His lower back is fucked up and tight, when you do weighted situps the lower back contracts isometrically to stabilize the spine so he is only putting himself under unnecessary stress.
no, its my right spinal erector in the spot about 2 inches below the bottom of my traps.
AA: well I was maxing on deads, and I had 325 and got it up to my knees but couldnt get it any further, so I started hitching and got it a little higher but could get the top quarter or the rep. That was what did it, and originally it wasnt that bad, and during the workout it didnt hurt and I did some dumbell rows with the 88s and the twisting made it worse. At the time I thought it was just muscle fatigue pain so I did nothing about it and made it worse with squats, deloaded deadlifts and bent over rows. Last time I heavy squatted was 11th november...
btw I just closed my 150lb gripper 6 times on my right hand, I did it at 3.30pm, and 4.30pm yesterday I got it out of the packaging and couldnt only close it far enough for the handles to be about 1inch away from touching

Ok cool makes sense.
EM: Nice work on that gripper dude!!! From what I've heard, grip strength is one of the fastest growing types of strength. Can't wait till my grippers come in
On your back injury, how bad does it hurt after you do light sets of deadlifts? My back has hurt before after squats but I usually just do a set of hypers and good mornings and that makes if feel a lot better. Also wearing a belt takes away any pain I get doing heavy squats.

sounds like definitely a low back strain. Hopefully you didn't compress a disc. No squats and deads for you. Not worth it. Get on the leg press and don't forget your core since you won't be squatting/deadlift. Chill out on the weighted abs though as Saibot has said. Lots you can do to stretch out your back and work your abs...Did you go to the doctor?

yeah i read the hands respond very well to low rep training too.
yes it does ache after the light deadlifts but iv never got it before, and it aches if im sittin in a chair with no back support for a long time...
i have been leg pressing for the past 3 months! not hitting abs consistently but every so often.
no I havnt gone to a doctor but now that it is over 3 months since I injured it Im thinking maybe I should...
what happens if I have compressed a disk? will it ever get fully better?

it should get better, but since it is non-muscular it would take a lot longer. Doctors can get you prescription anti-inflammatories to help calm it down and expedite the healing. Voltaren and Indocin come to mind.
