    Me too! I have been crying all day yesterday bc I have two back discs and nerves that are totally damaged. The Dr told me that I can't do any workouts involving lower back in my life😞 no dead lifts or squats. I am such a workout lover! I am happy I found this too

    This videos couldn’t come at a better time. I’ve been suffering from sciatica pain for the past 7 months bc of a L5 S1 bulging disc. Just had my 3rd ozone shot and feeling much better, before I couldn’t even put my socks on without that shooting pain, now I can put my shoes painless again! Today is the first day that gyms reopen here in Oregon so that pre workout in conjunction with the tips at the video would definitely help me get back on track!! 🙏🏼💪🏼

    Fun fact: I was an obese teenager who spent all my time playing video games. At 19, I lost about 50 lbs and began to notice loose skin so I decided I wanted to build a "little bit" of muscle.I found a workout plan called "Big Man on Campus" by one Steve Cook. I'm now 27, with a physique I used to dream about, and am graduating from UCF with a B.S. in Exercise Science.

    Hey Steve- Just wanted to say hey and say that I liked your vlog. Im a retired cop from central NY. Been in the gym for prob half my life. Several years ago I injured my back and now have a herniated disc in my lower back. Delt with it mostly by myself through the years but have seen a chiropractor on occasion. Recently I " threw it out again" but this time it was different. Ended up in the ER and came home with muscle relaxers and pain medication. Want to get back in the gym but was hesitant to train my lower body. Your video was extremely informative and gave me some hope to continue training. Thank you again and as always TRAIN ON!

Single leg squat, with resting foot on a bench/stair 2. Front dumbbell squat with lower weights 3. Hamstring bridge (feet further away from glutes) 4. Leg press, Machine squat press I recently recovered from L4 bulge and L5-S1 herniated disc in 3 months. Still don't do high risk or heavy weight lifting.

Then I too THEM on as a client and shot their maternity session a few months later. Delivering their sneak peak today!
