    Can you hyper-extend your back whilst squatting?

    Sciatica is still there atm, but its only in addition to the other pain and is getting better. As for the soreness, its 4 days since last squat and its starting to feel a bit better. Guess rest and stretching is the way to go for now. Cheers for the info.

    Can you hyper-extend your back whilst squatting?

    And the ugly- thanks for clearing this up. I think I tend to arch my lower back, sit into the squat and then contract my buttocks to launch myself up. Your method sounds alot more natural. strong enough- can you describe how this feels? only I still have a sore lower back (its not sciatica...

    Can you hyper-extend your back whilst squatting?

    I have always been taught to sit back and stick your arse out as far as possible. The movement starts by your rotating your pelvis down and pokiking your 'tail' out. If this is true then you can't hyper-extend your lower back, but is this good practice?

    Why is my lower back so sore?

    Additionally, can you hyper-extend your lower back in the squat? I was always taught to poke my arse out as far as possible and really force that arch.

    Why is my lower back so sore?

    Sumo- Cheers mate I've got a referral to a sports physio just haven't booked an appointment yet. I might give tomorrows sesh a miss (see how I feel tomorrow) and see if it gets better with or without training.

    Why is my lower back so sore?

    Whats foam rolling? Links? Sumo- interesting idea but I don't think this is it. I think the reasons below are more likely. Gaucheharbour- definately going to continue stretching. How often do you get this pain? I've not felt this before. I know what doms and sciatica feel like but this has...

    Why is my lower back so sore?

    Lads/Ladettes. Been training on rippetoes starting strength for about a month now. Nice steady progression - it is definately working. However, pulled a muscle in my neck last wednesday. Have had to take a short break from training but was back in the gym today. Had a little sciatica over...

    Gyms in prison

    I don't need to research. I'm involved in the system and I see it every day. Its a joke. Not sure what you're disagreeing with in the second part? My point was that they come from disadvantaged backgrounds that has the potential to lay the foundation of a criminal. Pretty sure it was the same...

    Gyms in prison

    Great thread guys. Some points that stuck out at me: I'm interested how the courts fit all this into some of the prison sentences I've seen... Having said that, I have never seen someone go into life imprisonment for a first offence. Usually its suspended sentence or something similar. I...

    Help me develop a new routine

    Thanks mate. I go to GP as I can usually claim medical expences through work, as long as its on referral. Cheers.

    Help me develop a new routine

    Good point. Don't think they were sports specialists. I will ask for a referral on tues when Im seeing the gp. I will monitor in the mean time. I have had success (ie. regularly doing them without pain or spasm) in the past with these excersises, however not gone past bodyweight with squats...

    Help with my achilles heel (damned diet!)

    Perhaps you're right. You can after all only use so much protien at one time. Ive posted a new chart below. The only thing it does't show is Ive dropped the whey shake from the 2pm meal. This is a pre workout meal but. Training usually happens about 3-4pm. Have added one tuna meal and a few...

    Help with my achilles heel (damned diet!)

    Hi mate, sorry should have been in my original post. I weigh just under 100kg. I read somewhere a good target is about 1.5g protein per pound bodyweight. And your calories should be about 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats. I juggled a bit to try and make it fit but still having trouble. How...
