Lower back. He was spending $80 a week at the physio/chiro.
His brother and brother in law were training at PTC.
We started with KB's to get it stronger as it was very weak. As with most back issues, everyone that feels a niggle will avoid all exercise.
I have a few exercises I have people do, and if I notice they can do them with no discomfort, in good form, and the client tells me there is no pain, we simply keep moving ahead.
The fact Ryan was able to pull 240kg shows that all that was wrong with his back is that it was weak, and he wasnt exercising it. He hasnt had a single issue with it since he started at PTC, and he's on the tools everyday at work.
Strange how not one doctor he saw suggested deadlifting to fix his back. I'd love him to go back with his video of his 240kg pull with no belt and show them lol
James is similar, only he pulled 200kg, but he is 61
