Lower back issues

<< < (2/2)

jonathan:
I recently went through a bout of lower back pain and mountain biking. long story, but...
a. my spine was fckd. I don't know how to straighten that out other than the skilled hands of a chiropractor, which is what I have been doing.

b. weak abs, over-developed quads, weak hammies= lower back hell. guess what riding a bike as your main form of exercise does! exaggerated lumbar lordosis creeps in and really hurts after a while. my chiro taught me how to strengthen those things, but so could any physical trainer or self-guided training with a lot of self-discipline.

c. don't focus on stretching your hammies -- strengthen them. squats, lunges, etc.

every person's situation is different and there could be a ton of different things going on, like Ruben Alcantara's jaw issue. in my case and probably for many of you, it's a matter of spinal alignment and muscle imbalances.

Gotta deadlift, man.

In a jerking slouched position to be exact.
