Nursing a Lower Back Injury "Be a 10 in 2010"

[RoJack0725]

Man, this is so welcome right now. My lower back and flexors always kill in the morning, and the pain never completely goes away. I'm training for the ToughMudder in May, and this routine will help me get through my training. Thank you, Scott!

You look awesome as usual, BTW!

[arnys221]

Wow men, great exercises..Thnx...!

[minamimina911]

I hyper-extended my back being silly diving off a high diving board and have been in pain for the last three weeks. I'm going to try these stretches out. Thank you for posting this!!

[lilblitz]

can you make ur back 100 percent again i twisted it boxing took time off went to chiro seemed to be fixed, today tried to lift something heavy and something went very wrong felt like sharp pains in my lower spine, now I cant move, kinda worried never been this bad before.

[qwerrtyy1]

thanks scott! helped a lot! 

[masterfan2]

I always get a lot of back crackings while stretching. Can I stop my back from cracking by performing these stretching exercies every day?

[safeieldin92]

hey Scott my injury is like at the middle of my back or slightly above i was lifting furniture and stuff and i felt this pain slightly above the middle of my back so would these exercises be good for me? plz respond thx! :D

[HavahappyJ]

This looks like Winnekenni Castle !

[yoguimasterof69]

How many days a week have I to perform this routine? What speed in the excercises is recomended? The same of the video?

Cheers from Chile!

@ScottHermanFitness

And goals set there. Really been waiting for it. I'm 19. Pretty fit and in good shape. I stretch quite alot. After every workout. So my mobility is pretty good.

Well anyways I think im gonna try this and maybe search for other treatments. I think im gonna go light on my weight training now aswell. I'm sure if I dont get this treated I'm gonna bust my back crawling in the forest with a 85 pound backbag and im gonna have a stinging back for the rest of my life.

[SamKindofGuy]

@ScottHermanFitness

Could this work for nursing a more like upper back injury? I think im gonna try at least. I've been lifting freezers and other furnitures last week and I've had this mild sting in like just above the middle of my back. More like upper back. If I reach to the right and up I can really feel it. Same thing to the left. Its just above the mid of my back. I'm kind of nervous becouse of this, becouse Im going to the army next month and I really have high expectations...

[MbDDDDDD]

Thank's for good tips and exercises.

[foolecoole]

i cant hear you.....just sayin.

[srsrsr2]

Should we jog or warm up before doing this or start cold?

[brozac1011]

Won't the dead lift injure ur back

[BillyButtons89]

Great video Scott. What's your opinion on wearing a weightlifting belt for exercises such as deadlifts? I was of the belief that it takes the emphasis off your core muscles & can actually result in a hernia, but my veteran powerlifting friend disagrees. I was thinking of wearing one because I've injured my back a few times now.

[stargis777]

u are gorgeous

[spooner322]

there's always 1 asshole that has to dislike the video.

[jepppzon]

i have been struggling with my lower back injury for 11 weeks, but now its really good, just because of this

[flomed8]

Yo who ever can answer my question. I recently injured my lower back trying to max out and i have been in pain for the last 4 days. it hurts to walk and sit down slightest movements in my back hurt would this help at all? could it make it worse?

[Vidike]

Can I still run if I have bulged lower back discs? Or lift at the gym?

[rbki3]

how often should i do this mr herman?

[rbki3]

how long should i do this mr herman?

[JohnHategee]

this is not fair...l never see a guy that looks like this in the park!

[mattownsu1]

Can I ask you a serious question? I want to know how important is stretching and why? I can't touch my toes and my lower back is pretty stiff, and I feel like it affects my dead-lift and squats...should I stretch every day...every other day...for how long...and should I do this and normal leg stretches...Any information would help..I'm really not flexible at all, but I workout 5days a week...thanks man

[DJOpaixMusic]

lol you say "your gunna do" alot :P

[MarcitOmaha]

great info, Scott.  thank you.

[phantom0121]

thank you for making this video because i've have been looking for a set of lower back exercises for ages ...  :)

[fictionalize]

Scott, have you ever had a lower back injury?

[taethekoreanking]

I got a question about abdominals. If I tighten my abdominals all the time, can I get a little more mass or leaner in my abs or at least get it stronger? Hope you can answer this Scott, thanks.

[MasterJessav]

Just passed this video to a friend that hurt his back. He's training for the Ironman. Thanks a lot Scott! You rock my fitness world!

[WildcardHatesYou]

Hi Scott

I've managed to pick up an unusual back injury, and am trying to get more info on how to rehab it. I did it during a set of seated rows. The pain is slightly up and to the left of my coccyx and spreads to the top of my left hamstring. The injury seems to be aggravated by sitting, and is very painful.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

[MrRat444]

hey bro tell me 1 thing im suffring from back pain,its nt injury,its slip disc ,,so will ur excercise help me,in this situation..??

[tfoggles]

Hey scott, what advice can you give as far as recovery from overtraining? I find that i will train a body part, and a week or a week and a half later it will still be sore! It shouldnt take this long to recover and because of this i havent been able to train as consistantely as i use to. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[badamhell]

scott..can u do a video or several videos about the HST ( Hypertrophy-Specific Training ) would be awesome

hope u read this request :P

[STORYOFSHIRTLESS]

[Con1410]

[BlessTha40oz]

i dont know if this will work for me but im going to try it my lower back hurts like hell i feel something loose as if its strained or swollen and its been like that since february

[Terkel1994]

That sure is a nice place Scott is at :)

[flaminfireboy]

great video

[mukhsanain]

thx 4 great video scott

[voicefulmarlin]

wonderful background, and superb advice thanks ill try them, cheers

[vigilantezack]

Nice timing Scott, I've got a lower back injury from a one rep max on leg press machine. Chiropractor says it's in my hip, I definitely lost range of motion in my stretching. He adjusted my hip and I get another adjustment tomorrow. I'll use these for sure!

[ScottHermanFitness]

@vigilantezack awesome! really hope this helps you!! :)

[southstar0511]

@ScottHermanFitness great vid man. Would u mind doing vid on how to keep ur body symmetrical. Like any tips would be great, like me everything on my strong side is bigger lol. Should i just workout out my right side for a month?

[byounghusband]

oh girl, your toe strech needs some work

[ScottHermanFitness]

@byounghusband probably why im not as flexible.. im not a girl :-P

[marvingarden89]

oh my goodness, who knew. ive always had issues with my lowerback/hips. thank you for posting, my mr burns back days are over

[ScottHermanFitness]

@marvingarden89 you are very welcome!

[tigergreg8]

Well done Scott. Nice safe exercises and stretches. I'll have to look to see if you have done any hamstring stretch vids. If not, can I request you do one. Tight hamstrings will cause lower back problems. too. Most people who have lower back problems, have tight hamstrings. Thanks for the vid. Your doing awesome.

[ScottHermanFitness]

@tigergreg8 great input... and yes you are totally right.. but some of these exercises will hit the hamstring as well :)

[MDkid1]

where were you? Nice background.

[pmullinax76]

how ironic i swear i must have done something wrong but my back has been killing me im gonna try this tomorrow thanks bro for sacrificing your body with all that itchy azz grass

[wolfboyblue747]

Just in time! I did hurt my lower back recently.

[rawrkikii]

la la laav you ! (:

[pasiCabral]

Thank you... Realy good info, I'll help me alot

[sebo9893]

Is this video in relation to a muscle injury or bone, because my lower spine is hurting a bit and i was wondering if these exercices are ok to do.

please reply, thanks :)

[44871umair]

hey scott, i wanted to ask you a question, kind of off topic from this but i was wondering what is the most effective fat burning thing to do, is it interval training, or just going outside for a long jog, etc

like what would you recommend, im gonna be doing a lot of fat burning this sumer so i need help,

thnx

[BlessTha40oz]

@44871umair im not scott but im pretty good with this interval training is real good but also keep in mind to have healthy eating habits, weight training, cardio of any kind but switch it up treadmil, stationary bike, elliptical if yu have a gym if not jog for a few mintues then walk and keep this up and yu will see result in no time

[44871umair]

@BlessTha40oz hey thnx

its ok if your not scott lol. yeh i was told interval trainig along with a good diet can help you lose fat really fast. and dont worry, ill be weight lifting anyways, i still do but i was just building muscles and not seeing it my abs area so thats why i needed help with losing weight,

thnx again. :-)

[BlessTha40oz]

@BlessTha40oz cool.... hey i went form 280 to 234 since last yr to now off doing it so it really works but best to you

[ScottHermanFitness]

@44871umair Meal plan and Circuit/interval training..... you want as many muscles working as possible... logiccally, the more muscle pumpin.. the more calories you are burning!! :)

check out my video "How to maintain your body"

[UKnowIm18]

just what i needed xDD after my first leg-day..

[coolboy065]

vry infrmativ

[killerkakaz]

whats up with that shitty quality

[TheWhite89Wolf]

Hey Scott, I was wondering if you're going to post a video How to: Deadlift with barbell? I found just one with dumbells...

[ViolatedCunt]

Have you actually had a lower-back injury before Scott?.

[GamerzFun]

YES THANK yOU THIS IS JUST IN TIME!!!

[xg0dskiler]

YES THANKS SCOTTT =\ THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED

[eortega14]

scott i have a qurstion everytime i do squats my lower backs always hurts after should i wear a belt????

[NicFusionaire]

@eortega14 Thats okay my lower back hurts too, but that just means that your also working your lower back when your doing squats and I don't think you should wear a belt cuz the belt just takes your lower back out of the equation and you also can't get that nice arch either, if you feel it burning the next day and you didn't do a lower back workout then that just means that your lower back isn't strong enough yet to handle squating but if you keep it up then it will get stronger overtime

[mkyb242]

@eortega14 hey mate I've just done legs today and my lower back is sore as well, though it's not painful. A little soreness is ok, you're lower back muscles will get stronger over time. The main thing is to keep good form and lift the weights you can lift while keeping good from throughout. A belt might help with form but unless your lifting really heavy then there's not a massive reason to wear a belt.

[artw123456]

(y) Keep it up
