Dr. says it's back muscle pain probably due to not stretching before I went HAM on Burpees and shadow boxing.
It's been almost 2 weeks now. The pain is lessening over time, but my back is still stiff and i'm trying to get back to working out. Anyone have experience with back pain before? What I'm I looking at here? Are Deads and Squats out for good?
Help a breh out
I've had my back go out while working on a construction project. I was drilling downward into wood, I heard a pop. Then, I could hardly move. I had to walk like an old man, small steps while walking and talking one step at a time going up and down stairs. It took some downtime of not doing any weight lifting. Your lower back muscles get activated doing so many things you don't even realize until your back is out. Couldn't do chest, bicep, lats, or tricep exercises.
Anyway, I'm very careful when lifting stuff, like luggage, or crates, boxes, anything heavy. I try to use my legs to do the heavy lifting. Don't twist your back while lifting or have my upper body angled.
You'll when your back has recovered. I would take it easy when doing squats for the first time. Start with zero weight. Then, move onto the fixed weight barbells. The kind that are between 10 to 100 lbs and the bars are about three feet long. Once your body feels confident lifting low weights, then you can move on to usual lifting.
I would suggest you stretch more often and go for more flexibility after cardio and leg workout days. You should be pushing your flexibility farther to prevent future injuries.
