[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go see a sports PT. You need a specific strength training program like mentioned above. I was having back issues and I did just that and it’s part of my overall programming now. I think it could really help. [/quote]

But be careful with this. Get alot of recommendations. And only work with an experience PT. I've done this three times (THREE) and all three times I got some intern or newbie reading a program off a piece of paper and all three times I hurt my back worse!  I have a lower back disc issue and I just see the chiropractor when it's acting up and, when it's feeling better, I do a lot of core work and a standard weight training program except I avoid dead lifting. I know some people still like to do it but, for me, it's not worth the risk. I do push press, rows, pull ups, lunges, shoulder press, and lots of accessory work (lateral raises, arms, face pulls, rear delt raises, leg ext, leg curls, nordics, stuff like that (but not every work out) and core work. It took me a long time to get passed the fact that I had a bad back and need to be careful. I stopped being so focused on increasing the weight I'm lifting and just focusing on form, full range of motion, and feeling good. I'm not as muscular as I'd like to be but I'm fit and look good.

That’s fair, but that’s why I said a specific sports PT. And you self pay and deal with your insurance yourself. You get the person you schedule from the website. There are many places like this in our area. But you are likely to end up self paying. [/quote]
