Jeff, this is a message for you. Thank you for all the amazing and free content that you provide the world. I understand that you have a website and your own training programs and business, and you deserve every single penny. You are well educated, highly experienced and a good person. You advise us on how to correctly do excercises and therefore how to avoid injuries. You are improving our quality of lives and you provide so much free content. Thank you for teaching me how to do my excercises correctly. You are a good person and you are really making a difference to the world. Thank you buddy, Umair
I'm in agony. I've been trying physio, chiro, shots in my back, nothing seems to solve it. I would pay serious money for a diagnosis and a workout plan from this man.
I got y'all 1. 1:03 Check your hip flexors 2. 2:54 Glutes are too week 3. 6:02 Can't stand still more then 20min 4. 7:37 Having flat feet & pain in the arch 5. 9:47 You sit with a slumped posture
I was fairly fit in my early 20's, starting out my job, im now 35, with nasty lower backpain, I thought it was all todo with my discs, but nope, my muscles where weak and strained, from sitting at my desk for so many hours. after doing these exercises over 3 days, my pain vanished, coupled with my physio's advice, my pain is gone. thank you very much from Australia. for anyone else, i found pretending to swim on the ground (kicking legs) helped me.
I’ve been dealing with low back pain for years, tried all different stretches, exercises and remedies only to find partial relief. This video was a game changer. Thank you for all the knowledge you put forth 🙏🏼
Seriously dude. I fucked up my back for first time in my life last week(had to miss a flight because of that) and now this comes out. I'm unsure why i fucked up my back though,i feel it was because it was just my 2nd or 3rd gym session after getting up from illness and i went heavy on my abs and lower back,still not ready to believe that was the reason though even though it all points out to that haha
RIPPED OFF. I’m so upset that I just purchased an “All Access Pass” to hundreds of workouts by some top workout experts. I was feeling some pain on my lower back from a mass builder series so I hopped on the UA-cam and found the exact pain and remedy to fix on this channel. Thank you so much! I’ve been binging on your videos and solely doing your free workouts. As soon as I can justify another workout program to my wife I'm going all in. Thanks for the great content. 👊🏼
I don't remember how many doctors have I visited for my lower back pain. None of them could give me this kind of an explanation. All they are focusing on is whether it's a hernia or not. If there is no hernia, you are left alone with your pain again. I was thinking about seeing a chiropractor to ease the pain, but now I think that is not necessary. Thank you Jeff. You deserve every cent you make on this. God speed...👍
I'm a physiotherapist/owner of Clarkson Sports and Physiotherapy in Mississauga, Ontario, and I frequently direct my patients to your videos. Thanks for the awesome back video! You've put so much of my advice into a perfect take-home lesson.
To all you guys. I started getting it about a year ago. Turns out it's not the muscles, but the discs...Not to scare you, but if this an on-going thing, get it checked out properly because PT and exercise will not solve disc problems
That's unbelievable! I have problems with low back (Lumbago), I was in the doctor who said that my low back muscles are so tight, but nobody told what cause this and how to fix it. Jeff, you just showed me my problem, what cause the problem (I found that my posture is so bad when I am sitting on my couch, my low back muscles cannot hold straight position), and I know how to fix it. Thank you so much, Jeff! You just make our lives better!
This is a great video but be careful with the “always be sitting up straight” mentality. I drive for a living and sitting ramrod straight all day completely destroyed my back! You should be leaning back almost to 45 degrees if you’re doing a lot of driving! That takes the load off the lower back. Combining this with weight training to strengthen the core and fixing upper body posture issues fixed my lower back problems completely. It took a couple years but this stuff can be fixed without surgery!
That's not quite true. We can handle many positions and there is not a single magic posture that we should always have. Just have a lot of breaks when you drive when it's possible and change many postures. Don't keep any single posture for an extended period of time.
Michael Angelo there are absolutely certain postures and actions that if done repeatedly will cause harm. I was delivering pizzas, getting in and out of my car, periodically walking, doing a lot of cleaning later, and sitting ramrod straight wrecked me- even with all of that movement and rest from sitting. There were many little things I changed to help but it was that one single thing that had the most affect. At one point I was so crippled that I could not even stand. Now I have zero problems with zero surgery. All through paying attention to my body, thorough study, and patience. We evolved a certain way and our habits through changes in custom have put unnatural strains on our bodies, tilted head forward looking at our phones for instance. So yes, there definitely is singular better ways to do things for our bodies’ evolved mechanics. People don’t realize how a very small motion done repeatedly can have a chronic debilitating affect years later. They just repeat the same bad habits and accept that they must live with back pain or knee pain. Take some pills for it to cover it up but never examine the core issue! They are not told these things can actually be fixed. I’m fixing a rotator cuff injury right now with the correct exercises, while stopping any activity that causes the slightest strain.
@@TheNateWalking The fact that a single position causes symptoms for you doesn't mean that it's the same for everybody. Sure, some positions may cause symptoms for some people but that's not the case for everyone. It's not the position's fault by the way, it's the fact that you kept that position for an extended period of time, or a combination of many other variables. Pain is really complex, involving biological, psychological and social factors. Statements like ''Your hip extensors are short so that's why you have pain'' or ''I sit too much straight that's why I have pain'' are redundant and far fetched. I would like to refer you to this study (there are many more like this) www.cpdo.net/Lederman_The_fall_of_the_postural-structural-biomechanical_model.pdf If you have time, read it. It contains lot's of information on this subject and you may learn something new.
Michael Angelo I understand what you are saying and basically agree with you. I came to that driving position from videos from multiple chiropractors and physical therapists and testing it out myself. My point is that driving itself puts you in an unnatural position, and the driving position I described absolutely puts the least possible load on your lower back. Of course if you are just driving 10 minutes a day, you may have no problem sitting very straight. That’s why my initial statement was “be careful.” Thank you for the link.
I'm dealing with this exact problem. Going to get an MRI in a couple of weeks. In the meantime going to get more informed on your awesome videos. I will inform you of my progress over time
Hi Jeff. Watched your video on lower back pain and one cause you say is flat feet. I had a bad problem with flat feet as a young boy and an exercise they made me do was to sit against a wall and pickup glass marbles with my toes. It cured my flat feet and everyone I've told to do this it helped too. Many thanks for all your great videos. Helped a bad back injury and a bulging disc. Now back golfing after two years of recovery.
golden turd Zeniru I actually do 😂🤣 it’s a pretty bad angle too. But i visit my chiropractor pretty often and watch Jeff’s videos so I have it under control 😂🤣
I had and still have low back pain and I'm was still a Young Teenager back then. I got diagnosed with a slight *"Levoscoliosis"* Thank you for making this video!
can’t thank you enough for helpful videos like this one. your straightforward, concise and even comical approach is refreshing and incredibly educating. just discovered/subscribed to you, and grateful af. keep educating the masses. your message is crucial. 💛
All the things I was doing wrong are explained. I've been having severe soreness in the mornings. I'll start addressing these issues and working on them. Thanks.
Great job video! I like it when you mention and show the muscles involved including origins and insertions. I will like to see more "fix this" videos that include stretches.
Jeff, I've been training for years, and I love, (I love!) the scientific anatomical knowledge you share that has taught me a lot. I appreciate you, brother. Please, keep up the go work!!!
Guys, you have been very helpful again. My tight hip flexor was causing me lumbar pain. Since I started stretching it, no more back pain. Thank you very much.
Phenomenal video Jeff. Really appreciate and love your approach. It's so vital that in pursuit of building significant size and strength we don't forget that we have to use our bodies for years to Come. I have learned so much from you in regards to this and I have been able to help others as well with similar issues AND point them toward your channel. Very thankful that you cut through all the garbage in fitness that's out there. Keep it up and all the best to you!
Seriously, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing all that wonderful knowledge and experience that you have. You really are helping the rest of us immensely!
TLDR: +1 Yes!! I have always stretched after sports, but somehow this is totally neglected in lifting? What’s up with that? All the gym tards that couldn’t scratch their ears was what kept me away from lifting, until I started gymnastics and saw they were incredibly muscular.
My lumbar pain is.chronic, I cannot stand or sit at all now. All I can do is lay on the floor or something hard surface. This is the first video I am watching from Jeff & reading comments, hopefully I will be cured.
@@vedantjhingran Jeff’s videos on flat feet and plantar fasciitis helped more than the $200 custom orthotics. He mentions them here so I would try ones like he showed to see if they help you.
This was an amazing video. You literally showed me all of my 5 red flags 🚩 I have been dealing with back issues for about 6 or more months. Now to concentrate on fixing this.
I have been having a serious pinch pain on my lower back for 2 days I finally researched solutions for lower back pain and yours came up. Thank you so much. You gave no idea how much discomfort I was dealing with until I did your exercises
Just found your videos, I have suffered with chronic back pain for a very long time. The way you explain things just makes sense. I am going to start these exercises today. Thank you. #watchingfromAustralia
OH NO!!! I just saw something very VERY hideous! I looked in the mirror! OH NO!! But I am the best UA-camr of this generation so it is all good! OH YESSS!!! Thanks for your attention dear bogdsn
@@athleanx mr Jeff cavalier,a rather new lifter here and wanted to ask you that should i get some specific shoes for deadlifts, squats and other athletic exercises (or if i should go barefoot on few) my distance running nike shoes seem to get messed up very fast doing mountain climbers and such athletic exercises or just feel a bit off during squats and lifts
@@athleanx so can you please reply or make a video regarding this? Also a few suggestions if i should get any type of lifting shoes? Thank you for the knowledge coach.
@@abhinavsharma640 It's not often The Jeff replies to questions here. My uneducated opinion is flat shoes or barefoot for leg-driven exercises and bent over rows, i use running shoes for the rest (including mountain climbers and other exercises featured in the 6 Pack Promise app). The only reason is that they feel like if gods exists and they are touching my feet, not because they are better.
Wow. The warning sign about the ankles might be a life saver. I noticed that rotation in my knee in pictures before, and crossing legs while standing really resonated with me as I do that all the time, but I just assumed I stood weird. I have ankle pain sometimes and lower back pain, and after watching this and examining my standing, it does appear im flat footed. I will be looking into orthotics, this video really helped explain a lot. Thanks jeff!
I have a client who's ankles roll inside so bad that when he walks he doesnt use his toes or quadriceps because once he gets into that range his ankles give out. This has caused him to walk with feet in front and only pulling with hamstrings. I corrected it not with insoles but thick silicone arch supports. Raised his arch enough to support the ankle. Afterwards with a bunch of strengthening of the neglected parts, he's not to walking and running like a monster
I have been having lower back pain for quite awhile and I am trying to figure out what cause it. I been to the doctor several times for this problem and got no relief. By watching your video I now understand exactly what is causing my back pain, especially in the sitting position. Thanks guys for this info i believe I can now do these exercises to get rid of this constant back pain for good. I will let you know my success result.
Thanks, you really changed my life by providing your knowledge. You helped me from so far away (i am in Greece). Your videos helped me to lose back pain. Thanks again
I’m so glad I found Jeff’s videos. They are very helpful and informative. Thanks! As a 50 yr. old man who’s getting back into working out this is a great. Big fan !
Thanks for your content it is really helping me. I'm a back pain and sciatica sufferer. I am glad to share these chronic back pain solutions and techniques that you have shared
I'm so grateful mate. The clear and simple way you explain our problems and how to correct them? is priceless. There is a reason you have over 9 million subscribers. When I first met you 4 years ago it was 4.2 million. You're awesome and we are very grateful.
Can’t say i followed these exercises to a T but it helped my lower back. It’s so nice to wake up in the morning not having back pain. Thank you for the video.
Jeff Cavalier from ATHLEAN-X.com™ stats: Strength: ***** Mobility: ***** Mass:** Specials: Rotational blessing: All allies within range get externally rotated shoulders. Postural attack: All enemies within range have their postures F-ed up. Red flag: Enemies get demoralized that they're not even breathing right, killing their gains.
Thanks so much! I love learning about how my body works (or why it isn't at the moment)😜 this is so helpful because I really can't just run to a clinic every time my back hurts. The diagnostic tips are amazing!!! I feel exactly what you explain step by step and it helps me heal. You are not a "luxury" you are an essential for my daily work. Thank you again!!

I would pay serious money for a diagnosis and a workout plan from this man.
@ryan petra unfortunately, I'm not. I'm in Germany and here it seems like I have to move mountains to get a diagnosis.
I mean, do you have any of the red flags mentioned in the video? If so, train your low back muscles and glutes

How does Jeff always know.
Me: Ahhh my lower backs hurting today
Jeff: I got you bro
dbagdi1998 bro that literally happened to me
Me too xD been looking up videos about that and today this upload? Mmmmhhhhhh 🤔
I just did abb exercises yesterday and now my back hurts and this video appears.
Jeff is everywhere and nowhere, he is omnipresent.
Literally happened to me too! It's like he is the oracle from The Matrix!
If Jeff was a Sith, he'd use the force to internally rotate the shoulders of his enemies.
He would bring balance to the force...of every muscle contraction
Love you guys. Thanks for the laugh 😂😂
yes he would make them internally rotate till their shoulders dislocated
And he would tell them you doing it wrong
Goddamn this comment made me laugh so much that it made my day..
I came here to learn how to prevent back pain and left with a Sports Medicine Degree.

Thanks Jeff! I was just gonna look this up.
Just found your videos, I have suffered with chronic back pain for a very long time. The way you explain things just makes sense. I am going to start these exercises today. Thank you.

Me: make ugly face due to pain in the lower back
Jeff: You are doing that wrong
OH NO!!! I just saw something very VERY hideous! I looked in the mirror! OH NO!! But I am the best UA-camr of this generation so it is all good! OH YESSS!!! Thanks for your attention dear bogdsn
@@AxxLAfriku what?
@@yp4688 crack is a hell of a drug
Jeff, please more videos for calves !!!!! You're the best, i really like too much the way you explain every exercise
I've got 3 flags there, wow. Thank you Jeff, I'm for sure going to adress those!
Not surprised, you've also probably got a lot of company. Lots of us do these but the key is being aware of it. Now it's time to fix them!
@@athleanx Could you please make a video on how to deal with pulled lower back muscles? Also, thanks for all the free content.
@@athleanx mr Jeff cavalier,a rather new lifter here and wanted to ask you that should i get some specific shoes for deadlifts, squats and other athletic exercises (or if i should go barefoot on few) my distance running nike shoes seem to get messed up very fast doing mountain climbers and such athletic exercises or just feel a bit off during squats and lifts
@@athleanx so can you please reply or make a video regarding this? Also a few suggestions if i should get any type of lifting shoes? Thank you for the knowledge coach.
@@abhinavsharma640 It's not often The Jeff replies to questions here. My uneducated opinion is flat shoes or barefoot for leg-driven exercises and bent over rows, i use running shoes for the rest (including mountain climbers and other exercises featured in the 6 Pack Promise app). The only reason is that they feel like if gods exists and they are touching my feet, not because they are better.
Grateful for this video, thank you a lot.
just recovering from back pain after deadlifting too much, thanks
Me too..plus rows
Wow. The warning sign about the ankles might be a life saver. I noticed that rotation in my knee in pictures before, and crossing legs while standing really resonated with me as I do that all the time, but I just assumed I stood weird. I have ankle pain sometimes and lower back pain, and after watching this and examining my standing, it does appear im flat footed. I will be looking into orthotics, this video really helped explain a lot.
Thanks jeff!
I have a client who's ankles roll inside so bad that when he walks he doesnt use his toes or quadriceps because once he gets into that range his ankles give out. This has caused him to walk with feet in front and only pulling with hamstrings. I corrected it not with insoles but thick silicone arch supports. Raised his arch enough to support the ankle. Afterwards with a bunch of strengthening of the neglected parts, he's not to walking and running like a monster
Thank you so much for all you do you really impacted so many peoples lives
Tight hip flexors: ✅
Weak glutes: ✅
Flat feet: ✅
Sit slumped: ✅
Anterior pelvic tilt: ✅
Have to shift feet: ✅
Well shit.
DAMN... same here
Sucks to be us.
Right hip flexors causes sitting slumped and anterior pelvic tilt. Fix that and you’ll fix A LOT of the pain
How to fix the first one ? - Tight hip flexors ?
All that + scoliosis
I just started have lower back pain and i see that he uploads this. AMAZING
Ha me too. My broscience mind was telling me it was my hip flexors causing torque on my spine and bingo Jeff confirms it
I have been having lower back pain for quite awhile and I am trying to figure out what cause it. I been to the doctor several times for this problem and got no relief. By watching your video I now understand exactly what is causing my back pain, especially in the sitting position. Thanks guys for this info i believe I can now do these exercises to get rid of this constant back pain for good. I will let you know my success result.
This guy knows what he’s talking about, he owns a bone person
one day he will put Ramon to follow AX programs and then u will see this skeleton putting some muscles. LoL

Me: sitting in my chair slumped
Jeff: Red flag number 5 sitting slumped in your chair
Me: Immediately sits up straight*

Literally all of these red flags describe me exactly.
Yeah, my back is fucked up
When you get 5/5 from the checks you can stop searching for other causes for low back pain and start doing exercises.

Thanks, you really changed my life by providing your knowledge. You helped me from so far away (i am in Greece). Your videos helped me to lose back pain. Thanks again
2:52 What everyone is really here for 🥴
That was hella naughty
Your videos are sooo helpful. Injury prevention is very important to me as an adult ballet dancer and your tips are great. Thanks. 😉
2:52 Damn Jessie it’s not my birthday yet but thanks for the 🎂
I’m so glad I found Jeff’s videos. They are very helpful and informative. Thanks! As a 50 yr. old man who’s getting back into working out this is a great. Big fan !
Random person in the gym was telling me Jeff eat carrot cake once a year😂😂😂
That’s right. On his birthday.
Athlean ax’s library is my go to for any fitness information. Such a great resource.
Jeff: if you sit this way (9:47) something bad is gonna happen
Every single student in high school: 😳
Thanks for your content it is really helping me. I'm a back pain and sciatica sufferer. I am glad to share these chronic back pain solutions and techniques that you have shared
I laughed so damn hard when Red Flag #2 came up on the screen!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm so grateful mate.
The clear and simple way you explain our problems and how to correct them? is priceless.
There is a reason you have over 9 million subscribers. When I first met you 4 years ago it was 4.2 million.
You're awesome and we are very grateful.
Jeff, How do you deactivate hip flexors with seated hip circles?
flex the abs! (Activate abs by bending in slightly)
Contract the glutes, and squeeze the knees together turning on the adductors should help activate the core more
@@joellindsay9270 thank you!
Can’t say i followed these exercises to a T but it helped my lower back. It’s so nice to wake up in the morning not having back pain. Thank you for the video.
Right on time... I need this. On a separate note, just let me win Jeff
4 out 5 for me. At least now I know what to do to fix it. THANK YOU for doing my Dr's job.

DOT CALM, LOW BACK PAIN IS INCREDIBLY CALMMON
Mute Pepe The hat on Raymond’s skull caught me off guard
Thanks so much! I love learning about how my body works (or why it isn't at the moment)😜 this is so helpful because I really can't just run to a clinic every time my back hurts. The diagnostic tips are amazing!!! I feel exactly what you explain step by step and it helps me heal. You are not a "luxury" you are an essential for my daily work.
Thank you again!!

You are a blessing for this century. Wish all the best.
Can anyone tell me the name of the first lounge recommended by Jeff please! Hip thrusts and RDL’s I understood but not the first one!
