Totally non-scientifc poll. Really just a census. Do you suffer from low back pain?
No. Ive had several non lifting friends tell me that they did though. Some even had diagnosis of slipped or herniated disks and other such stuff. I got them to start deadlifting twice a week and doing some light ab work. None of them have back pain anymore.
This wont be the case for most people on this forum but it goes to show you just how many "ailments" are really just caused by people getting weak and out of shape.
I suffer from squatting.
towards then end of a squat or deadlift session yep
When I sit for a period of time, it hurts when I try to stand up. Mostly this happens at home when I sit around have a bit of family time. I actually have to take a few steps while bent over at the waist and then I'm good to go.
Look up couch stretch and start doing this 3 times per day, 4 minutes per side.
Always thought that was some sort of quad stretch. Thanks. I'll start that today actually.
All the time. Shoulder/delt/trap too.
I've weened myself off pills and alcohol and started using this thing the kids call hash oil.
Trade 3 demons for 1.
Unfortunately. The flexion x ray shows arthritis in my lower back. The Dr. also thinks there is a cartlidge issue. My low back pops and clicks a lot. Hurts when I push my hips forward. Also hurts to stand up after sitting for a while.
So squatting and dead lifting are out. And low back is really stiff when I try to bend forward.
