Me rn:

i did a crazy back workout ended with 31 min on stair master for dinner had a greek salad an chicken an some potatoes an a few small pita bread sliders a small scoop of ice cream and 2 water melons slices an i am still hungry lol

I’ve been severely slacking going to the gym. I got stuff going on but I still have time to go I just don’t. Feel like it does nothing for me even when I was in a good rhythm of going.

Fasting til 5 pm to challenge my mind

(And will to live)

added a lil loop to my run, only an extra .3miles

but I still had a quicker pace than yesterday

Ok im hype to finish the week strong

My legs are cooked tho, i need some stretches pmo twin @atthepyramids

Hey guys I've been improving at a steady pace with my strength training, but I keep hitting this same nagging problem with my lower back.

Like the muscles right above my tail bone and around the psis.

I tweaked my lower back muscles just bending over quickly and trying to pick up my socks.

I do my best to lift correctly and not ego lift. I get up from my desk plenty of times in the day to get a break from sitting.

I've tweaked this same spot like one every year or every 6 months since freshman year college. What's the deal?

How do y'all strengthen the muscles in that spot in a safe manner?

Generally speaking, focusing on exercises that target core stability and incorporating stretching routines that enhance flexibility in the lower back and hip region can be beneficial. Some exercises that may help include:

1. Planks and Side Planks: These can help strengthen the core muscles, which provide support to your lower back.

2. Bird-Dog Exercises: This exercise targets the lower back and core muscles, improving stability and strength.

3. Hamstring Stretches: Tight hamstrings can contribute to lower back pain, so stretching them might provide relief.

4. Glute Bridges: This exercise can help strengthen the muscles around the hips, glutes, and lower back.

5. Hip Flexor Stretches: Stretching and strengthening the hip flexors might also alleviate strain on the lower back.

6. Swimming: As a low-impact exercise, swimming can be a good way to strengthen the back muscles without putting undue stress on them.

Are bodyweight good mornings a good option?

Indeed!

U got some good advice already I just wanna offer another perspective.

It could be that your mobility is lacking and causing an imbalance in the tightness of your muscles around your pelvis. Can you comfortably atg squat aka third world squat? Like chill for minute(s)? Can you do an atg split squat? Does the front of your pelvis 'pinch' in happy baby yoga pose? Can you do a full bridge pose?

Having full mobility is really important in injury prevention and also musclular growth as you can grow the muscle through a greater range of motion.

How would I work on this? I'm 6'2" and have longer limbs for my thighs, so a lot of the traditional tips like "don't put knees over toes" are actually uncomfy for me.

This is me spitballing about myself cause I haven't learned a lot about mobility.

Your knees should absolutely go over and beyond your toes in a squat bro, saying otherwise is old broscience bullshit.

Just look at the position that olympic weightlifters are in at the bottom of their squats man. Like below

I can't rly offer specific advice on how to work on this because I don't know what you can't do/what your mobility limitations are. But I can suggest you to check out the kneesovertoesguy on youtube and just start from there

I always say I’m gonna go to gym and take it it easy but every time the opposite
It’s boring otherwise

Killing legs rn

Bounce back day LETS GO

Gods country was just made for heavy lifting sessions

🤷🏼‍♂️

Legs and shoulders ✅

Hit cals goal after insane binge day (we so back) ✅

Hit steps ✅

Fasted cardio before work tomorrow and chest + back

Not a bad day 4

you dont eat until 5pm wow

very hard for me to cut especially being diabetic type 1

Back hyperextensions and the seated back extension machine has helped me with that issue.

If your gym has them they’re pretty easy to do.
