Low Back No No’s

Low Back NoNo Exercise Tip #4,005-4,008:

  • Stay away from Good Mornings. Too many things can go wrong and if you mess up even a tiny bit you will hurt your spine, low back muscles, hips, and glutes.
  • Do NOT do conventional Barbell deadlifts if you have mechanical issues, poor flexibility, bad range of motion, or pre-existing back issues. Usually (with proper form) 1 Dumbbell or Barbell Sumo Deadlifts, Deadlifts with a Hex Bar, or Deadlift machines are a safer alternative if supervised by a smart trainer or coach.
  • We have to not only strengthen our low backs but our glutes/buns & hips in order to perform safe and effective Deadlifts.
    -Deadlifts are NOT all they are cracked up to be so before you even try them make sure they are even necessary for your weight loss/weight gain/or sports conditioning plan.
