 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22062 posts | AdamC said: You'd be better off taking up chess instead of lifting weights probably  Yeah. Sitting for hours hunched over a chess board is the way forward!  | ||

Member 832, 522 posts SQ 50, BP 0, DL 050.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | Almost everyone has limitations in their hip/shoulder girdle mobility/function and their core/trunk strength. Nobody addresses these issues when they begin training, few do after that and many of those only do after they have sustained an injury. The answer of 'put a belt on' is f**king idiotic. Ignoring these major problems results in seriously compounding them with years of incorrect form and this can lead to you getting seriously f**ked in the long run. It is nowhere near as simple as 'strengthen your core' either. Without seeing somebody move its impossible to say. It could be an imbalance, a weakness somewhere, training structure/volume, technique on a given exercise etc etc. On topic - sled drags and unilateral work are both excellent suggestions in my opinion. Depending on the nature of the injury a belt squat could be an alternative too. | ||

I know, that wasn't aimed at anybody I was jus' saying. In my personal experience the response to most injuries in the strength community is a mixture of man up and then add more supportive stuff. | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Loads of good feedback! gonna take a week off, then do pressing only for a week, then start doing front squats and see where I go from there. Think it'll heal up fairly quick - it doesn't feel as bad as I thought it was. | ||
