I just destroyed my back

[Natural Man]

Natural selection, What else?





Lol at "i took a couple of aleve and let the water run on my back in the showers"... I'm sure it helped a lot...  

[Big Worm]

So today I was doing deadlifts and i was working my way up in weight and on one of the sets (that was not anywhere near max) as I began to pull it off the floor i heard/felt a pop in my lower back.  I immediatly dropped the weight and was on the floor. I  took a couple of aleve and let the water run on my back in the shower.  Anyways its been a couple of hours and its bearable when i am standing or walking but if i sit down the pain is terrible.  I don't have any pins and needles or pain down my legs so I don't think I slipped a disk.

Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with this?

Stretch,stretch,stretch.. !  Don't sit there and let it get soar.. I had my kids walk on my back and pull my arms back,stretching me .. Then lie on your back,raise your legs,and then fall to the side,while your shoulders are flat on the ground.. It'll hurt for a few days,but it'll start to loosen up..

Simliar thing happened to my dad when he was lifting a stone - loud noise and pain.
Took a good 2 months to heal.

Ice, anti-imflammatories, stim. Go see doc. From DL, possible SI strain but since you heard and felt a "pop" who knows. If you feel it low on either side of your lumbar going up the side check for QL strain. Either way you're not dead lifting for awhile.

BTW, TA suggested a tennis ball, for this type of injury its too soon for trigger point (we do a ton of trigger point therapy) if anything start with a foam roller (black one) and even that maybe too much right now.

Is that what its called?  I had a bit of a pull about 2 months ago doing bent over rows.  The interesting thing was I was going VERY LIGHT and focus on squeezing the muscle deep with a deep arch in the back.  Usually I try to go as heavy as I possibly can with form being a bit looser as the weight increases.

The Perfect Form, Arch in the back and the light weight did me in, but the Heavy Weight never has? 

I immediately did the Tennis Ball thing and did it for a few days until I felt the knots break up.  2 weeks later or so and it was finally done.  Too soon for that you say?

I had the same thing once or twice.

Good to hear from the other responses in this thread it doesn't seem like it's anything too serious.  I always imagine I ruined a nerve or something which led to less muscle activation.  Hopefully just my imagination.

So who won that tilt, you or newmom?

fuck off

Yes....and only found remnants of your mom

You should have used a spotter

Stay away from the gym, when you can start to stretch, don't take any days off from stretching, and start to put moderate strain on your back by doing things such as cardio on the stationary bike. This is how I am rehabing my back.

dead lifts lol,, deasd lifts are for no ones like layne nortom

let me ask you something friends,, but realy thikn about it before you bring me some video of some moron doing dead lifts,, when was last time you remember seeing philsulina or jason doing dead lifts lol i ask you truthfuly lol when? lol

bodybuild = ALL DRUGS,, get it in your head,, no matter what jamaica boy want it to be ,, it is all drugs and respond to it ,,

you can do dead lifts from morning to night and only thin you will  get is injuries and strong bones,, look at matt c for god sake lol it is straight out walking joke ,, matt c development is a walking joke and he does so much heavy dead lift...

i ask you here to evaluate what you do ,, you want to be bodybuild? or you want to do balonie for the whores to look at you and then out their arms on your gut when they take pictures with you,,

we dont play with those balonie exercises you do ,, we may do it for camera once in a while but we dont develop ourself with that ,, we work around it ,, we are dragged and letargic who the fuck will do dead lifts when drug and letargic ,, we work smart and heavy but more importantly SMART!

what exercises do you like for back gh15? and how do you suggest doing them?

lately ive been focusing on pulldowns with very strict form and light weight, squeezing the muscle. but the past couple workouts ive felt like i can get a better contraction by leaning back slightly as opposed to staying verticle.  thoughts?

[cephissus]

gh15 i've heard growth hormone can help heal ligaments and tendons.  does injecting gh like bodybuilders do help repair minor tears and such?

I believe Deadlifts are one of the best exercises if you are a Lifetime Natural.  

[dr.chimps]

Destroyed back!? Been there. Done that.

First week:

1) Ibuprofen. As much as needed.

2) Stay as active as possible. Your back will rehab/respond better and faster to low-level stimulation than immobilization. Do what you can.

[apply85]

And btw I feel for you man, this whole time I've been posting every day on getbig, it's cuz I hurt my back and can't work, you can see a doctor, but what are they gonna do? What is there to do for disk problems? Pretty much nothing. The worst thing you can do is lay around because that will atrophy your back muscles, you gotta not do anything gym related and then when you can start to stretch every day, that's how you exercise a muscle after the injury threshold  has been lowered, stretch stretch stretch

[stuntmovie]

 I have to agree with Dr Chimps once again unless something is broken. If I knew ya and if you rusted me, I'd take you out a mile or so and throw you overboard and make you swim to shore.

The fear and the long distance swim seems to be a great remedy for friends who suffer serious back problems. ANd I do mean "serious".

But if you can't swim, you're up Shit Creek.

Listen to Dr. Dutch......

It´s acute lumbago, probably the quadratus lumborum. Forget about heavy lifting for a while, do not try to `train around it` to soon. Taking antiinflammatories is a good idea, but be carefull with `a few aleves`, it´s bad to take more than the max. dosage. Some antispasmolytics like valium can be good as well. It´s better to stay moving with painkillers than to stay immobile without them.
Heat-cold showers may feel good but won´t do anything to speed up the healing. Massage won´t help either, shitting around with tennisballs is oke if you want to look like an idiot, but are useless too.
Take care !

Whats your thoughts on prostate massage Doc ?

[el numero uno]

Ask Bay for a back massage 

[gh15]
