mushroommunkComplain about my back. I thought if I kept healthy, ate well, and did some basic workouts I’d be fine. Boy did mother nature teach me
kescusayTall guy, here. There are specific exercises you can do to strengthen and stabilize your back, and that might help. I’ve actually got fewer back troubles than I did when I was young and stupid, because I’m taking care of it.
wizardbeardWould love to be pointed in the right direction. I’ve had lower back issues since my early 20s.
It may seem odd, but doing crunches helps. A lot. Getting those abs in shape helps to pull the back together too!
Pretty sure they have debunked both of those. Crunches put a lot of strain on your lower back, and it’s also not great to use ab muscles to suck it in all the time. You’re compressing your gut instead of developing the correct back muscles that should be holding you up.
