If I didn't get such bad back pumps I would do barbell rows after pulling every week. One of the best back exercises out there. That and old school tbar rows.

Nice vid salty

Thanks man...
It's they heavy hyperextension that give me the worst back pumps where I have to lay down cause I can't stand from it.. the pump locks up my lower back and brings me down.

Back pumps are the devil. I'm finally getting them under control which is a great thing. If I keep my hammies and hips/glutes stretched and loose then Im good. But they have ruined more workouts than I can count.

It's the lower back pumps that have made me walk out of the gym all together before. Like u I got to make sure I'm damn good and warmed up or this old body will fall apart.

I seriously gotta figure something out for us guys that get crippled by these things...

It's some connection between the abductors, and QL. I am going thru this now with the high volume I am doing. Paused squats, front squats, RDL, hyperextension, reverse hyper all set it off bad.

I hang from the pull up bar stretching everything out, foam role, do many other stretches and when it flares up nothing can stop it from crippling me. That would be bad ass if u found the secret to this mystery.

Pillar if u ever figure it out I will give u a handy. Seriously though I watch guys like Jesse Norris do sets of 10 15 and 20 on squat and deadlift with no belt on and wonder why they don't get pumps like that. It's not that my lower back is weak, because it's very strong actually, but it has to do with the blood flow to the erectors or something. I hope someone figures this shit out some day. Hopefully before I die. Lol

I would guess one reason is its due to an anterior pelvic tilt. I'd assume you guys have that as well as myself. Those erectors are hypertonic.... Strong pulls btw salty keep it up brother.

Rows and Tbar rows have always been my go-to aside from deadlift. For back the rest is all hogwash.

^^ THIS ^^ I tend to use a dip belt with a couple plates for a good stretch on back and leg days.
