Thanks for the input man! But honestly I’m pretty damn flexible in the hamstrings and glutes. I might think that I need some more strength in some stabilizing muscles of the lower back instead. But then again I ain’t no expert at all 😅
@@tobiasTbager That might be causing you to rotate your pelvis anteriorly, which is straightening out your lumbar spine and reducing the load on your disks. I'm no bike fitter, but have had all of the problems you mention. I now ride with pelvis rotated forwards to put more weight on the pubic rami. The quadratus lumborum and IT band can also be a source of lower back pain and there are stretches for that too. Your hands should also be just floating on the hoods when pedaling under load. If you have too much pressure, then the upper back will not be relaxed and the lower back will then also be tense. Increasing the saddle setback often fixes this. Setback is the most tricky thing to get right, but it often is the source of not being relaxed on the bike.
@bengt_axle Thanks! Yeah I have a lot of trouble getting the setback right, as I also have a lot of pressure on the hands. But it seems like the back pain gets worse when I increase the setback. There I’ve gone to the compromise with the saddle being a bit more forward and a longer stem. This helps with the back but the hands do obviously get a bit more pressure as a result of this
Virkelig godt arbejde med videos!!!
Takker!
Beautiful riding area. Back pain likely caused by tight hamstrings and glutes pulling on the posterior chain.
Thanks for the input man!

Actually just put a longer stem on my bike, which somehow seems to delay the lock up a bit 🤷♂️
