Post Edited: 23.08.2014 @ 07:08 AM by just_t Had a few issues over the years. Suspected piriformis syndrome, prolapsed disc and then a hip issue (forgot the name) a few months back. All came down to progressive degeneration caused by frequency of training, bad form and just general bad luck. All went with time. Main improvement for me comes from 2 things:Drop low bar squat and replace for high bar or front squat. My numbers dwindled but I'm not a powerlifter so it doesn't matter. Drop deadlift for an extended while and do not train it frequently or regularly once back in a training program. I now deadlift once a month but squat 4 times per week. My numbers do not fall. When I do deadlift I always leave something in the tank, just a rep or couple of kg. Train powercleans , hang cleans, weighted hypers etc instead. Again, I'm now a powerlifter so numbers don't matter, gain more athletic performance from full squats, and explosive lifts then a heavy grinder deadlift anyway. Careful with lean on overhead press. Try lighter but paused reps. Forget the belt. Waste of time. That's what helped, helps me. | |||

Or maybe refer you straight for a scan that is not indicated and the government has not provided the finds for? If you have a back injury, unless you have any emergency symptoms like inability or incontinence of bladder/bowels, fever or paralysis, see the physio not gp. The physio is trained ONLY to deal with musculoskeletal problems whereas the doctor is trained to save peoples lives Perhaps I would have liked some advice. Didn't know my GPs role was only to combat life threatening conditions.... | |||

| Damn,I hurt my back about 6 months back and it's just about right now. Docs did f**k all as usual. Had to completely change how I squat and deadlift to rehab it. Read Supple Leapoard. | |||

| Hey mate. All I would say with 531, ESP if your doing cardio for rugby, is do not go all out on your deadlift/squat sets despite what it says, save some in the tank. Sure fire way to get an injury. | |||
