A year ago I couldn’t walk without pain. Today I’m back squatting at RPE 9 while listening to Backstreet Boys. Never kill yourself

That’s incredible 👏 I too started squatting this year. I have outrageously weak legs and working up to my goal of 4x6 225, time span of 1 year What was causing the pain do you don’t mind me asking

Waited Didn’t stop moving — walked and took on as much activity as I could within reasonable limits despite pain. Get the blood going in the area, don’t stay still Worked my midline and hips a lot. Lots of hip openers, planks, deadbugs, shoulder taps with feet on the bench, sitting overhead holds. McGill Big 3

I’ll try the bits of that I can still do without spasms. Gonna have to google deadbugs. My whiskey/weed regimen is increasingly less effective.

DYOR, not a doctor! Doing dead bugs even gave me acute relief in the chronic pain moments. Something about how engaging your abdominals that way protects your spine He’s not without controversy. He firmly believes deadlifts aren’t worth the risk and that pisses people off, for example https://peterattiamd.com/stuartmcgill/
