The Low Back Pain Solution (DO THIS FIRST!)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you have ever had back pain or you are dealing with it right now, you know how debilitating it can be. In this video, I’m going to tell you the truth about back pain and what you really need to do to fix it permanently. All too often, you are told to rest in order to alleviate your symptoms. The problem is, this is exactly the opposite of what you should do if you want to get rid of back pain forever and never have it return.

You must exercise and get stronger if you want to fix all back related issues. That said, the first thing you need to do is make sure you know what type of back pain you are dealing with. See a physician or physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis of your particular problem.
In all cases, regardless of what your specific diagnosis is and even if you wind up having the rare surgery necessary to fix your condition, you are still going to need to exercise your back muscles and get them stronger if you want to have no recurrence of your pain.
With that said, I put together a step by step plan for you so you can start doing something about your pain right away and start feeling better by the time today is over. If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to watch the following video on how to fix low back pain instantly.
How to Fix Low Back Pain (INSTANTLY!)
• How to Fix “Low Back” ...
It has helped millions of people who have had intense low back pain and have tried seemingly everything. This simple sequence is something that may be a game changer for you and help position you for doing the exercises shown in the rest of this video better.
Regarding the low back exercise sequence you want to follow in this video, here you go.
1. Start with a bar hang. The key is to keep your toes in light contact with the ground in order to allow your hips and pelvis to drop and give your low back muscles a chance to release. Any joint compression issues you may be having in the spine will be helped by this move as well. 60 second hangs a few times a day are a great place to start and will likely not aggravate any pain you might be having at the moment.
2. Perform either a banded or cable seated row. The key is to keep the load extremely light here. This is all about the range of motion and getting the muscles of the upper back to start firing while driving some blood flow to the muscles of the lower back. Get that good stretch at the bottom of every rep to help loosen up those lumbar paraspinals.
3. The reverse hyper is something that everyone can do (either on the edge of a bench or bed) and will be the first move to get the all important activation of the glutes initiated. We know that the long term solution to your low back pain is going to rely on stronger glute muscles that work in concert with the muscles of the low back. This is easy and can be done pain free essentially anywhere.
4. The hyper row takes this glute activation to the next level and provides you with the opportunity to hold some extra weight in your hands to additionally strengthen the muscles of the low back and lats. Even though the back lifts first here, it’s still the glutes that should be contracting and bracing in order to drive the movement of the upper back.
5. In the first of three exercises on your feet, we start with the pullthrough. Only after you’ve mastered the ability to perform the other exercises up to this point pain free would you move onto this. That said, when ready you start here. This allows for you to drive the kinetic chain from the ground up and use some substantial weight to continue to build the muscles of the entire posterior chain.
6. The deadlift will build upon the proper hinge learned during the pull through and overload the muscles of the entire posterior chain even more effectively. Most people dealing with back pain feel that they will never deadlift again. That is the exact opposite thought of what you should have and need to do if you want to overcome this debilitating issue once and for all.
7. Finally, the barbell row is something you should move to only when you have built the stability and strength of the back with the previous exercises.

Thank you for this, Jeff. I spent many years in my 20s and 30s in agonizing pain, hopped up on pain killers, and spending a fortune on chiropractors, because of two herniated disks between my shoulder blades. NO ONE told me to build up my back muscles and neck muscles. They only treated the symptoms, over and over and over. Once I learned how to strengthen my back muscles the herniated disks vanished, and now in my 50s I am stronger and healthier and PAIN FREE, than I was at half my age.

As a PT, I always appreciate the information you put out there for the general public. Please don't ever stop making these videos. I recommend some of my patients to your channel as a reference when I discharge them. That way, they can continue to develop strength and mobility at a higher level. There are a lot of incorrect information on youtube that can lead to more dysfunction in people following their advice so I try to filter it out for them. Please keep up the good work! Much appreciate it!

I can attest to all of these excercises. My physio recommend all of these to build up my back and glute muscles due to a very painful herniated disc. I worked at it consistently for FIVE years to avoid having a spinal fusion operation ($10,000). Today I am pain free, more flexible, stronger and never had to go for the operation. BUT, you have to be commited and CONSISTENT. I'm one of those disciplined people and enjoy being physical, but it was hard work. I'm 61 btw, so no excuses.

@@cn1878 I forgot to mention my pain was so debilitating I could only walk 300 metres and then I would have to sit down, rest and stretch my legs, but everyone will have different levels of pain. Here is what I did: 1) ALWAYS warm up before you train. Jeff has a good video on warm ups for lower back. I found the cardio rowing machine to be good with some stretches. 2) Use your environment as a gym to the extent your pain can handle it. Indoors and outdoors. I do what I call "leg pumps" whenever I see a flight of stairs. I don't take escalators, I "leg pump" by taking two steps at a time. It gets the glutes and legs going. My mates laugh at me but it's part of graduation to the more challenging gym exercises. I still do them today even though I'm better and some of my mates join in now. 3) I found a good warm up helped me to train through the pain. Funnily, when I trained in the gym the pain wasn't that bad, but the next day I would feel it, but it was more of a "good" pain. I guess what I'm saying is you graduate your way through the more challenging gym exercises and start light. Don't compromise form. Leave your ego at the door, go light weights, have good form, concentrate on mind-muscle connection and be consistent ... turn up.

This is encouraging. I have a slight slipped disc apparently (don't we all) and a couple years ago the Barbell row made my back snap really bad so now I'm hesitant about that exercise. Do you have any tips on how strong to get in these earlier moves in the video until it's time to move on to the more advanced stuff? I'd love to really get my back in shape but I don't want to hurt it again.
As a decently tall guy (190 CM) working an office job, I used to get these kinds pains all the time. Since I started working out following Jeff's advice, these pains stopped happening. The last time this kind of pain happened to me is more than 2 years ago. Thank you Jeff!

I'm only 22 years old and I'm a metal worker. I had a lot of back pain after my shifts and Jeff your old video on back pain training helped me SO much and your other videos just about how to lift things properly in general. People in industrial lines of work NEED this information desperately and need to know how to properly lift things. I do those back pain exercises religously and I've never had a problem since. I can't thank you enough!
2:11 - Bar Hang (toes touching the ground) 3:23 - Seated Row (cables or weight band) 4:48 - Reverse Hyperextension (lay chest on bench, keep legs straight, lift feet up). Note that Jeff did a separate video on this exercise (by itself) for fixing low back pain, so this may be the best one to do! 5:47 - Hyper Row - (lay on your chest on a bench with feet under a piano or countertop or something, raise your back, then at the top of the extension, do a row with dumbbells, one arm at a time) 6:44 - Pullthrough (cable or weight band) 7:38 - Deadlift 8:57 - Barbell Row
Jeff has helped me become extremely knowledgeable in health and fitness, probably more than NASM has. Definitely appreciate you bro!
Reading these comments and stories gives me so much hope. I’ve been in terrible pain for over a year now. Shooting and stabbing pain on my entire left side all the way down to my foot. The mornings are brutal and I’ve seen chiropractors and physical therapists here and there. X-rays revealed nothing. Just got an MRI finally after PT was not yielding results. Not only is my body suffering, but a few years ago I suffered a horrendous mental breakdown, which had many residual affects, and I severely struggle with physical touch. This pain has forced me to confront way more than I’d anticipated, but I’m so ready to have my life back. I used to cycle and mountain bike, but the seat causes too much discomfort to tolerate. I walk everyday and am still active. I miss the old me....but am trying desperately to get to the other side. Thank you all for your rehab stories. I want so badly to be well again.

Thank you so much for making this video. I have waited a long time for this, your last has helped me a lot getting relief of my back pain. Keep making such video, people need it more than your expectations. God bless you.
I injured my back at work rescuing a 308 Ib man. I hearniated my L5-S1 disc so bad I was having sciatica in my left leg and urinary incontinence issues. 1 year and 6 months later I was back at work after many excercise similar to the ones you show excluding the deadlifts. Fast forward 3 years after many rescues and zero issues I had to rescue a 490 lb man. Now I'm back to square 1. But now I have sciatica in both legs and feet. The problem is when rescuing large immobile people is that you cannot keep a symmetrical stance when pulling up from the ground with uneven loads, through small gaps and around corners. There is only so much the spine can take even when in good shape. When In perfect alignment the discs can handle phenomenal forces. Put them at any angle outside of nuetral and it's a gamble.
The explanations are going on in another level 👏🏻🔥

This video was extremely helpful. It’s sums up my lower back injury. Weak glutes resulting in no support. This all forces the muscle around the lumbar spine to take responsibility for loads that they cannot deal with

Jeff, how long are we "supposed" to be sore/tight after a workout, and what does that soreness actually mean? For example, if I train chest & triceps on Monday, and by Thursday or Friday those muscles are still sore/tight, does that just mean I had a *really* good workout on Monday? Or does it mean I'm not recovering properly afterwards?
@athleanx
4 жыл бұрын
Soreness is not really an indicator of a "good" workout or for that matter a bad one in the absence of soreness. The primary driver of soreness from your workout is from eccentric stress. You could theoretically do one set with a spotter helping you to perform slow eccentrics after reaching concentric failure and be so sore you couldn't touch that muscle for a week. Volume would be almost zero but soreness off the charts.

It has nothing to do with calorie balance and how he plans his diet. If he in fact needs TRT to look the way he does means that he wouldn’t look the same without it. Alright. Staying lean though is diet manipulation and experience to be good at it without fucking up in any way. I’m ripped all year for a few years now and it is easier the more I do it. I don’t crash down anymore because I do it smooth. I know the important stuff enough so I don’t need much overthinking or effort. I don’t do complicated diets anymore. Everything is so normal and part of your life if you do it all the time for years. It is a lot. But it sure is natural to be ripped.

I recall him even saying that on some interview. It makes sense, it is his job to show us so yeah hes earning money by staying lean. Kind of a job description at this point. And he gets rid of trolls calling him out on his workout techniques altho him being lean probably has more to do with diet than training.

This man knows what he is doing..learning a lot from him. Thank you 🙏
Have to say I really enjoy reading the video description. For me it helps tie in what I've learned from watching the video by reading it again
What is the time frame for doing this sequence? Do we do exercise 1 for a week, then move to 2, do it for a week, etc? Also, I’ve been watching the Fix Low Back Pain video that you did 2 years ago, and I’m curious about the leaning wall exercise. Do we only do that to the one side we compensate toward, or both sides?

The time frame depends on your progress speed and that depends on so many factors is just unpredictable. Just take your time and check your body. It should be challenging, but not painful if you are not in an acute pain episode. One week is probably too short for most of the steps in my opinion though. Maybe not for the first one. But that is just a guess.
Can you please do one on the upper back. Ie, traps and neck. I've had upper trap problems for 2 years. Tight neck, tight knotted traps which has given me headaches for ages. At the moment I'm doing rotator cuff exercises with hope that it takes load off of my upper traps and lets them relax. Thanks.

Completely agree. No idea where this issue stems from, but I've been fighting it lately and it's a daily struggle to try and teach my traps to relax and not be in control of every single upper back movement I do while I'm at work. Stretching helps, but I can't figure out what muscles my traps are compensating for.

@@tighconley6889 Yeah, it's crazy. I literally have no idea on what to do next. No way am I doing a specific rehab for 2 months, just to find that it wasn't the right one. (Rehab being, stretching, random holds, strengthening etc) There's like a 1000 different rehabs aswell. I tried helping to cut the grass recently, my traps were on fire! I mean, that's like a super basic task aswell. At the moment I'm thinking that the surrounding muscles aren't activated or are weak. So then the upper traps have to do everything. I'm doing lower trap focused shrugs and rotator cuff work mainly with hopes that it takes load off of my upper traps.

@@gunsnderrickroses2777 Thanks for you comment. Chin tucks actually made it worse. I had an x-ray about a year ago, it said that I have a loss of cervical lordosis. When I did the chin tucks, it gave a shooting nerve pain on my left side down to my elbow. I could try that farmers walk variation, thanks!
I have been watching you a very long time, and through thick, and through thin, your helpful, and "free" advice has encouraged me to be persistent in my rehabillitation and my strength training. Cheers Mr. Jeff Cavaliere, my salute goes out to you sir.
Thank you so much brother, I can't express how grateful I am to have to have found these videos, neither my chiropractor or physiotherapist could help me, felt hopeless for a long while, thank you for this life changing video, God bless you.

Exactly what I needed now! I have lower back pain for past 7 days!!!
Hi Jeff. When I sit in the squat position for a longish period, when I stand up my knees feel stiff as fuck and I struggle to stand. It's the same when I do a quad stretch. I've had this problem for years it feels like. Any ideas?

I did the hang as I was watching the video and the relief was so immediate I actually cried. 🥺 Thank you Jeff. Going to do the other exercises too.
Gotta thank you Jeff your other video about back pain made a world of difference for me.
If the Salty Spitoon was real, Jeff would be the guy who says “How tough are ya?”
Just when I had my back pain. Illuminati
Your videos have helped me so much with an SI problem that I had. Keep up the great work!
Amazing content; I have been coming here for a few years now and yet to walk away thinking (that was a waste of time). Jeff is simply amazing. Thank you for all the content and help.

I can attest to this: deadlifting for about 2 years fixed my lower back. But my biggest problem is upper back pain, I dont know how to fix that.

Jeff you've really helped me getting my lower back fixed first me and the doctor's thought that i have kidney stones that's why the pain is so excruciating but nothing was found after the test turns out it was just weak muscles issues so i started including back stretches before my workout and i included your reverse hyper that you've showed in your previous videos as well ,i just do only one set of 15-20 reps (as i workout at home) before my workout and now my pain has gone completely, thanks jeff
Thank you Jeff..Really helpful..Was following your previous step like lifting our legs behind by sleeping on the floor..This is even better..Always thankful for you😃

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you always explain the why and in such detail. I'm such a nerd and I have to know the why. Your vids motivate me to workout more than anything else on earth does and I know it's for that reason. So thank you endlessly and keep 'em coming
Jeff has 2 PhD. First one is on "Stop! You are losing your gain" subject and another one is on "Physiology."
Dude: *(Taking a rest in his workout)* Jeff:"but actually, thats just killing your gains,and the reason for that is becAUse you're not working out"
Everybody needs some Jeff Cav in their life. awesome video. im going to factor this routine into my off days for sure. my back is such a mess, been living with horrible back pain for almost 20 yrs. 3 herniated discs , 1 disc actually popped (disc extrusion) and I always felt like rest was the worst thing. this will help me build the stabilization i need. thanks
You’re a lifesaver man. As soon as I save up some money I’m gonna buy one of your programs.

I can vouch for this. I did extensions and deadlift while having back pain. At first with light weights and then slowly increasing. My back pain started to reduce slowly, and I was able to maintain good posture for longer periods of time. Now, due to lock down, i cant go to the gym, and I can feel my back and glutes are getting weaker. Holding a correct sitting posture is becoming more difficult now, and slowly my back pain is making a comeback. But I know how to fix it, thanks to Jeff.
Your previous video helped a lot. I had injured my back while lifting a flower pot. You saved me.
