lower back exercise?

Spitfire · 02-20-2004, 12:16 PM

lets make this simple, does any one know good lower back exercise that is very very low impact.
any suggestions would be very appreciated thank

**Prince** · 02-20-2004, 12:35 PM

not sure what you mean by low impact...

regular deadlifts
SLDL's
good mornings
hyper extensions (w/ weight if possible)

plouffe · 02-20-2004, 02:22 PM

Reverse Hyper-Extensions.

MissOz · 02-20-2004, 02:42 PM

Back extension Machine (if you got one)
Hyper's on the Fitball- Ball under hips weight on chest and raise upward slowly return slowly
SLDL's
DB Deadlifit's,xx

Well what i ment by low impact is i have four buldging disks in my back and i want to strengthen the muscles around them to take the "pressure" off of them, BECAUSE IT HURTS

< kinda like this

Spitfire · 02-20-2004, 02:45 PM

I also shouldnt bend forward

thank for all your suggestions (sp)

MissOz · 02-20-2004, 02:56 PM

Spit...are you working your core/abdominals as much as your back ? work your abs and lower back evenly and correctly .xx

Hey Spitfire, read MissOz's post three more times and then read it again. Believe it or not, a majority of the worlds back problems would go away if people would strengthen their abs, thus taking stress off their backs.

Thank you all for your info.
I do work my abs for that, i have noticed some improvement in my back by doing so.
i do nothing for my back like prince pointed out, there's not much i can do with out bending over (which pushes my discs out)
i don't know, maybe i just hoped for a miracle exercise that i just haven't thought of or something like that. maybe something that strengthens muscles near the lower back that i wasn't getting otherwise.
All i really can do right now is knee lifts. They get real easy real fast.
Thaks again for your help, and if there is anything anyone else thinks of please let me know

Dont train like a jackoff and its all low impact

I do SLDL with 325, slow reps. I touch the floor with the plates I do NOT go further than that, I dont trust my spine with that. Hyperextentions are also cool.

If it causes problems use less of a range of motion with very slow reps IMO.

Spitfire · 02-23-2004, 12:02 PM

Im sorry but i just started working out less than a month ago,
SLDL?
And Ive read that hyperextentions would be great, but I still cant find out how to do them.
Thanks again

**Prince** · 02-23-2004, 01:29 PM

This should help:

Hyper-Extensions

SLDL (barbell)

SLDL (dumbbells)

Good Mornings

Alot of Powerlifters use reverse-hyper extensions. I've read alot about the movement, but never done them

You need some weird shit.. I don't I think deepsquatter has directions to make the thing.

Spitfire · 02-24-2004, 08:33 AM

thanks for all your suggestions but those all look like theyd hurt, alot.
I guess im just screwed, oh well

miamiguns · 02-25-2004, 07:54 PM

You need a good physical therapist. They have the equipment and direction you need.

My suggestions would be lay down on your back and do leg lifts, sissor lifts the bicycle etc. This will strengthen the lower abs with almost no leaning foward. Flip over and do reverse leglifts and hold for a few seconds one leg at a time. This might hurt. If it hurts bad stop or proceed with care.

Randy · 02-26-2004, 02:08 AM

Mudge always uses acronyms...

I often wonder myself why he doesn't just spell out what he means. I consider myself advanced and still don't know all the terms. So for SLDL, just say single leg dead lifts. It really is not that much more to type

You should visit the anobolic section, you would really be confused by the acronyms tossed around there
