I'm 46 and had back problems for over 20 years until I started working out. I've been doing calisthenics for about 2 years and %95 of my problems disappeared. The only thing I lack is flexibility. I'll also work on it but for now improving my strength is the main focus.
Same here. I'm 46, back pain for over 25 years. Several tests inc MRI find nothing wrong and yet I'm always in pain. Certain exercises like rows make it worse. Have to try this hopefully I get some relief.
I went from being an active gymnast to long distance horse endurance rider to athletics instructor strength and conditioning coach delegate and official to now recovering from injury taking a few years now, watching and becoming dynamic is exactly what I need to redeploy myself, I hate pain, it pisses me off makes me cry, I was deliberately injured. I aim to be in my prime again. Your video makes me smile. Thank you.
i pop my lowerback decades ago on a deadlift exercise. during the first 5 mins. the pain was excruciating. i think i was 24 then. i wasnt able to walk of the pain for 5 mins, i was able to endure the pain to reach home then bed ridden for 1 whole day. i fully recover and started lifting again after 2 days of complete rest.. since then never i deadlifted so hard. now the pain goes back whenever i do deadlifts but subside after a few hours or sometimes when i overworked my lowerback. now im 35 yrs old. one evening i did a heavy single leg split squat. everything was good until the next morning, i had to sit for a long period at work. then suddenly without warning, i stood up and felt an excruciating pain on my lowerback, same ive experience 10 years ago. i had to take my leave at work and couldnt walk or stand straight for 3 days straight. on the 3rd day even at pain, i increased my physical activity like walking and carrying my baby around(yes) its still painful but its bearable. at the 4th day, i asked my wife to sit on my lower back and ive heard something popped. then from 80% pain. the pain suddenly subsided and more tolerable than before. on the 5th day i began going to work and resumed my daily activities, without pain. never want to experience this kind of pain again. and will be incorporating this exercises. thank you for the vid.
I wasted my life and am 36 and at one of the lowest times in my life, you give me hope that i might be able to be happy and fit and strong again, when i get out of homelessnes and maybe battle my fistula!
I'm 51 this year and had back problems for 32 of those years. And just like that lovely young guy you MUST have hired, I was told to get used to it. I'm joining your program if you can help me get rid of my 32 year shin splints and tight as F..K calf muscles which apparently is the cause of my back problems 🙏🏽 Much appreciation from 🇦🇺
I was a bboy growing up till my 30's, had to stop because of an injury. Then got into making music, sitting so much, things changed. After a decade forgetting that it was my constant training that made gave me a strong core and amazing athleticism from bboy, never considered it to build it back up. After seeing you flare, listening to you talk about this back issue. It just came back and today I'll be going back to my old training methods, implementing your techniques to get where I know i can be. I'm glad I found this video. I'm sure you're not in Miami so your videos will have to do. Luckily I have insane discipline and with a little time I know I'll hit my goal. Thanks!
You say the right stuff my man! And anybody that can do flairs and windmills over 40 people should listen to when he talks about staying for ! For sure!
Step by step...the enrollment department actually told me the other day we just had a really big influx of surfers into our training recently for some reason
I literally hear no one else than you, despite the many channels I follow on the topic. The quality is so high it feels like stealing from you. Thank you.
i’m 59 years old it’s amazing what you’re talking about I’m experiencing lower back pain. My muscles are tightening up and cramping at night and I do lift weights. Try to come back and do calisthenics but it seems like it does makes it worse. I’m glad I found your channel and I will share it with People, thank you
Wow, a while ago I was trying to come up with foundational goals to fix my back and I figured almost exactly the same. In my case these are now: 1. V-sit, 2. High bridge, 3. Revolved Triangle pose from yoga.
This is amazing. I've been exercising and doing yoga for 30 years with back pain. This morning I did the weighted forward fold and incorporated weighted torso twists for an hour plus. I had moments of disassociation because I felt my back changing and it didn't seem like "my" back anymore. I would shake my legs to make sure it's real then keep stretching with weights. There were some major brain zaps when spots released that have been kinked up for years. It was one of those workouts I'll never forget. I feel like this is the beginning of some awesome! You rock dude. You figured it out.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Been dealing with lower back pain and I've had a hunch its the tight hamstrings. Thank you so much for sharing. Will do these exercises.
Love the no-nonsense breakdown of your training philosophy and ethos and plan of action to fix otherwise intractable issues with injuries to the body...you have my attention sir. Great stuff; definitely a cut above the average youtube fitness guru schlock so saturating the channels.
Just came here to say huge thank you. I was really worried about my lower back recently, I work as a programmer and spend most of the day sitting and sadly both of my favourite sports/hobbies are rough for my lower back - jiu jitsu and voleyball. I have voleyball tournament coming in tomorrow and I was really worried I'm not gonna make it or gonna need a lot of pain killers to go through it. I stumbled across this video couple days ago and even tho I still feel a little bit of a discomfort (played voleyball yesterday so it's understandable) my back feel way better and I feel way more confident! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this and your genius idea from experience. I suffered back pain long time in years. I cannot do weight lifting no more because I know it will just hurt my body more because my body so broken and having so much problem. And now I'm focused with movements and bodyweight exercises to fix me. This will definitely can help I really appreciate it ❤❤❤
Thank you do much for this awesome video. L5-S1 disc herniation, physio, osteopathy, Acupuncture, chiro, medications, TENS, heat/cold packs and still having sciatic pain and trouble walking. Doctor says l need surgery, l said No. I have to try everything possible before that. I am sooooo grateful that l found your video. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I am going to try this because in 32 years of weight lifting 🏋🏻♀️ I can’t put bar behind my back to do a squat when at 16 y old I was squatting 600lbs . My lower back hurts like fluid retention inflammation, my upper back hurts every time after working out shoulders because of the stiffness. I go to physical therapy now for torn elbow ligaments from work injury and the PT told me she never saw anyone with such a stiff shoulders in her career. I’m going to start with the bridges and stretching when I wake up and before sleep. 👍 thanks for the info!
What a fantastic video. I can't believe how lucky I am to have run across this channel! In one week--5 consecutive days in the gym--of resetting my workout program, I feel like I did physically years ago, including my attitude.
@@LeeWeiland My statement was a bit vague. What I started was many of the stretching exercises that you've shown. Particularly lower body flexibility, including the horse stance. Four or five years ago I stopped distance swimming at the beach, bodysurfing, plus walking and running in the sand. And in the gym, I was not stretching at all. I had become frozen like the Tin Woodsman without realizing it.
I am 31 years old. 3 years ago I injured myself during a deadlift (with really low weights too!). It was after the first covid lockdown and I was sitting a lot in that time. I was in good shape, but I guess I underestimated what a month of sitting can do! My height is 186cm and my weight during the injury was 81kg. Now, I am around 73kg. I have done many therapies and visited many docs, telling me I cannot change it. MRI shows my lower discs are bulged and there is no fluid between them due to compression of the discs and tight muscles around the discs. I have watched probably a few hundred youtube videos. My chiropracter told me that my SI joint is always getting blocked (mostly on the right, sometimes on the left side). He thought it could be due to weak pelvic floor muscles. My SI blockade leads to uneven leg length. My posture feels off, I have rib flare on the left, and my shoulders feel uneven, breathing in deep feels weird. Lower back muscles are always stiff, since 3 years, even if i get them losened up, next day, they are stiff again. My ribcage feels out of position. I am doing the exercises from your vid since 3 days and will see how it goes. Thanks for the glimmer of hope! I will give it my all. PS: I also have issues with my bowel (emptying disorder) since 15 years. No idea if this can have any impact on my back pain. I loved my life and I wish to love it again. Greetings from Germany
I recommend olives for too fast and lemon juice for too slow digestion. For the back I know almost the same situation. Still in pain but training core muscles seems to be the key. Also too much sitting and stress makes the hip flexors pull on the lower spine. Relaxing the muscles from the brain seems to be the key. Like a stressed mind keeps those muscles tight. Positive vibes relax those muscles. Practice being in a positive state of mind to keep those hip flexors relaxed.
@@Bkbond After training core for almost a month, the pain didn't improve. I am currently making a longer trip in south east asia and decided to visit a Chiropractor in Kuala Lumpur. He told me things, none of my docs/therapists back home in Germany told me. Apparently, my root issue was SI dysfunction and it was inflammed (bulged discs where just one of the consequences). He manipulated my SI and told me to do nothing for 2 weeks. Walking only and he also showed me how to sit correctly. Also he recommended cooling the area 1-2 a day. I visited him multiple times and when my SI was off, he fixed it. Not sure if inflammation and ligaments can heal properly if the SI joint is blocked. For me it was insane that none of my docs found out about the inflammation and told me to make exercises which made my condition worse and send me to physiotherapy. He told me, you cannot find the inflammation of the nerves in the blood (no idea, if thats accurate). Thats why my blood tests didnt show any inflammation. Wished my docs told me that? Anyway, 2 weeks have passed and I do feel big improvements. I am allowed to do some exercises again, but I mustnt do exercises which causes my SI to work hard and twist, also avoid pelvis rotation until full recovery (could take months). I also found videos afterwards which describe similar methods for SI dysfunction + bulged discs: 1. Simple Solutions to Sacroiliac SI Joint Pain 2. 7 Mistakes to AVOID with Bulging Discs (Don't Delay Your Recovery!) Hope this might help anyone out there. Struggle is real. I will def. will be doing the core exercises, once the inflammation and the ligaments are further in recovery.
@@LM-ss5od Since I am travelling at the moment, it is not easy to recover. My priority is to heal the ligaments of the SI joint. I think the inflammation is still there, so when I do too much, pain increases again. I try to cool the area, eat anti inflammatory food, simple walking. And strengthen muscles around the Hip, without pressuring SI joint too hard. I think I need manipulation again, which sucks due to travelling. How is your state?
I'm struggling to understand why you don't have more followers, as your information and explanations are phenomenal. I have a bulging (L3) disc and I'm finding your videos are helping with the sciatic pain get down my right leg, from my butt to the base of my right knee. Brilliant, keep up the excellent work pal👍👍
I started Pilates/ with resistance bands a year ago and it has helped somewhat. I still get some stiffness in the morning but that is Psoriatic Arthritis. For years the tops of my thighs have been stronger than the back and I'm seeing a shift with the work I've done. Proper form is everything... using the correct muscles.
Im 65 and work out,,,,but I'm now transitioning away away from weights. After seeing this vidéo I'm convinced this and "animal movements" is the way to train. Thank you Lee.
New to your channel. I discovered that dead lifts and loaded squats made my back pain flare up like a firework. I took those off of the menu and it has made a huge difference. I recommend not doing those two exercises ever, if you have low back pain. I use machines like the leg extension, leg press, etc because it loads just my legs and not my back.
Hi Lee. I love your videos and I learned a lot from you and your coaches. Just a quick editing feedback, for me it feels un-natural that cutting of the video in middle of a sentence to the same video horizontally mirrored. Like the one at 2:38. It's wierd because we're in the same scene, but the lightning changes over your face in an instant. It would work great with cutting to a second camera. Love you!
If only scoliosis could be fixed forever. I love your content and hope to have your level of knowledge in physics and anatomy someday. Admittedly I'm a nerd for it and study out of passion but I'm still a long ways away in knowing enough about the body.
@@LeeWeilandI have about a 22 degree thoracic scoliosis myself. I used to let it discourage me from lifting, but I've gotten into pretty damn good shape with time under tension focused lifting as opposed to low rep/heavy weights. Anyway I've heard the old adage of building the small connective muscles for years and after doing some primal flow videos, the algorithm brought me to your channel, and I'm super stoked to implement your techniques! Have you had any experience with any students with scoliosis? Any success stories?
I'm torn. 4 years after a rare spinal cord injury (TM), left me partially paralyzed hips down on my left side I've lost strength and flexibility that PT has not helped with.😢 When I saw this video it was like a light turning on. I'm now suffering all the horrible ailments of tightness and weakness described here. I pray I can find a way to work in some of what you shared here.
Lee, your insparation , wisdom and guidance is profound. on the physical level I'm getting stronger and losing low back pain. you make my mind stronger also. I still suffer with bad sleeping... please make a well rounded sleep vid if you can...thanks so much.
I have lower back pain (over 8 years now) without any structural damage. My issues are muscular. I have seen countless chiropracters, osteos and even a sports med DR. No one can seem to fix this. I am fairly athletic and I am an industrial mechanic. So, my back gets it fair share of abuse. I will start with your variations of hollow holds. If this works, I will plaster your name on every post I ever write.
You were an artist? It speaks to me because though I'm not an artist by profession, I'm afraid my bulging disc came about as a result of long hours spent honing my craft. I got really good, but now I can't squat nor deadlift anymore, and volleyball gives me a lot of pain the next morning. I'm hoping this brings results.
My low back pain was caused by super tight hamstring muscles.... I found out on my own that stretching my hamstrings made the pain go away!! Years of anguish could have been avoided if I would have known this!!!
I live In India, and I relate a lot to your testimonial, I have severe back pain shoulder pain and rhomboid pain, no doctor or therapist was able to solve it … I am really confused and hopeless … I am spending hours researching exercises .I am just 18 and have been injured for 2 years
This was so uplifting to watch and has given me hope on being able to heal my wrist which has a scaphoid fracture of 20 years. Wondering if there's a training that can repair wrist issues? Please let me know if you're aware of anything? In the meantime, I'll be fixing my back problems here. Thank you again
@@LeeWeiland if I had someone close to help me I would. Yet slow and steady wins the race. I may be walking now but in a few months maybe I'll be running. Not expecting to run until next year. I want to be sure my core is strong enough to support the task.
@@LeeWeiland if I can find someone I will. Yet again I've never been a very social person yet in the past 5 years I've been trying to come out of my shell.
I would definitely like to hear your origin story! Thank you for this vid. My low back and hips have been a problem. I’m looking forward to training with you and your team.
Great video 👍🏿 just wondering besides the stretches and exercises if going back to the stretches, is there something to take or supplement to help aide with muscle relaxing to help with the muscle tightness?
Good morning just found your videos its amazing how your type of training makes a lot of sense and is overlooked have one question is can this training help me i had quadruple bypass Open heart surgery 1yr ago at 48 but on a good note had no damage to my heart just a waiting game for healing process i been back to work full time and a volunteer firefighter but i am nervous about working out due to type of surgery i had but i see some ppl talking about they had back and hip surgery and they do this type of training now in my younger yrs was a good athlete and always was into weight training just want to change my ways and be as bulletproof to injury as possible
Thank u foe your great insight I haven't touched my toes in years I will take your advice and hopefully in a few months from now I will be able to do this with out any stiffness I will keep u up dated watch this space I'm 54 yrs old
Please dude. I’ve had low back issues for 12 years. L4-l5. L5-S1 moderate to severe disc bulging. Been lifting weights and running through the pain for years with no hope of fixing it. Countless physical therapy sessions too. I need some program to focus on to fix it. Does bending forward to stretch hamstrings really help? I feel like it shoves the disc further out. Idk if you read comments but anything would be greatly appreciated.
I see so many videos saying dont just bend over and do a static stretch -it hurts your spine (pipe is what you called it I think), but it's the number one pose that feels good on my lower back so I'm glad this is a thing to do. I think most people dont know what they're talking about, but just try to sound convincing for likes/views/ratings... but are in no position to give advice or feedback. Welcome to social media unfortunately. Gotta filter the bs to find the gold. I love the mention of being patient because it can take years. Realistic standards are soooo important but rarely talked about.
I have had posterior bulge on my degenerated discs between L4, L5 and below. I didn’t bend forward into flexion from 2008 to 2019! And made significant recovery and grateful to the Almighty! But doing too much head to knee still gets me aggravated. Not sure yet how to go beyond that as it worries me of flare out leading to the dark and dreadful spasm lockdowns of the past!
Lee, I frequently wake in the mornings with lower back pain and I have found the only way to alleviate this for the whole day is with a Psoas stretch - but I don't want to have to keep doing this for the rest of my life if possible - is this a sign of things being unbalanced ?
I wonder if there're any sprinters out there who incorporate this kinda stuff into their training routines . I suffer from chronic lower back pain and my hamstrings are always so tight till the point that I'm nowhere near close to being able to do the L-sit . learning this stuff might be a game changer for me .
Are exercises which involve the rounding of the back (like the Jefferson curls) supposed to be used when you have a bulged disc have pain during flexion? I have seen advice for people with such conditions, to avoid even the smallest flexion and pain triggers. .. love your content thanks :)
@@LeeWeiland Would it be smart to do mobility exercises like this while there is a bulged disc or should we wait for it to heal passively and then try to work on mobility?

Flexibility is a must have. So is neurological tuning. And mindset is most critical.
@@LeeWeiland Yeah, I know. The thing is I've never done anything that requires flexibility all my life. I'll start doing yoga soon.

PS: I also have issues with my bowel (emptying disorder) since 15 years. No idea if this can have any impact on my back pain.
I loved my life and I wish to love it again.
Greetings from Germany
How are you now
I recommend olives for too fast and lemon juice for too slow digestion. For the back I know almost the same situation. Still in pain but training core muscles seems to be the key. Also too much sitting and stress makes the hip flexors pull on the lower spine. Relaxing the muscles from the brain seems to be the key. Like a stressed mind keeps those muscles tight. Positive vibes relax those muscles. Practice being in a positive state of mind to keep those hip flexors relaxed.
@@Bkbond After training core for almost a month, the pain didn't improve. I am currently making a longer trip in south east asia and decided to visit a Chiropractor in Kuala Lumpur. He told me things, none of my docs/therapists back home in Germany told me. Apparently, my root issue was SI dysfunction and it was inflammed (bulged discs where just one of the consequences). He manipulated my SI and told me to do nothing for 2 weeks. Walking only and he also showed me how to sit correctly. Also he recommended cooling the area 1-2 a day. I visited him multiple times and when my SI was off, he fixed it. Not sure if inflammation and ligaments can heal properly if the SI joint is blocked. For me it was insane that none of my docs found out about the inflammation and told me to make exercises which made my condition worse and send me to physiotherapy. He told me, you cannot find the inflammation of the nerves in the blood (no idea, if thats accurate). Thats why my blood tests didnt show any inflammation. Wished my docs told me that? Anyway, 2 weeks have passed and I do feel big improvements. I am allowed to do some exercises again, but I mustnt do exercises which causes my SI to work hard and twist, also avoid pelvis rotation until full recovery (could take months). I also found videos afterwards which describe similar methods for SI dysfunction + bulged discs:
1. Simple Solutions to Sacroiliac SI Joint Pain
2. 7 Mistakes to AVOID with Bulging Discs (Don't Delay Your Recovery!)
Hope this might help anyone out there. Struggle is real.
I will def. will be doing the core exercises, once the inflammation and the ligaments are further in recovery.
I have the same issues. Curious to know how you are now?
@@LM-ss5od Since I am travelling at the moment, it is not easy to recover. My priority is to heal the ligaments of the SI joint. I think the inflammation is still there, so when I do too much, pain increases again. I try to cool the area, eat anti inflammatory food, simple walking. And strengthen muscles around the Hip, without pressuring SI joint too hard. I think I need manipulation again, which sucks due to travelling. How is your state?
I'm struggling to understand why you don't have more followers, as your information and explanations are phenomenal. I have a bulging (L3) disc and I'm finding your videos are helping with the sciatic pain get down my right leg, from my butt to the base of my right knee. Brilliant, keep up the excellent work pal👍👍
Thanks for the kind words. You're welcome to share the content.
This is probably the best video I have seen that actually has a great program
Thanks for being here
Intresting advices.Have a good day!
Thank you for showing it step by step
I started Pilates/ with resistance bands a year ago and it has helped somewhat. I still get some stiffness in the morning but that is Psoriatic Arthritis. For years the tops of my thighs have been stronger than the back and I'm seeing a shift with the work I've done. Proper form is everything... using the correct muscles.
Cool
Im 65 and work out,,,,but I'm now transitioning away away from weights. After seeing this vidéo I'm convinced this and "animal movements" is the way to train. Thank you Lee.
It's all human movement
New to your channel. I discovered that dead lifts and loaded squats made my back pain flare up like a firework. I took those off of the menu and it has made a huge difference. I recommend not doing those two exercises ever, if you have low back pain. I use machines like the leg extension, leg press, etc because it loads just my legs and not my back.
I'm 43 and ripped. Iv been training calisthenics for 8yrs and I'm incredibly happy to have found this content. Really incredible content 👏👏👏👏
Welcome aboard!
Can i be flexible at my age? im 34 y/o now
You're a spring chicken
@@Sericeous023 how good are your backbends?
Progress?
Thanks Lee.
Thanks for being here
Hi Lee. I love your videos and I learned a lot from you and your coaches. Just a quick editing feedback, for me it feels un-natural that cutting of the video in middle of a sentence to the same video horizontally mirrored. Like the one at 2:38. It's wierd because we're in the same scene, but the lightning changes over your face in an instant. It would work great with cutting to a second camera. Love you!
Haha all good. Lots of editors do that online. We used to use 2nd cam and now maybe we will have to again
What an AMAZING channel!!!!
Thanks for being here
Tell me about it! There isn't another Lee Weiland to be found anywhere, including TH-cam.
Such kind words, thanks
@@LeeWeilandyou deserve them
🙂
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
If only scoliosis could be fixed forever.
I love your content and hope to have your level of knowledge in physics and anatomy someday.
Admittedly I'm a nerd for it and study out of passion but I'm still a long ways away in knowing enough about the body.
🥷💪
@@LeeWeilandI have about a 22 degree thoracic scoliosis myself. I used to let it discourage me from lifting, but I've gotten into pretty damn good shape with time under tension focused lifting as opposed to low rep/heavy weights. Anyway I've heard the old adage of building the small connective muscles for years and after doing some primal flow videos, the algorithm brought me to your channel, and I'm super stoked to implement your techniques!
Have you had any experience with any students with scoliosis? Any success stories?
We've had students with that
I'm torn. 4 years after a rare spinal cord injury (TM), left me partially paralyzed hips down on my left side I've lost strength and flexibility that PT has not helped with.😢
When I saw this video it was like a light turning on. I'm now suffering all the horrible ailments of tightness and weakness described here. I pray I can find a way to work in some of what you shared here.
Msg my team
Dude! Flares are difficult! Used to do them in my 20s but took me forever to get multiple clean rounds.
Thank You, this is inspiring ! I'll do it!
Lee, your insparation , wisdom and guidance is profound. on the physical level I'm getting stronger and losing low back pain. you make my mind stronger also. I still suffer with bad sleeping... please make a well rounded sleep vid if you can...thanks so much.
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for being here. I'll do my best.
🙂
This is the video for me! Low back! 🔥🔥🔥
🔥
Wow - thanks a lot for that content. Exactly what i was looking for!
I have lower back pain (over 8 years now) without any structural damage. My issues are muscular. I have seen countless chiropracters, osteos and even a sports med DR. No one can seem to fix this. I am fairly athletic and I am an industrial mechanic. So, my back gets it fair share of abuse. I will start with your variations of hollow holds. If this works, I will plaster your name on every post I ever write.
Such a great video! I need to get back in shape asap and your videos were the message I needed! 🙏🏾
Thanks, exactly what I needed.
Great
Man... I just love you! Thanks for sharing, hope you live a nice and long life =)
Thanks for being here
Had butt/back pain for 3 weeks, after couple minutes of doing bridge and hollows I felt instant relief. THANKS
Perfect
im going to try this now. thanks for sharing
Thanks for being here
Very informative, keep it up. Cheers
Wow , simply wow , thank you very much.
🥷💪
Thank you very much Mr. Weiland, you are changing my life and the way I train with your videos.
Welcome to training
Great videos just wish you would show in more detail instead of blasting through it. Please do in future videos. And thanks for the info. ❤️
Don't mistake these videos (or any other videos for that matter) for actual instruction.
Just saw this video and it’s so helpful joining the army soon so thank you so much 😅🙏🙏😊
thanks for being here
🙏🙏🙏. Thanks for your videos. They are a great help
Fantastic
Suffering from back pain due to poor posture for a while. I started doing the hollow hole you suggested. How long you recommend for each position?
Depends on your situation msg my team for private training
Thank you for valuable information 😊
You were an artist? It speaks to me because though I'm not an artist by profession, I'm afraid my bulging disc came about as a result of long hours spent honing my craft. I got really good, but now I can't squat nor deadlift anymore, and volleyball gives me a lot of pain the next morning. I'm hoping this brings results.
Yep
Just noticed that you're 15 minutes from my daughter in Anchorage. Trying to send her your way
thank you so much for being such a kind generous human being… world could use more people like you…
Thanks for being here
Great info bro!
Thanks for being here sir
My low back pain was caused by super tight hamstring muscles.... I found out on my own that stretching my hamstrings made the pain go away!! Years of anguish could have been avoided if I would have known this!!!
Now you know
Amazing
🥷
I live In India, and I relate a lot to your testimonial, I have severe back pain shoulder pain and rhomboid pain, no doctor or therapist was able to solve it … I am really confused and hopeless … I am spending hours researching exercises .I am just 18 and have been injured for 2 years
You got this
This was so uplifting to watch and has given me hope on being able to heal my wrist which has a scaphoid fracture of 20 years. Wondering if there's a training that can repair wrist issues? Please let me know if you're aware of anything?
In the meantime, I'll be fixing my back problems here.
Thank you again
Best thing I can tell you is don't rely on videos
5 crushed vertebrae in my lower back. I've been afraid to do normal exercises yet I'll give these a try in depth
Slow and careful...and work with someone seriouslu
@@LeeWeiland if I had someone close to help me I would. Yet slow and steady wins the race. I may be walking now but in a few months maybe I'll be running. Not expecting to run until next year. I want to be sure my core is strong enough to support the task.
Sounds good...get someone to help you along the path
@@LeeWeiland if I can find someone I will. Yet again I've never been a very social person yet in the past 5 years I've been trying to come out of my shell.
Just sms my team they'll help you
I would definitely like to hear your origin story! Thank you for this vid. My low back and hips have been a problem. I’m looking forward to training with you and your team.
Great video 👍🏿 just wondering besides the stretches and exercises if going back to the stretches, is there something to take or supplement to help aide with muscle relaxing to help with the muscle tightness?
Hydration, real food, nothing else in my opinion
Tnx so much for your help to the humanity .
🥷💪
Workouts!!!
I'm gonna need to come back & watch this on x.25 speed and not after a glass of wine...dude hits quick with the info
Sounds about right 😉
Thank you
Good morning just found your videos its amazing how your type of training makes a lot of sense and is overlooked have one question is can this training help me i had quadruple bypass Open heart surgery 1yr ago at 48 but on a good note had no damage to my heart just a waiting game for healing process i been back to work full time and a volunteer firefighter but i am nervous about working out due to type of surgery i had but i see some ppl talking about they had back and hip surgery and they do this type of training now in my younger yrs was a good athlete and always was into weight training just want to change my ways and be as bulletproof to injury as possible
Thank u foe your great insight I haven't touched my toes in years I will take your advice and hopefully in a few months from now I will be able to do this with out any stiffness I will keep u up dated watch this space I'm 54 yrs old
Great
bone spurs & 2 compressed discs here at 55yo & 39 years in the gym
Listen to your body and your coach
Please dude. I’ve had low back issues for 12 years. L4-l5. L5-S1 moderate to severe disc bulging. Been lifting weights and running through the pain for years with no hope of fixing it. Countless physical therapy sessions too. I need some program to focus on to fix it. Does bending forward to stretch hamstrings really help? I feel like it shoves the disc further out. Idk if you read comments but anything would be greatly appreciated.
does this help if the major back pain is caused by herniated disc or arthritis; conversely, will these moves exacerbate those conditions?
Thanks!
Thanks for being here
I see so many videos saying dont just bend over and do a static stretch -it hurts your spine (pipe is what you called it I think), but it's the number one pose that feels good on my lower back so I'm glad this is a thing to do. I think most people dont know what they're talking about, but just try to sound convincing for likes/views/ratings... but are in no position to give advice or feedback. Welcome to social media unfortunately. Gotta filter the bs to find the gold.
I love the mention of being patient because it can take years. Realistic standards are soooo important but rarely talked about.
I have had posterior bulge on my degenerated discs between L4, L5 and below. I didn’t bend forward into flexion from 2008 to 2019! And made significant recovery and grateful to the Almighty! But doing too much head to knee still gets me aggravated. Not sure yet how to go beyond that as it worries me of flare out leading to the dark and dreadful spasm lockdowns of the past!
little at a time, keep going, talk to my team if you want
@@LeeWeiland thanks brother!
Nice video Lee, keep it up!
🥷💪
Great vid🎉 I stopped doing tkd and my pain got worse 😂
Inspired.
Crucnch hollow position is what you called it right? Worked magic on my back after my very first try. THANK YOU
Perfect
Great video...
Thanks and thanks for being here
Can you make a video on pes anserine bursa tendon injury. Thanks.
Your videos are root to the point.
Perhaps
Thanks man this is a real video, I have found a lot of relief in yoga which hits upon man of these moves and holds
Great
Lee, I frequently wake in the mornings with lower back pain and I have found the only way to alleviate this for the whole day is with a Psoas stretch - but I don't want to have to keep doing this for the rest of my life if possible - is this a sign of things being unbalanced ?
Sounds like imbalance...it doesn't need to be lifelong
THANK YOU for Sharing My Brother ...................Assalamualaikum

absolutely right
Thanks for being here
I am a 41 year old firefighter. I’ve got some lower back pain. I’m following your advice. It’s helping a lot. But k need some guidance
Glad it's helpful. Msg my team if you want private training.
With an l5 herniated disc, everything i read says don't bend forward to touch toes. 😅
Depends on various factors, movement, and time
I wonder if there're any sprinters out there who incorporate this kinda stuff into their training routines . I suffer from chronic lower back pain and my hamstrings are always so tight till the point that I'm nowhere near close to being able to do the L-sit . learning this stuff might be a game changer for me .
Of course
Thanks lee
You're welcome
Are exercises which involve the rounding of the back (like the Jefferson curls) supposed to be used when you have a bulged disc have pain during flexion? I have seen advice for people with such conditions, to avoid even the smallest flexion and pain triggers. .. love your content thanks :)
Avoidance is not good...one needs to slowly expand mobility threshold or it will only become worse
@@LeeWeiland Would it be smart to do mobility exercises like this while there is a bulged disc or should we wait for it to heal passively and then try to work on mobility?
Honestly it really depends
