This video is really effective.
This is the best back pain channel on RU-vid. And there are some great ones out there. But this one is my favourite. I love how he always includes scientific papers and studies to back up his lifting tips.
Words wont describe how thankful I am for finding your channel couple years ago and being able to address some of my long-term problems with all the knowledge and exercises you share. Great work James!
These absolutely work. I've been only working on my abs and 2 of these movements for not even 2 weeks and I already feel a huge impact. I'm a runner who periodically gets aching in my lower back after my 2nd to 3rd km. Since I've been doing this I has totally gone away and I haven't have to cut my runs short anymore. Truly life saving techniques here James.
Dr. James! You're truly a blessing! Every single video of yours has been super-informative and has personally helped me find answers for various issues I've faced while working out. Thanks a million and keep this going! The best fitness channel on RU-vid
This is so true! I had many years of almost daily lower back pain that I just thought I had to get used to. I lost 23 lbs and began a workout regimen including exercises to strengthen my lower back and in a week the pain went away and hasn’t came back. When I first started doing those exercises my lower back was sore for a few days but I continued doing them every other day and in no time the pain went away.
This is so true. Heavy deadlifts, back hyper extensions and squats have done wonders for my back. I don't get any lower back pain any more except the once in a while soreness after a heavy back day.
I'm a guy who has been deadlifting and squatting most of my life because of athletics and lifestyle, yet I still have lower back issues. One thing I've learned from my experience is that it pays to do maintenance activities like high volume lower back training AND stretching; tons and tons of stretching. Good video James.
James, I love your channel. Thank you so much for making these videos. I'm trying to rehab my messed up body back to shape and your videos are so helpful. Anything on feet and lower leg strengthening and twisted pelvis or anterior pelvic tilt would be helpful to see. And any videos on what exercises could help open the body back up from years of sitting and not being active, posterior chain re alignment and strengthening.
Thorough and well-presented as always, James. While things are better now, I had regular issue with my lower back for the very reasons you mentioned here. Despite all the deadlifts and squats I was doing it kept flaring up and drove me batty. These secondary exercises are the key and make a massive difference.
I play football (soccer) twice a week, so when I got lower back pains all of a sudden, it really made me question my fitness. This video was so helpful, and I felt really comforted by what you said about even pro athletes having these problems. Gonna incorporate these exercises into my regime, thanks James!
As usual, awesome content with tons of research and scientific background checks. James easily has one of the most well-educated fitness channels on RU-vid. The problem is that the gym we go to doesn't have equipment for back extensions. Is there an alternative exercise/equipment that activates the lower back in the same way?
