Herniated Disc

Thank you for the explanations. It's given me additional thoughts about my form which is not ideal. Better learn to do the exercise perfectly at lower weight than keep pushing so-so.

That's the right attitude to have Rossi - ensuring that your form is correct will lead you to a stronger body and take you away from injuries. In any case, if you ignore the injury aspect, if you're not using correct form, you're not doing the exercise so you'll never benefit from it as intended. That sounds like a waste of time to me.....

Don't get me wrong - cheating upon occasion can have its place - but only when it's applied with care and consideration.

Good luck with your training : )

Hey, lots of tight hamstrings etc here.plus, lots of back pain (30+ years). It is suprising that when I lift I do feel better not worse and when I lay off then the back pain does get worse. I bought the book Magnificent Mobility and hoping it will help. Also what about inversion? Any good feed back out there?
