dont do the exercises while STILL INJURED.

the exercises are meant to build strength in the back once recovered.



and to panther: fair point about no wieghts, i assumed u meant with wieghts.

 

definetly cool beans:thumbsup

 

strengthen your core and use your knees more.

 

The injury.
Back sprain.
The solution --- deadlifts, hyper extensions, squats.
Ya -- right.

 

the eccentric motion of dropping down but stopping your self with your legs causes your hamstrings to tighten up with your hamstrings tight it forces your hip cradle back and down forcing your lower back to make up for the lack of movement in your hips resulting in back pain.

do a few hamstring stretches and the lower back should feel fine in a few days 3-5 keep up the stretching and the lower back pain should stop.

the upper back i dont know, might be something as bad as a disjointed rib if you feel the pain in the front and back and when you breath, though if its not that bad its probly just a sore muscle and should be fine with 3 days at most rest. though if it does sound like the disjointed rib id see a chiropractor.

 

its really not that bad. You just need to stretch after and increase your work capacity.. ylem this is the second thread where you've give dubious advice.

 

One punch, its good advice.
