      Conventional Deadlifts, good mornings, and rdls.

      You do Deadlifts, but every gymcel on this board tells you not to.

      deadlifts and hipthrusts are both good to improve that area, even if you might be able to lift way above your bodyweight with either of those exercises i would recommand to start slow and add weights as you progress.

      Snatch. Grip. Deadlifts.

      Reverse hypers take stress off the lower back because you are laying on a bench.
      Do hyperextensions instead.

      No every dyel on this board tells you not too. Had some back pain since one of my legs is longer than the other so tend to not have a straight spine and legit deadlifted twice and that shit was gone.

    Reverse hypers when done strict are good for building the tissue, when done more fast and loose they're good for spinal decompression. GHRs and good morning's are probably the next best bet.

    I tried doing a backflip like an actual fricking moron yesterday and landed directly on my lower back. I used to have a shitty lower back but started good mornings, dead hangs, deadlifts which fixed everything but I pulled a stupid stunt like that and I’m in so much pain. I just wanna workout but I feel like I need to heal from this one.

      On the bright side the muscle mass there probably cushioned your spine and shit. Maybe you would have been paralyzed had you not been working your back out.

        Maybe. I regret doing such a stupid stunt. It’s already going away gradually but it could’ve been so much worse. It’s just a bit annoying it hurts enough still that I can’t really work out for a day or two so my workout schedule is now messed up. Anyways dead hangs are great they corrected the frick out of my back and posture I’ve been doing them for years.

          Do wall sits (until your injury gets better)/horse stance holds and you'll be amazed.

          Deadhangs, Horse Stance Holds & Hindu Push Ups are the best for posture correction.

            I do wall sits sometimes already but I’ll try the rest out once I’m better. Thanks for the insight I’ll see how it goes.

          What type of deadhangs? There seem to be a couple of different versions

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            Nothing too fancy. Just normal grip, arms spread kinda like the beginning of pull-up position. I’ve never tried reverse grip ones but they are probably better for the forearms same with ring deadhangs. I don’t really use them for forearm/grip training but you definitely could if you wanted to but it might not be the most efficient. It’s more of a decompression stretch for me.

    how has nobody mentioned kettlebell swings? they're PERFECT for this

      Because you pretty quickly hit a wall when it comes to progression considering nobody makes very heavy kettlebells.
      They're good for conditioning, they're ass for building strength.

            You only need about 50-75% of your own weight in KG to feel something when it comes to endurance work.

            Its great tool for hypertrophy and ballistic strength gains though if you are stuck at home with no gym nearby.

        you should never take a hip hinge / back extension exercise to failure, or even close to failure. That's a good way to cause damage.

        The back is primarily made of type 1 fibers anyway, which means it's made for endurance long haul type of exercise.

          I'll just go on a run at that rate.

            weighted cardio is not cardio. I don't think you understand how muscles work or the henneman size principle.

            The accumulation of microdamage in the spine can build up over time, especially when talking about disc herniation. You may not feel anything now, but you may be compromising the integrity of your discs.

            Considering you are likely a roid troony or at least very fat, I assume you don't care much about your long term health anyway.

              99 out of 100 times that someone thinks they slipped a disk nothing happened and it's just stress causing the pain. Ballistic strength doesn't mean anything, strength is already functional, microdamage is just a nocebo to scare you into buying a book.

                >slipped a disk nothing happened and it's just stress causing the pain

                there is no such thing as slipping a disc. There is disc herniation in which the outer wall of the disc becomes comromised, allowing the nucleus of the disc to protrude, commonly causing nerve compression and entrapment, and then there is vertebral body slippage, also known as spondye-girlsthesis which is commonly caused by a pars defect or some sort of structural anomaly in the lamina. Both of these conditions can lead to degenerative neurological changes.

                You do not posses the breadth of knowledge to comment on these issues.

                You are neurotic and your coping mechanisms have forced your mind to physically manifest the stress as back pain.

                the majority of people that have pars defects do not even know they have them until they fracture them completely or they get an xray of their stomach or pelvis and an astute radiologist spots it.

                My cousin recently introduced my family to his flaming gay boyfriend.
                It was a huge deal and about half of the family shut him out.
                He even did the fairy voice and everything.
                He constantly talks about hot button left wing issues and gives the worst takes humanly possible despite no one being interested.
                Somehow you're gayer than my gay of a cousin and even more vocal about it.
                Look, nursing school is tough but I believe you can make it through.
                LGBTQIA+ support only from me, you've got this buddy. You prove the medical review board wrong when they say "Clinically diagnosed morons can't be trusted to work in healthcare".

    Highly recommend back extensions, it's a great exercise. Other than that most hinge movements will work it just fine, RDLs worked great for me. Snatch grip deadlifs feel good as well, but I don't have a lot of experience with these yet, only have been doing them for a few weeks.

    I’ve had the same question for a while, and I’ve discovered that the best way to build up strength and muscle - almost like an armour protecting your back during daily activities, picking things up, etc - is consistent deadlifting.
    Specifically, NOT your 1rm, or really even too close to it. Particularly as a novice lifter, it’s far too easy to frick your shit up. Just lift frequently and the gains will come.

    just did 3 sessions with a physio for right side lumber/thoracic muscle/nerve damage.

    The program to strengthen:

    1. Squats - Barbell
    2. Single leg bridge
    3. Dumbell RDL
    4. Resisted Crab walks
    5. Side plank w/ clam shell
    6. Sitting glute stretch
    7.Cobra pose
    8. Thread the Needle

    unironically, compound lifts
    squats, conventional deads, bench with leg drive all train your lower back
    90% of what i train is main barbell lifts and their variations for higher reps (ssb squats and deficit deads in particular) and my lower back is disproportionately developed relative to my overall physique (i'm 5'10 and 160lbs for reference)
    also farmers walks
    picrel is my back
