How long can you use
that excuse of your aching back muscle preventing you from developing your
physiques? Maybe what you lack is a training program that allows you to
work out while also reducing lower-back muscle stress. Here it is.
When low-back pain
flares, one of the first body parts to get tossed is legs, probably
because legs require relatively heavy weights and much of the pressure
fails on the spine. But you can safely train your glutes and thighs.
Nearly 80% of the
population experiences some form of back pain over their lifetimes.
Common causes for back pain are pain stress, poor posture, weak abdominal
muscles and poor bodybuilding form.
Most people with back
pain never fully resume their normal activities because of the fear that
they'll aggravate their conditions. That's a huge mistake, by the time
the pain is gone and physical activity is resumed, the back is
significantly weaker than it was before the strain - and more vulnerable
to new injuries.
Exercise is the most
frequently prescribed activity to reduce back pain over the long run.
Since most low-back pain is preventable, proper form in
stretching,
squatting, weightlifting and exercising can help you safely train your legs
and butt to prevent back pain. Stretching is an often overlooked
but important components of a complete bodybuilding program because it
can help ward off injuries and make your supporting muscles more
pliable.
Do the following
lower-body stretches and exercises, but be sure to maintain strict form
and use light weights to get the feel for the movement. If you currently
have lower back pain, or one body part is disproportionately
stronger than another, do check with your physician first.
