  • A disc bulge is NOT the end of the world. You can often return and get back to lifting heavy without any pain. However, you MUST understand how to stabilize your spine.

    ____________________________________
    When the spine is compressed under load (like when lifting), a healthy disc helps distribute that load evenly across the entire vertebral bone. When a disc bulge occurs, load is no longer evenly distrusted but is instead shifted to the posterior aspects of the spine (the facet joints).
    While the pain from a disc bulge may eventually “burn out” in a few weeks or months, the mechanics of how the spine is instantly changed. The way in which the spine carries load from there on is affected at that particular segment and forces are now shifted to the facet joints. Overtime this overload of the facet joint could lead to arthritis and the development of pain.
    So if you want to continue to lift with a history of a bulging disc, you must learn to stabilize your spine. This starts with the McGill Big 3 core exercise program. Check it out here: • The 3 Best Core Exerci...

      My MRI shows two discs with "flat protrusion" - is that the same as a bulging disc? I have low back pain which radiates down my leg and nobody knows why. It's just very little normally but get's painful after lifting. Can I still apply the gist of this video, which is doing core stability training as you show in th-cam.com/video/2_e4I-brfqs/w-d-xo.html ?

    Thank you so much Doc! I have been following the McGill method for a while now due to a back injury in April 2020. I have been creating the stiffness required for lifting again. Seems to be a very slow process for me. I tried lifting very light again this week but experienced a tight low back and nerve pain in my legs the following day. The explanation on the injury cascade is spot on. I have been struggling with not lifting and got impatient. Now I have the knowledge as to why I had the pain... insufficient stiffness around the injured joint. I will continue with the rehab process and return to lifting when my body is ready. Thanks again.

    Great content! Most people will end up with a disc bulge at one point or another in their lives. Some will present with symptoms while others won’t . I feel it is vital to keep the core tight during hinging and squatting movement patterns regardless if there is a history of a disc bulge or not.

    @Mrtunneling 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Great video Aaron, just wanted to run this by you. 2 days ago I worked up to a decent high bar back squat single @9.5RPE. I made this lift and have every confidence that I could hit it, however after a really good descent and reversal, I felt my a tightening sensation, like a rope being pulled taut in my right lower back region, right at my sticking point. I finished the lift. I've felt a similar thing last year, however not from a single rep, and did a really nice pull pull stretch while in the 90/90 position. This really helped me in the past and stopped the spasm from continuing. I checked the video of my squat and it seemed that in my desire to bring my hips under the bar to maximize my quad drive out of the hole, my pelvis tucked into posterior pelvic tilt. It's a barely noticeable tuck but I reckon that some lower back stabilizer just went taut as a defense mechanism. So getting to the point, I've always braced and feel really good about my technique, 360 degree, creating a tonne of stiffness in the process but I've never really focused on keeping my low back in extension. Do you think one should actively provide an extension force in the low back to prevent the natural rounding that may happen as the hips are brought back under the bar in the ascent of the squat. How do you feel about active extension of the low back, generally as it applies to strength training? I've heard Mike Israetel commenting on extension ( in the squat) being inherently safer but then I'm worried that in my focus on slight/active extension, I'll lose some ab/anterior tension. Have you come across this pelvis tucking under high loads as one brings their hips under the bar? Hope this finds you well.

    Simply Amazing! 🙏 Having watched over a thousand + videos regarding herniated disc and recovery, never did I learn that even if your disc recovers, your facet joints might take the brunt of your most movments and can develop their own problems.
    Would the stressed ligaments/facets then become very tender to touch in comparison to rest healthy ones ?
    Can this problem appear on a MRI?

    if you have stenosis from a herniated disc (what I have) - absolutely do not do squats. Stenosis is serious. Do your PT exercises to fix your core. Don't think for a second that simply doing squats or crunches will fix your core. There are muscles that need specific weird exercises to get worked.

At first I thought it was joint pain from maybe too much extension on accident in some movements when I’m really trying to prevent my back from rounding (rounded back under loaded squat caused herniation in the first place) but it sounds like I still need to work on my core stability daily in my training indefinitely to make sure this doesn’t come back. I suppose then I could be feeling isolated faucet joint pain? 🤔 mobilization of my lower back doesn’t seem to help it so this video seems spot on about emphasis on stability completely

    That was a great explanation of the problem. I am unfortunately in the this category, multiple disc injuries have now lead me to have facet joint problems.
    I was hoping to see some actual reccomendations for actual exercises once this occurs. I don't feel like i can or should squat at all now and get conflicting advice from different physios. Would you be able to reccomend any exercises for someone in my position?

    It's hard to rehab your spine correctly if you don't know the full extent of the damage to the structures of your spine - and this is often difficult to say for sure even using MRI.
    Also if the problem has a neuropathic pain component then no amount of rehab will get you relatively pain free and lifting again.

    Great introduction to micro-movement/instability. I have lumbar disc issues and find both back squat and heavy deadlifts problematic, even though I can stabilise well. I work around the problem with variations: goblet/front/box squats; Romanian deadlifts etc. thoughts?

    I had an injury last year, I had been doing the Mcgill big 3, and I had fully recovered from the injury or so I thought. Today I did RDLs with perfect form - bracing the core and everything dr. aaron suggested. But after the lift I was keeping the empty bar back and felt the “shock” and I told to myself REALLLYY!!??? an empty bar😭😭. I am so scared to overload any of the deadlifts anymore, if this could happen after the lift I dont even want to do it anymore.

    I believe barbell shrugs front or behind the neck tend to hurt my c5 c6. I’ll never ever do barbell shrugs again. Dumbbells only. Can heavy dumbbell shrugs with proper form help me avoid it from coming back?

    I'm 18 and I was doing a bunch of unweighted explosive deep squats and I think I had my back arched a little, kinda like the girls on instagram that want to make their butt look better, and I felt this piercing pain that was pretty sudden, I did a couple more squats and then suddenly I found it hard to move my back in any direction; hard to get on the ground, put on socks, or move at all for the first couple of days. Now its just a nagging pain 5 days later. It hurts when I, again, try to put socks on, but other than that it just feels like there's something being pinched in between 2 bones.

    Are the reebok nanos an ideal shoe for deadlifts? Or are they elevated?

    • @SquatUniversity
      @SquatUniversity  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! And it depends on the person. I think most powerlifters will use a more flat sole shoe where as weightlifters who are doing deadlifts are doing them for the purpose of strengthening the clean and snatch pull (so they'll usually use their weightlifting shoes). So I'd say for most who aren't looking for sport specific work, a flatter sole shoe works great. Reebok nanos are a fairly flat shoe (they're maybe 3-4mm drop I believe).

    been fighting pain due to bulging disc on my lower back, specifically on the left leg since December 2019. But been working out and rehabing since January and the process is slow and painful. I've seen some relief and some improvements, but there are days where the pain flares up, maybe even weeks, but continuing to grind it. Overall goal for 2020 is to be functionally healthy and have mobility/flexibility. Not focusing on gaining muscle or losing weight necessarily but just getting back to being healthy again.

    Hi I have a question:
    The first time I had disc pain was about 8 years ago, back then the doctors didn't do any tests and told me that it was most likely a torn muscle.
    I rested for about 2 months and started gradually lifting weights and doing sports again.
    It happened another time about 3 years ago and the doctors would have told me the same had I not insisted on a CT scan which showed a (minor) herniation between l4 and l5. But then again I was only ordered to rest and had some underwhelming ''physiotherapy''.
    Now I am having disc problems again so my Question is:
    How important is the process of Rehab that you have mentioned? And how do you exactly go about Rehab? I am sorry to say that my doctors are not really interested in properly treating that problem (maybe because they encounter it way too often) and just tell me to ditch Jogging and weightlifting altogether...

    How long can it take for these disc injuries to heal themselves? I’ve had a disc injury for almost 5 years now. It’s completely gone out on me twice to where I can’t even walk for a day or two, but most of the time it’s pretty manageable as long as I don’t lift anything too heavy in a bent over position

    Hey, I got a bad disc on l5-s1 due to some lower spine rectification and I don't have pain during squats or deadlifts. The pain comes on the next day after a deadlift session, no irradiation to legs... I feel like it's related to posterior chain muscles tightness, the pain usually goes away after warmup. Any ideas?
    Love the channel and the external rotation torque set up for the squat has really improved my form here. Ty!

      I'll take more time off deadlifts this time, 1 or 2 months after the pain go away and then try again.

    Seems like back injuries are inevitable (or there is a high probability of one occurring) in the long run in this game. With all of the forces of the weights, just being a little bit off with bracing, or a little bit off with the spine being in neutral and you are on your way to spinal problems as the years and decades go by. Point is, most people don't have picture perfect form 100 percent of the time, each workout, each rep, year after year after year....
