In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most common issues lifters face—back pain after squats and deadlifts. Discover the critical reasons why squats can lead to back discomfort, often due to excessive back muscle use, spinal compression, and irritation. Deadlifts, especially from the floor, present a unique challenge in maintaining a neutral spine, particularly in the bottom position.
We explore essential techniques for proper bracing, compression, and core activation to prevent injury and build strength safely. You’ll learn about lower cross syndrome, a common cause of core weakness, and exercises like the baby three-month supine from DNS, which can improve bracing and diaphragm activation.
Actionable insights include:
- How to assess your body positioning and bracing techniques
- Exercises to address lower cross syndrome, focusing on hip mobility and glute activation
- Bracing drills to activate your core, creating stability through your entire lift
Whether you’re new to lifting or looking to fine-tune your technique, this episode offers valuable tips to help you build a pain-free foundation for squats and deadlifts. Tune in to transform your approach and lift smarter, not harder!
