A better way to do curls is leaning your back against the wall. Not only do you not strain your back, but all the lifting power comes from your arms because your back doesn't help.

 

At my gym the back extension thingy is in front of a mirror. So when chicks are doing their back extensions anyone can peep her ass and it'll totally be cool.

 

Just started to get back into the routine. Im eating healthy and starting to hit some weights. Can wait to look and feel better. Holllaaaaaaaaa :hay:

 

I need to stop drinking beer...like seriously. FUCK

 

Don't work out if you have any back problems. Your body uses your back for a lot of balance, and working out stresses your body enough when you're perfectly healthy. Pace yourself, and recovering from injury should always take precidence.

Especially lower back injuries. It will probably take a while to get over it, but I would look into getting some massage therapy on it. I had some done on my lower back and it felt a lot better, along with some of the electrical stimulation shizzle.

I just concluded my first month back after the shoulder injury yesterday. Only worked out 3 days/week, didn't do any shoulder/back exercises except rotator cuff rehab stuff. Did super light weights, high reps...just trying to strengthen my shoulder up for the heavy lifting winter sesh. Might try and work out a little more often now, we'll see. I really need to start running...might start today in fact.
