There is nothing more satisfying than a strong back. While bulging biceps, pecs, and quads might seem sexy, they aren’t nearly as effective at increasing strength and stability as robust rhomboids, lats, and traps. However, not only is it easy to inefficiently train the back, but it is incredibly easy to injure those muscles (and the tissues around them) and end up with back pain due to improper technique and inaccurate exercises.
If you want a rope-covered back but you don’t want chronic back pain, here are a few common mistakes you should avoid – and if you are already laid low from a back injury, here’s how you can recover and prevent them in the future.

Are you experiencing unpleasant pain in the knee while training your legs? In this article, we are going to tell you how to protect your knees from any unpleasant injuries as they are very common.
Your legs are one of the most important parts of your body. As athletes and/or gym rats, we must train our legs regularly, even though it can be quite unpleasant at times.

Personally, I love deadlift day, I don’t care much for squat day, and I abhor lunge day for the reasons mentioned above.
Today we will share some tips and tricks of the workout trade, used by coaches and athletes that you can use to protect your knees from inflammation and injury.

Our lives are full of compromises and trade-offs. Modern humans can walk upright, and many researchers have linked this ability with increased brain size. As well, this posture allows our hands to be free for carrying objects and manipulating tools, increases our height, and is less energy-intensive. Unfortunately, walking upright puts increased pressure on the spine, and this can lead to back pain. Add to that our propensity to exercise hard and neglect workout recovery, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Here’s are some tips for dealing with your back pain.

This is a guest post from Shaun Sinclair, founder, and author of Stay Fit Bug. Shaun is a former 100/200-meter runner and professional athlete.
Look after your BACK!
Because once that goes you are FINISHED!
It really is that simple.
The spine and the muscles surrounding it are the backbones to our physical existence ‘Pun intended’.
However, it is a part of our body that is prone to injury. Now, prevention isn’t a difficult thing to do. But one thing I am certain of is that trying to cure the issue of back pain is an entirely different matter (Yes… not always easy).
- Good form
- Good exercise execution
- Embracing good posture
All of those things are highly important when it comes to protecting your back. Heck, embracing good posture isn’t even something you need to worry about in the gym only. In fact, that has a lot more to do with your activities outside of the weight room.
- How you sit at your desk in the office.
- In your bed and how you sleep (sleeping on the floor is still one of the best things you can do).
- How you position your body when using a computer at home, which of course, is where most of us spend most of our time in today’s world on Facebook and the like.
These lifestyle habits are highly important in regard to back injury prevention. Now let’s see how you can change your lifestyle to proactively protect yourself from back injuries.

Accidents happen. Sometimes, we simply cannot prevent them. A year ago, I had the misfortune of it happening to me. A major accident left me bed-ridden for well over a month. The recovery was a slow and tedious process. I still experience occasional pain. It really took me a while to regain full control of my body and participate in all the activities I so enjoyed before. While it was not easy, I can say that I am one of the lucky ones who got out of it without any major consequences.
Learn all about physical therapy after an injury
Depending on your situation, recovery may last anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Your body needs time to heal and rebuild its strength. Physical therapy is an extremely important part of the story. Understanding how it works is crucial. Your goal is to learn as much as you possibly can about it and also be fully familiar with the nature of your condition or injury. Each person’s situation will be unique and so will their needs. My back was my problem area. Numbness, pain and poor control of my legs plagued me for months. It was only after I understood how to approach physical therapy that I started seeing tangible results. Take it slow, know what you can and cannot do, and never push yourself too hard.
Don’t forget to take your medication
While regular exercise may be the essential bit of the story, there is no denying that medication also plays its part in the process of regaining your health. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of it. If you tend to forget such things, make sure to set up a reminder for yourself and carefully follow your doctor’s orders. Pop a pill on time and things will become so much easier. Of course, never use too many painkillers and instead look to alleviate your discomfort through natural means. Stick to the advice you’ve been given and don’t forget to eat healthily. Your body needs all the energy it can get.
Commit to an exercise routine & manage your pain
Physical exercise may sound like a terrible idea when you’re in pain but it is, in fact, the only thing that will help get rid of it in the long run. Stick to your routine, try to push your boundaries but never take it too far. I always make an effort to listen to my body. It tends to give you very clear signals about what you can and cannot do. Treat it well and don’t hurt yourself. Learn which types of exercise you can benefit from the most. Don’t be afraid to consult online resources. In fact, I think it was these few apps that have helped me the most on my road to recovery.
Apps to Help With Physical Therapy
Sticking to your goals is honestly the only way to succeed. Perseverance will be rewarded, you just have to have faith and put in the work.
Conclusion
Accidents are sometimes unavoidable. More serious injuries can take a long time to recover from. If you are eager to get back on your feet, you should make an effort to learn more about physical therapy and stick to the prescribed exercise routine. Listen to your body and know which part of it needs the most help. Managing pain, in particular, can have a steep learning curve. Don’t give up. Never neglect your medication and eat well. Your body will thank you for it and you will be able to get back to your normal daily routine soon enough.

Regular exercise or training, whether for recreation or professional gain, may cause unexpected injuries. This is brought about by activities such as jumping, running, lifting weights, tackling and many more. These activities subject our bodies to wear and tear forces which makes us susceptible to muscle, bone, spine, and joint injuries.
A Chiropractor works to restore the normal functioning of your muscles, joints, and nervous system. They can also help to increase muscle strength, control, and coordination which will help you prevent further injuries during training.

If you have been injured lately and you feel like you are ready to return to the gym, you may be concerned about aggravating the injury, and rightly so. You should follow your doctor’s instructions, and you should return to active training only if they have given you the green light.
Even when your doctor says it is safe to return to training, you should still be cautious and careful not to re-injure yourself. More likely than not, your gym has different classes for different purposes. You can use less demanding forms of exercise until you are ready to resume full training. (more…)

Too many times people throw themselves into an exercise routine with the expectation that if they heave as much weight as possible, enough times, they’re going to see the results they want.

Whether you’re just starting out or finessing your current exercise routine, it’s essential that you always take the time to ensure you’re practicing proper form.

In most cases, surgery is the only solution for a hernia, therefore you need to be a bit cautious.

Every athlete worth their salt has hit a plateau. You all know the feeling — suddenly gym sessions feel less productive, gains slow to a crawl, and you start to feel stuck.
Often, the natural response is to train harder and longer, assuming that plateaus can just be powered through, but pushing your body harder when it might actually need to slow down is asking for injury. Injuries aren’t fun for anyone, but if you’re preparing for a competition, race, or big game, it can be a death knell for your training.
Why Am I Hitting a Plateau?
While some plateaus are part of the natural training cycle, others are due to improper training. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in your own drive and push too hard for too long. The result is a burned-out athlete whose body is breaking down instead of building up.
Avoiding bad training habits seems like it should be common sense, but it’s easier said than done. Everyone wants to be the best, and you get there by training, right? So what’s the difference between pushing and pushing too hard? And how do you toe the line without long-jumping over it?
Unfortunately, there’s no perfect formula for everyone, but with an updated training strategy, it’s a little easier to navigate the minefield of training fatigue. As with most athletic advice, this comes with a strong dose of “listen to your body.”
Plateaus and training fatigue generally stem from overdoing it every time you’re in the gym or under-recovering after you go home. (more…)
