Work Out, Get Fit Thread

Nope. As a person who’s always had low back disc problems that movement makes me nervous. Seems like the part where you contact the bench could be jarring to everything down there.

Ah

Well I haven't gotten back in the gym yet but I think it stops you from going too deep in your squat so that you don't compromise your posture.

I'ma definitely try it the first day I get back and slowly build my way up to where I was before I stopped going

I had a crazy injury from squating not too heavy...my problem was that my core was weak and my form was lacking...I fell on the floor in agonizing pain and that shit hurt for about 4 days...I got lucky as fuck this was about a year ago now so since then I have not been squating only dead lifting 70kg...I was talking to one of the trainers at the gym I told him I was trying to strengthen my lower back before going back to squats and he told me to also work the core...I think he is right we need strength all over especially in our cores, my deadlifts have improved since I took his advice.

I don’t really mean the depth aspect, just the mechanics behind having weight on your shoulders then applying a force from below (hitting the bench) seems like it would compress the spine.

Lol, unfortunately I injured myself in HS and it’s the kinda thing that never goes away you just gotta work around it unless you get surgery (which has a relatively low success rate).

How did you injure yourself? In a sport?

I think from doing too many heavy squats tbh. But the first time I noticed the pain I was running sprints at baseball practice. Thought I just pulled a muscle until it hadn’t improved at all a month later.

Hmm I’ll do some research then, that was just my assumption from seeing people do them

They might be doing them wrong lol

Your butt is supposed to kiss the bench them to go straight back up

If people are actually sitting, yeah, they fucking something up

A lot of things inspired me to get in shape. I seen alot of my peers abusing their bodies, so I wanted to be the opposite. I always been a healthy person but I always wanted to look & fit the part too. At first, I was trying to get a personal trainer because I didn't know what to do & plus I though I needed the extra motivation during that time. After I got the prices of a personal trainer then I declined it. 3 years ago, I started working out by myself, working out everyday at home for about 1 hour then workout at the gym for 2 hours on the weekend. At times, I didn't even have the energy to workout at the gym on a late night but I pushed myself to go anyway. After 3 years of work, I can truly say that I am in the best shape of my life.
