It hasnt got better and I’m not sure if its because I keep “picking the scab” every time I have to do something like walk or pick something off the floor or do the dishes or sleep in a wrong position or if its because I havent done physical therapy for it

      @@mastertrey4683Hey man! I saw your comment and I figured I should share some of my experiences with you. I come from a long line of back issues in my family. They got me too when I was first starting to lift, and I think up to today, I have had 4 or 5 herniated discs. The first couple are awful, as Im sure you know. But I did just that, sit around and rest. That’s the worst thing you can do. My last one, which was over 2 years ago now, I was able to remedy in about 5 days. I remember the depressing feelings from the first times and I want you to know it gets better, and that you can and will come back stronger! I’ve even helped my gf out when it happened to her. Some things I did:
      Walk. Walk all the time. Walk for fun, get some air. Once walking is easy, and pain free, you can move on to other things.
      My favorite is progressive RDL’s. I start with a barbell at hip height, pick it up, slowly lower it until I reach a painful area. I come up, reset, do it again. Eventually, you can get lower and lower, until you are doing a full deadlift off the floor with the bar. Sweet, now you can add load if you like.
      Sitting prolongs it! Keep pushing! Good luck 🤜🏼🤛🏼

    100% correct. Literally just did this formula for a L-Sat knee injury. I'm a 600 pound squatter [using a medium size squat plug, trying to get a large one to fit :/ ] and I couldnt even get 135lb wihtout severe pain. Over a 2 month time of slowly increasing the weight and trainung movements that didn't hurt I was able to hold on to 90% of my squat.

    Well how about that. Just had a minor back pull doing a single with my 4rm conventional deadlift. I’m talking 90 minutes ago. Did some reverse hyper immediately and dropped all the way down to 2 plates done slowly for a couple reps. Getting the blood flow and doing the movement with a weight that didn’t hurt definitely made me feel most stable. Will be following this plan.

    Currently on the tail end of my first two injuries (back to back) since I started lifting. For me, the coping mechanism was doing a hard pivot into a more high volume, machine heavy "bro" style routine, especially early on. Although I realize this is probably not productive in terms of getting back to where I was, it was the only way I found to maintain the excitement I get from going to the gym. I am far from a professional athlete(far from being a good amateur, really) and I work a pretty draining corporate job.
    Taking a step back, I assessed that ultimately what I needed to get out of the gym was the health benefits of general physical activity and some form of stress relief, and that I didn't necessarily have to be doing barbell lifts to fulfill that funcion, at least not for a while.

      Yeah knee injuries are brutal and it put out me from squatting a long time. Anyway, check E3REhab. Basically on the first week you do like wall-sits or spanish squats which clear up knee up to 45 minutes after you do it and then the following weeks you do heavy slow resistance training. Anyway, I just surpassed my old max (beltless) - not belted though.

      It's a terrible road but my back was hurt and I had to start from scratch on squats. I was doing holding the rack bodyweight squats while concentrating on the stretch and stability, eventually I worked up to a very low paused ATG with over 3 plates, took me years. You have to find the simplest movement you can do with full range of motion and start there, it's sucks, I would do it on the side/end of workout/off day, I could only take so much of it anyway.

  • @JuggoJuggo

    The rough part about this type of rehab is the sneaky pain that you don't feel until later, I've felt good and not pushed myself and still had some develop later, that's very difficult when it's one of the exercise you are progressing to causing the sneaky pain.

    Very unique and helpful video that could benefit a lot of people out there! Interesting you explore this pain connection. There was a guy named Dr. John Sarno and one of his books is called "Mind Over Back Pain". He discusses the brain connection between pain, injuries, and healing and how you can literally heal yourself by changing your beliefs about pain and doing the exercise that originally injured you. Many dudes at the gym "age out" of being strong because they just accept their pain or perceived injuries and stop attempting to get stronger and stay consistent. "I can't bench anymore, my shoulders hurt. I got a bad back so I only leg press now but never squat. Deadlift is not an opton." All those examples people are unwilling to carefully and systematically confront their fears.

    needed this vid, ty man. i have been stuck at 405 squat only cause its hurting my knee and below my knee. it sucks cause my diet and routine is totally on point and i know i could have kept progressing towards 500+ squat. even now i still squat 395x(5-8) for 3-4 sets every leg day because my leg pain like 90% recovers within 5-7 days, but then it comes back with a vengeance after squats. i use knee sleeves, even double up on some knees, i do several warm up reps and sets, slow controlled eccentrics. tried widening my stance. im a little light on my stretching, i could do more dynamic stretching for sure. the issue is also that the leg pain scares me from going heavy on my deadlifts as well, i just have been doing 395x(5-8) slow controlled eccentrics each week (my squat and DL are basically the exact same weight), i would have liked to move on to 405's weeks ago. got new shoes for cardio cause i thought maybe that caused it, new knee sleeves which i like but i can see the issue coming back as i put on more weight. i go not exactly ATG on squats but im really really low. still no idea what my knees/shins get the sharp pain cause i feel like my form is immaculate. i can do 315 for 15-20 reps as well and i don't feel knee/shin pain when i go that light.
    basically ive been meaning to go do leg press on my leg days but i get so tempted to squat. but from your advice it sounds like i can do like half sets on squats, then move over to leg press and do some sets there as well until injury is recovered.
    EDIT: I did break my leg playing hockey as a kid and i wonder if that has anything to do with this weird pain i feel after heavy squats

      I've also broken my knee several years ago, long story short, patella bone fractured and had to get surgery and couldn't walk for 3-4 months.
      Nowadays, on some squat days it's sometimes painful to the point where I subconsciously shift all weight to the other leg and it throws me off, I kept pushing it and it got so bad that no matter how much I warmed up and regardless of a knee sleeve,I had to do RDLs instead of conventional DLs for a week and I couldn't even use leg drive on bench, nevermind any exercise that biases the quads.
      I'm not sure how effective physio would be because the injury is on the bone instead of the tendon where most patella injuries are, at the moment I'm only training push/pull with light quad work once a week.

      Maybe you have overextended upper back by leaning forward too much when squatting low bar. Causing mild rounding on your upper back, hence your upper back muscle would have work much harder. Try working slowly into the really low bar squat. Or your back or quads might just not be strong enough.
