This is giving me a calm confidence in how long this journey will take & to not fear flare ups and stay true to the process. do it right once. thanks a ton
Hey guys i don't usually comment but this was truly amazing and eye opening for me. Great educational video and I will be implementing this into my daily routine/life. Thank you
This channel is absolutely gold standard. Im former military and now an owner of an extreme sports business so my lower back has taken a beating. If you are young or old this work will prevent or limit the time off from injuries. A great investment in self.
Starting doing these about a month ago. Definitely saw a significant improvement. Started with 4 sets of one minute of holding my weight on the lower back for a minute and I could feel everything burning up, but didn't feel any pain after doing so. A few weeks ago I started doing it with motion for sets of 10 to 15 reps (I'm a tad overweight so I needed a break to catch some air in between). This week I tried with a 20 extra points of weight, I think I'm not quite there yet cause it's been hurting all week so I'll go back a level and keep building some strength without any extra weight, but the butt of the joke here is that it really makes you improve so much. Even if you take it slow, building up to enhancing the range of motion you have feels absolutely amazing I'm being able to do things that a couple months ago I'd have cried by doing so. I'm finally able to train legs without being in Constant pain (except for some particular exercises). I really recommend doing this at your own pace and not feel bad if you have to go back a level or two. As they mention, this process is not linear and you are fighting the long battle to better your lower back and give you a better quality of life on the future. Thanks for the videos and for the support you're giving out by putting such content, I'll keep on working hard to get back to where I was before getting injured.
Been doing your workouts for 1 month so far and what a difference I feel already and its only the start. Ben dealing with back pain for 8 years and time to reverse all this pain!
Brendan, just joined the community. Thanks man. This is unique content I'm not seeing anywhere else yet after 4 years of binging youtube lifting/fitness channels and buying books and programs. im not weak (deadlift 315, squat 225, can do 10 chinups, 33" box jump and play/coach tennis daily 46yo male) but my tight/weak low back and (left side) sciatica are holding back further gains/ability.
I needed this video and action plan 15 years ago. I injured my back around the same age as you two and went through the cycle of injury, fear, regression. To accepting pain was just a part of me. Best 1AM YT recommendation.
46 year old boy here. This is a great video. So much information. I've had dack issues from taking up powerlifting in my early 40's. Out of all the videos I have seen I have tyo say this is the most thorough, detailed and informative video that really covers so much. I'm, going back to basics as I'm only one bad pull from another injury I know it. I can press more than I can deadlift and squat comfortably after 3 months of starting again, coming off you've guessed it, a back injury lol Great content, keep it up.
Dude I'm 46 male also with weak back from deads (315) and low bar back squats (225) starting in my early 40s. WTF 😂 oh well, at least we both made it here!
Big time advice. The reverse hyperextension is another great tool in the toolbox. Somatic work and relaxing out of the pain response right at the boundary of its onset help as well.
Yes Yes Yes Fantastic! Every single word is perfectly true. I went through the whole process and the same journey myself and had to find out almost everything you put out there myself although I spent two weeks in hospital and four stationary on rehab. Basic in the rehab was the „segmental stabilisation“ which was very good. But I never went over that. I never really did back extension, Jefferson Curls, deadlifts again. So cool , that you showed me the way to that. Thank you so much. And elephant walk for stretching the nerves, be careful about the probable swelling, watching the day and the day after the training. Game changer. Great!!!
Wow! Perfect timing for me to be watching this video as my back extension machine arrives today!! I would not have realized I should go slowly! Thank you!
Had my back flare up again recently, been waiting a bit for my back to hurt a bit less before I get back to working on fixing it again. Thank you for all the helpful info, been following for a while now. It’s helped me in the past and I’m sure it will help me fix it again.
Great channel, great story! I am a 34 y/o family man, x semi pro athlete- worked extreme physical jobs for over a decade & done some crazy shit to my back. Inevitably thoracic & lumbar spine problems arose, never got MRI’s but I’m pretty sure there’s a herniation as symptoms point to that. It’s gotten better over time through many forms of trial & error. But seeing your wealth of information, I would love to chat about a few things, if possible. Thank you man!
Thank you Eddie! I'm helping so many people with training the back utilizing these principles. ATG saved my body and I'm happy to help others take ownership and save their own.
Fantastic video. It is remarkable how insightful these guys are about the nuances of back pain. As a chiropractor of 37 years, I highly endorse these guys' recommendations.
@ 3 months ago I left that comment I went back to the gym I had herniated disc L4 L5 S1 I did this starting by 20 sec isolated hold Up to 30 Up to 40 Now am doing 2 min with the empty bar and my lower back feel amazing I can bend now and even do other exercises am forever grateful 🙏
Great stuff guys. I work with clients with autoimmune conditions who struggle with their backs and use many of the principles you are explaining. The big take home is its a process and needs to be respected!
17:25 that's my issue. Keep injuring my left side. On normal days I can do 2-legged hypers with the decompression. But after a bunch of tennis and weight-lifting it's my left side that gives up and I'm on the sofa for 2 days recovering. Will try these 1-legged variations. You guys rock. Will def support the channel and share.
Bro. what your share is a real treasure. You’re the best, i follow your program and it’s begin to go very well. I am taking hope to become pro athlete so thanks 🙏🏼
I always had lower back problems. It only got worst as I got a desk job. There was a time I couldn't walk my dogs for more than a half block before I had to rest my back to walk more. Muay Thai actually helped a lot with throwing all the kicks. Took maybe 2-3 months of having to take frequent breaks for my back before I could make it a full class. Now I am doing half mile jogs and only stopping when my lower back starts to hurt. I've been starting to add some of this to my workout routine to help. Those nerves really freak out over the littlest things but getting better week by week. I was always just told it's tight hips and weak glutes which I don't believe.
Really nice work and logically very comprehensible stuff. I always was a bit put off by the way that experiments on dead tissue somehow should translate 1:1 to living, adaptive tissue. Just one question regarding the progression. Once you up a “level”, do you still keep doing the lower level exercises as well, or do you then only do the higher level ones. For example, I already did back extensions with a flat back for some months now just by myself before watching your channel, but never really did those isometric 2min holds before, yet I also feel like it would be good to first build this foundation before going to extensions with a rounded back or should I skip the first levels and immidiately go rounded/flexed back extensions or should I “start from the beginning” and first build the real isometric holding strengths, any thoughts?
First time commenting here. Never had any back issue until this April when I did a deadlift and something tweaked on my lower back. Ever since then, the pain goes away the third day but if I squat or deadlift even on 50% of my working set, it tweaks again and we go all over again. I’ve been seeing physio and it looks like a small disc bulge. I feel alright now but I’m scared to squat or deadlift. Feel like my surrounding muscles have gone weak. Gonna give this a try and see how things go. Thanks for the video
Thanks for all of this info. With all the talk about rounding the spine being bad for the discs - are these exercises (especially the jefferson curl) making the back more resilient so that rounding the spine does not become a risk?
I bought with the foot plate. But I wondered about the same. I could have bought one cheeper without that plate. I see it is with plate on gyms - so it is probably useful. But some without that plate can be stored more easy. But probably when one got this - mabe it will be used a lot😂 So no need to store it away😂
can someone please summarize this in a comment? I watched the whole video but for some reason I am not sure what I am supposed to do and what I am not. This video is a treasure of goldmine knowledge. Thank you for your service.
Thank you guys so much for this information. It’s really helping my wife and I. Do you know a resource to where I could get similar information for my cervical spine? I’ve had two cervical fusions and I’m doing OK, but I’d like to be doing better.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience on this. I also herniated a disc when I was 21 and had various episodes since. (Audio note: Nathan's mic is WAY lower)
This is fantastic! I am definitely going to try out this approach! One important question though - what about other major exercises that also involve lower back muscles to a significant extent? Like bench pressing, squatting, pullups etc. According to your knowledge, how should we go about including them in a training plan?
27:00 yes! Damn my left sciatic nerve feels one inch short 😂 but if I just keep trying then eventually I can touch my toes without issue. But not first thing in the morning right outta bed. So it's not a strength or stretch issue, it's a nerve issue for me. Flossing helps a little only
@CP3MoreThanYouSee sit in a chair. Look up and extend your leg((s) forward. Then slowly look down and put your feet back on the ground. Head up, feet up. Head down, feet down. Keep repeating slowly.
Fantastic video, cleared a lot of misconceptions in my head. Would it be possible to do a paid consult with you for my L2 disc issues which is totally unlike a sciatica issue? I live in India. Very keen to have a chat - I’m sure I’ll gain a lot of value from it. Thanks
I've been doing all those exercises in the last months. To be honest, not very regularly. What I noticed is that I'm very bad with my hips,hamstrings mobility. I get all shaky and even sweaty when just stretching them. Also what I noticed is that I can squat maybe like 80 kg without pain, as long as I keep my back straight, but as soon as I bend my back a lot, I get sharp pain. And the bending usually happens especially when squatting deep. I start bending because my hips start hurting, lack of mobility etc, and my back starts bending in order to to avoid the hip pain. It's a cursed circle.
Love your videos man, do you have any advice on the thoracic and neck area? Couple years ago in jiu jitsu hasnt been right since also wrestled for years. Ive done lat pull over, band pull apart, chest opening streches, external shoulder rotation, internal shoulder rotation, trap 3 raises, face pulls, butcher block stretch, direct neck streghthing, SCM streches. I feel like everything. My head posture is foward...very right around collar bones, SCM muscles, and very tight rectus capitis area. I even deep massage those areas and my face because i have tmj(clinch my jaw hard at night), maybe my tight jaw muscles have something to do with it?my body has improved everywhere beside my neck and thoracic region
Hi, I really like your channel, I would love to ask you: what about working out the other parts of the body during the recovering period? I am beyond the acute phase but still have some recurring light pain in the lower back hence I consider myself not outside the possible re-injurying zone. I'm quite cautious when it comes to bicep curls or bench press, what is your opinion about it? Thanks a lot!
I am a soon to graduate chiropractor, and the info/principals I have learned from your channel will be of great value to myself and my patients! The low back can be so complex, but the simplicity of route to function you provide is top notch. Can't wait to combine my treatments with these principals!
I got so tired of being told that I was doing something wrong just because I felt a pump in my low back during deads and RDLs despite being told that my form was correct. Then I discovered the Jefferson Curl from AtlasPowerShrugged and never looked back.
Appreciate what y'all do. If I had to ask a question, it would be about exercise selection/order, specifically as it was articulated in this video. I currently do an ATG 4-day a week routine that hits back extension, elephant walk, Nordic, and RDL. While the elephant is no problem (palms flat on the floor by the end) and I'm really pleased with my Nordic and RDL progression, back extension has been my biggest roadblock. Just when I think I've made progress, the reps start to feel uncomfortable again. I think I'm gonna humble myself and go back to square one (ie, isos), but I'm also curious about these other, more advanced exercises. For example, should I hold off on RDLs for now? I love the blueprint, but I just hate the idea of "giving up" on stuff that I can do and do well outside pain or discomfort.
Thank you for this video. I really don't know what to do anymore , I've had lumbar back pain for 4 years. I had an MRI 4 years ago and it showed only l3/l4 degenerate disc which is not uncommon for someone my age (38) I have trained for 10 years with deadlifts, squats and very healthy guy. I have seen so many physio's and nobody can help me. I have 24/7 base of spine ache, radiates to upper glutes / lower back on both sides. If I sit , I have trouble standing up and straightening my back. I've been a Nurse for 10 years so no doubt that has contributed. I just don't know what to do anymore and my mental health is pretty fkin low. I'm going to watch your video thanks.
@@ProcyonAlpha so sorry to here this my friend. Pls at least join here for the group chat aspect. The community is real and gets it… LowBackAbility.com
Thanks for posting in-depth stuff again, they give deeper understanding that brings the confidence to exercice the most eficiently. Question: Are the deadlifts a step before jefferson curls, or can I start right into jefferson curls without weights ?
@@lowbackability Because in the video you seem to say that RDL's are for when you're healed and want to add protection to avoid reinjury. And later you say that the J.curls have the most potential to harm/heal you. I would like to start J.curls to heal (when I'll be ready)
@@kieranshevlin5034 just concepts, there is no PERFECT route. However I would build RDLs before J curl. You can likely become asymptomatic from just back extension journey. J curl is even further
Do you think this way of training can overcome some of the nervous system disfunction such as issues with jaw sense, vestibular issues, vision issues that may be causing muscular problems but are actually nervous system rooted?
Curious if trigger point injections and steroid injections hurt/prolong the healing process of an L5/S1 herniated disk? Can those treatments be useful alongside the workouts you provide here?
Just got this machine. So when do i start using it? Gone a month with sciatica pain in my right buttocks. Doesn’t seem to go away. My nerves are over sensitive.
I have issues with the pigeon stretch on my right side, it seems to agitate my sciatic nerve and am currently dealing with a flare up from it. Do you have any advice you should share?

I feel like everything. My head posture is foward...very right around collar bones, SCM muscles, and very tight rectus capitis area. I even deep massage those areas and my face because i have tmj(clinch my jaw hard at night), maybe my tight jaw muscles have something to do with it?my body has improved everywhere beside my neck and thoracic region
Hi, I really like your channel, I would love to ask you: what about working out the other parts of the body during the recovering period? I am beyond the acute phase but still have some recurring light pain in the lower back hence I consider myself not outside the possible re-injurying zone. I'm quite cautious when it comes to bicep curls or bench press, what is your opinion about it? Thanks a lot!
What exercises do you suggest for si joint pain on both sides?
Thank you thank you!
Should I be doing mobility/stretching work straight after my strengthening sessions? Or should I keep mobility/stretching for separate days?
I am a soon to graduate chiropractor, and the info/principals I have learned from your channel will be of great value to myself and my patients! The low back can be so complex, but the simplicity of route to function you provide is top notch. Can't wait to combine my treatments with these principals!
@@ryangengler9585 💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
How often did you train low back when you were trying to strengthen it? Everyday? Also how many sets per week?
Guys, I love your stuff, but can you make it mored condensed? :)
I got so tired of being told that I was doing something wrong just because I felt a pump in my low back during deads and RDLs despite being told that my form was correct. Then I discovered the Jefferson Curl from AtlasPowerShrugged and never looked back.
Whats your opinion on back extension machines that use weights?
Appreciate what y'all do. If I had to ask a question, it would be about exercise selection/order, specifically as it was articulated in this video. I currently do an ATG 4-day a week routine that hits back extension, elephant walk, Nordic, and RDL. While the elephant is no problem (palms flat on the floor by the end) and I'm really pleased with my Nordic and RDL progression, back extension has been my biggest roadblock. Just when I think I've made progress, the reps start to feel uncomfortable again. I think I'm gonna humble myself and go back to square one (ie, isos), but I'm also curious about these other, more advanced exercises. For example, should I hold off on RDLs for now? I love the blueprint, but I just hate the idea of "giving up" on stuff that I can do and do well outside pain or discomfort.
Thank you for this video. I really don't know what to do anymore , I've had lumbar back pain for 4 years.
I had an MRI 4 years ago and it showed only l3/l4 degenerate disc which is not uncommon for someone my age (38)
I have trained for 10 years with deadlifts, squats and very healthy guy.
I have seen so many physio's and nobody can help me. I have 24/7 base of spine ache, radiates to upper glutes / lower back on both sides. If I sit , I have trouble standing up and straightening my back.
I've been a Nurse for 10 years so no doubt that has contributed.
I just don't know what to do anymore and my mental health is pretty fkin low.
I'm going to watch your video thanks.

@@lowbackability Thank you mate will join up 👍🏻
Tnx
What do you think about swimming on the days between hard back training
Could be good! I would try
Nah, when your core sucks you will get more pain bc your spine will wobble around!
God bless you and your bloodline for eternity ❤

Thanks for posting in-depth stuff again, they give deeper understanding that brings the confidence to exercice the most eficiently.
Question: Are the deadlifts a step before jefferson curls, or can I start right into jefferson curls without weights ?
I would say RDLs are before j curls!
@@lowbackability Because in the video you seem to say that RDL's are for when you're healed and want to add protection to avoid reinjury.
And later you say that the J.curls have the most potential to harm/heal you.
I would like to start J.curls to heal (when I'll be ready)
@@kieranshevlin5034 just concepts, there is no PERFECT route. However I would build RDLs before J curl.
You can likely become asymptomatic from just back extension journey. J curl is even further
Do you think this way of training can overcome some of the nervous system disfunction such as issues with jaw sense, vestibular issues, vision issues that may be causing muscular problems but are actually nervous system rooted?
Call I have a severe L3 L4 L5 central nerve stenosis. Is there a hope for me they say I need surgery.?
Thank you for your content guys! Amazing stuff.
Any recommendations for more specifically mid-back targeted pain? Are these exercises still recommended?
Curious if trigger point injections and steroid injections hurt/prolong the healing process of an L5/S1 herniated disk? Can those treatments be useful alongside the workouts you provide here?
Just got this machine. So when do i start using it? Gone a month with sciatica pain in my right buttocks. Doesn’t seem to go away. My nerves are over sensitive.
Ty eddy
@@avenger7800 THANK YOU EDDIE!!!
I have issues with the pigeon stretch on my right side, it seems to agitate my sciatic nerve and am currently dealing with a flare up from it. Do you have any advice you should share?
If I were to buy a back extension machine, are there any products you would recommend?
19:56 What’s a good hyperextension machine, any recommendations?
Hey you guys never showed the healing time frame in the video 47:35
Can you talk about your reinjury going heavy?
