couldn't squat at all due to my back being terrible. after 11 months, im finally getting into a chiro on friday. it wasnt bad at all for quite a while until yesterday. only used to be a little tight and weak. pending on what the chiro says, i'm fixing to do a bench contest and/or a strongman contest this summer


so i did squat assistance and grip work. my fingers are pumped! lol..its actually pretty fun. i figure that if i cant do squats on this particular day, i might as well do something else that will help in a contest later

i can almost do glute/hams on the floor without catching myself on the bottom of the rep

reverse hypers helping your back? is your lower back flexing when doing them - ie going over the edge and bending?

if you can almost do glute hams without catching yourself on the descent, I think you would kick ass on the box squat or sumo style deadlift. have you tried the dip assist machine at your new gym yet?

Nice job Jeremy!

I wish you luck in anything you decide to do. Be it strongman or anything else. Keep the flow going brother.

Re: Chiropractor,

Definitely use them. Use them as a tool to learn new ways to become flexible. Learn as much as you can. It's not just "cracking". lol It's a tremendous help to athletes everywhere, oh and regular people too!

people's champ, i think you're confusing me with drunken weasel

CCJ, i believe they're helping. they aren't affecting me negatively, at least i dont think so. and yes, i do them on a board so my lower back is always hanging off

thanks polish

i hope that the chiro can at least tell me whats wrong; tendon, muscle, nerve/disk, etc. im getting an x-ray

Your welcome brother!!!

Chiro's are like an athletes best and worst friend. As long as you understand that you are both learning and so does he/she you will have a great experience. Be honest and and be weary. Sometimes other people do not know your limits the way you do. Let him/her know. Set the rules for you.

Polish is right, im in chiropractic school now....we are taught to work with the patient and understand his goals and where hes coming from. so dont be afraid to tell the doc. Thats what sets us apart from MD's, we listen!!

just got back from the chiro. he's a really nice guy. has a specialist certification from NSCA, definitely knows a bit about lifting, sports, etc. no news yet. did an adjustment today and will tell me on monday.

today, before school, i did some pin pulls, reverse hypers, bench, and farmers walks. i did 225 on bench for an easy 8 reps, at 7 in the morning, with no food and the shits. i'm pretty sure i can get 10 reps on a good day. will definitely do the bench contest in june.
