At least it should be able to heal and not cause as many longer term flare ups! Glad to hear you are going with powerlifting - I'm sure I'll meet you on the platform sometime soon  I'd be ultra careful with the back for the first 4 weeks, but as you say you can still bench, chest supports rows, pull downs, chins, and some leg isolation work. Smolov Jr for bench has a huge reputation in our club for being awesome, I've not run it myself, but everyone seems to get about 5-10kgs out of it! Cheers mate, just hope I don't lose to much on my squat and deads, they were really flying along  never mind at least there will be an end in sight as opposed to if it was sciatica.You think Smolov Jr is a good way to go, you know any other high volume bench routines???? | ||

Going to be odd not squatting or deadlifting for a while but needs must, in the mean time I can focus on increasing my bench  Cheers mate, i'll check those links out | ||

Went to docs this morning Neil, turns out its not sciatica but I have torn the muscle around hip/lower back back in October and it keeps slightly re-tearing so need to quit squatting and deadlifting for the time being to let it heal, going to be a slow journey back but its better than never ending sciatica. | ||

I want to get an injury looked at, but not sure going to my GP is any use. It was indeed, my Mrs booked it for me and I too thought it would be a waste of time but he genuinely seemed to listen and diagnose me properly. Also didn't just say stop training - he said stop doing what hurts, work around it and use common sense. I may have just got lucky but he genuinely helped me. | ||

 he who does the volume wins Member 2498, 3652 posts SQ 160, BP 125, DL 225510.0 kgs @ 109kgs UnEq | Not been in for a bit. Nice pressing mate Guess thats good news in a weird way that you know you have an injury which more than likely will heal as opposed to go and comeback. So in a couple of months you can answer the worlds most important question, "whaddya bench?"...............170kg | ||

 my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Bloody hell mate that makes your recent lifts even more awesome. It's good you've got proper diagnosis and thus should be able to get it fixed swiftly. It will be interesting to see how you adapted over the next few months. | ||
