@@teodorstefanov984 new here? Jessie. The 155 lbs muscle man who is a retired gummy bear eating champion of North America. Renowned guzzler of gummies, his royal shortness, Jessie!
Thank you so much! I’ve suffered from lower back pain for about 25 years. It goes out from lifting something or driving. When it goes out I can’t walk and am bed ridden for a week or two. This has absolutely helped me. I have been pain free for over two years doing this every morning, over my kitchen counter. One set of 20. This is the only thing that has helped completely! I never wrote a comment before. I just had to thank you. 🙏
@@ducoh2093 It's been 1 month and a half that my lower backpain is mostly gone (sometimes comes back up if I sleep very badly but no more strain/pain in an average day). It had been slowly and slowly rising up for months (if not years tbh) untill It was too much. I can share what I do as daily exercices if you're intersteted (it's not the exercices showed in this video tho) :)
@@ducoh2093 and the 2'd video is a short 5 minutes routine I do every single day and it works wonders : ruclips.net/video/bcbuhePZZj0/видео.html&ab_channel=JeremyEthier If any of those exercices don't "strech" you, don't feel olbigated to do them. Do those who you feel are necessary :) For me the ones which relieve my backpain the most I feel like are the cat-camel one and the standup - arm in the air one (from the first video). But doing daily exercices helped a lot overall I think! Good luck :)
@@umanggupta9660 I think if you have that, you should check with the doctor. I have muscle pain. The muscles to weak to hold my IT back the whole day. That pain is allways persinstent. I think jeff means that.
Listen up! I had a bike accident when I was 18, broke my tibia, fibula and femur in both legs, pelvis, all my ribs, both feet crushed, six months on my back in hospital..blah, blah......I worked very hard indeed on my recovery but by the time I was thirty ish I had a pain in my back that would keep me awake at night for the next 30 years. The pain always seemed to intensify when I was lying down trying to sleep. So, I’ve been doing these exercises twice a day for two weeks and I swear I am almost pain free.......I can’t believe it, I had given up and resigned myself to a lifetime of back pain. Can’t thank you enough.
Jeff, thank you for removing all my pain . i have scoliosis all my life i've been in pain. when sitting, walking, sleeping whatever. chiropractors, physical therapy, orthopedic doctors since, I was 17 , now i'm the young age of 79 , and out of pain for the first. From my neck to my toes you have stabilized my spine,and i don't have to were arch supports any longer. thankyou. I have sent you videos to everyone ,i even stop people in stores and tell them about you.
I'm happy to hear your better Ann. It gives me hope that I can get back to normal. Past two weeks have been the worse in my life. I'm going to try this workout and pray for the best.
75 years old and I do what Jeff says. Changed my life as a professor (brain health) and dancer (athletic health). Muscles, balance, energy, mental acuity all improved because of Jeff...His combination of training, education, and science has led to the best, safest and healthiest results. I am almost ready for the next 25 years.
I did so much deadlift, my lower back started hurting due to my muscles pulling my whole upper body back. I started doing abs exersises again, to balance it out and i got it fixed. Thanks Jeff.
KILLER DESTROYER entirely incorrect. The deadlift is a compound movement and strengthens the whole of the posterior chain. If you don’t do deadlifts now I would fully recommend starting. Make sure your form is correct though.
I think that's what im going through now. When I sneezed, my back freezes up and gives out some times. It's almost impossible to do hip thrusts or crunches. How did you fix it?
Jeff, thank you so much. I feel like you’ve saved my life. i’m 14 years old, i lift for about 1.5 year now and my back pain was horrible for about 4 months. I’m doing this exercise for 3 weeks now and i feel lot better, i can finally run, jump and get up from bed without any pain in my back. Your videos also helped me with knee pain, shoulder pain and technique. Thank you Jeff❤
I had lowerback pain for 2 years i quited gym and almost my job because of this issue. Started this exercise 4 months ago thank you jeff for chaning my life i can live normal again.
Good for you man.hey I'm 23 now..I had to stop going to the gym 1.5 years ago coz of lower back pain..and now I took new year resolution to workout..and I'm scared of getting that back pain again..it comes sometimes..and I try to sleep..sit in a certain position to get rid of it..I can't tell how low I feel sometimes bcz of this..maybe this will help..let's see..I'll let you guys know
My lower back pain immediately decreased substantially after one set. I will be doing this every day at least twice a day now. Thank you, you badass sir. Update: 5 days in and I no longer have back pain. I had back pain from lying down to sleep and it is gone. I do around 4 sets of 10 a day. Update: 6 months no back pain when doing anything. I do a set of 12 every morning and a set of 12 after I lift. You'll notice I do a lot less than when I first started. It is just maintenance at this point.
Thank you. I have had low back pain for a couple years now. Nothing has helped. I will try this. My lower left back hurts and it controls my day! Physical therapy dodnt do anything for me.
Can concur: one set and the pain that kept me up all night last night has eased substantially. Love the update/edit too; makes me even more optimistic!
Okay, here it goes. Hopefully it helps some of you guys.... Twelve years back i broke my back. Tried a lot of stuff, but could never really manage to recover from it fully. Erly last year, i got hospitalized again due to a spasm. Couldn't move for a week. Finally with some physio i got back on my feet. I was asked to do back strengthening exercises along with glutes and core muscles. This was one of the exercises recommended by the physio. I was doing it at home initially cuz i couldn't hit the gym for a while. It made HELL a lot of difference. For someone like me, who carried this pain for a long time, I even forgot that I had broken my back 10 years ago. A big shout out to AthleanX for recommending this exercise. It is part of my normal warm up routine every day at the gym and i suggest no one miss it ever. It just takes 2 mins for 2 sets. Makes a world of difference!!!
Single greatest exercise I've found when it comes to chronic low back pain / tightness. Have had low back pain for about 3 years which was really beginning to bug me when at my desk or driving. Experienced 2 bad spasms which had me out of commission for a couple of weeks each time. I've tried physios, massages, lots of different routines from youtube but this one exercise has had the greatest impact on my wellbeing of everything I've tried. I no longer dread long drives, or wake up with a back and hips feeling awful. The day after I tried a few sets of reverse hypers I immediately noticed a reduction in my back discomfort and a big improvement in my ability to sit still in a car for 1 hour plus. Even the feeling of tightness which I had put down to shortened muscles is improving too. The whole problem was a weak low back and this is the cure. Thank you Jeff. You may well have saved my life.
@@jaydodd5290 it just isn't enough for a guy who gives an in-depth analysis of the human body every single time...Jeff spits science in mere seconds...that's something you don't find
I had been suffering from lower back pain for a long time, and the doctor told me that there was weakness in the lower back muscles Thank God I have done these exercises successfully and I can say that my lower back pain has disappeared Sometimes I wanted to give up because I did not see any improvement, but I continued doing these exercises for about two months, and now, thank God, the lower back pain has disappeared. The lower back muscles have become strong. I advise anyone to be patient, do these exercises, and pray to God. God willing, back pain will disappear Thanks athlean
My guy Jeff is the only person I trust on RUclips with health related videos. You can tell he actually knows what he's talking about and not just spouting nonsense. Keep up the good work fam!
Check out Jeff nipard or Jeremy ethier they both post consistent science based fitness videos and use papers and studies to back it up those two channels and athlean x are the only channels I trust on RUclips. Best wishes to you and your goals brother
@@Diegomolinams98 I clearly heard him say otherwise, stretch after workout but preferably before going to bed. Just found it back in this video at this timing : ruclips.net/video/wLAerhu77ws/видео.html But also on other videos.
After the day work , workout ect.. u tense up in your sleep the most , best to stretch in the morning, first thing I do , been 4 years of this , now after 30 min routine I hang from a bar for 5 mins , then hit my invert table for 5 mins, pains still there but under control, I've increased my range of motion so much I get great adjustments without the invert table now, but still love my table
Louie Simmons developed that movement in the 80s after he broke his back doing good mornings. He said it turned into one of the most important movements he used in his gym.
Great call and props to Louie Simmons who INVENTED the reverse hypertension machine at the Westside Barbell Club in Columbus, Ohio. I actually gave one in my gym and use it everyday.
I've been using Jeff's routines for a few months now... WOW! He KNOWS HIS STUFF! By treating the causes rather than dealing with symptoms is the difference. Whether it's getting bigger biceps or wider deltoids or stopping low back pain, Jeff's advice is priceless!!!
what do you mean your back was tight? if your back was tight you need to work your lower abs by curling your pelvic up and squeezing with your glutes as hard as possible. this video is for people with weak lower back, not tight lower back. tight lower back means it's overworked and u need to flex your spine some more. this video is for people with tight lower abs causing them to go posterior tilt when squatting. this video helps them to extend and curve their lumbar spine. if your lower back is tight you need to stretch it by flexing your pelvic and lower spine in front of you and up.
@@Zetsuke4 thanks for the advice! I'll definitely start working on my abs and start squeezing my cheeks when i come up! Like i told @joegt123, i dont think i squeeze very much during squats! I'll work on this!
This video changed my life and I'm forever grateful to you! I had extreme pain every single morning for 2 years that made it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning. After an hour, it would fade and by the afternoon it was gone. It made it so I didn't want to sleep anymore because I knew I'd wake up in pain. Doing these exercises 3x per day (over a large exercise ball and holding onto the bottom of my couch) and my pain is gone completely! I saw results after literally 1 day. I can't thank you enough!!!
4 years ago i had a doctor tell me i should never lift heavy weights or have a physical job ever again due to my back pain, same day i watched this video, 1 week later no more back pain AT ALL. Now i’m lifting more weight than ever with absolutely zero lower back pain, thanks Jeff:)
Great exercise! 45 yrs old, suffered lower back pain for years, this movement, daily, has made a huge difference, very minor discomfort on occasion, but feel much better otherwise, thanks so much!
Yeh same. A few years back I saw a video by Jeff describing different factors that can cause problems and realized I had issues with ankle mobility. I can point my toes easily but can't bend my toes toward my shins well. At least couldn't, bit mire flexible now. Started working on that, doing time under tension training (TUTT) and glute bridges to strengthen my glutes. The TUTT helped with mind muscle connection and control deep in the squat where my form was breaking down. Now the only pain I usually get is the normal sort you get after a good workout.
Just tried this... and the tightness I was experiencing in the right side of my lower back immediately dissipated. This really helped; thank you for these videos, Jeff.
@@yassenhesham892 if you have low back pain when you sit, it's because either your back muscles can't hold your weight too long or there's an inflammation going on. If you're 100% sure your back muscles are fit for the job, you might want to have your spinal cord checked. Good luck
As the end of the year is comming, and christmas is on it's way, I want to say thank you to Jeff and his crew. This Video is a good example how they care about us non Fitnessguys. Started this year in May and it littarelly changed my life for the better. I will never be as sporty as Jeff but he motivated me to train 5 times a week and I fell so much better. I needed 6 month to nearly compleete A1X but it is great feeeling, Do I have issues? Hell yes, my nutrition is still improovable, but still I feel so much better and it took me 44 years to realise. So once again, thank you, have some beautifull days with your beloved ones, looking forward to the challanges of next year!
On a similar path to you, I'm 36 but it's been a hell of a journey! Just going through AX1 for the 3rd time (because I enjoyed it and am saving for AX2!). Enjoying the progress 👌👍🏻

I never thought I would be able to lift again. I’ve been to so many physio’s and chiropractors over the last few years as I’ve had serious back issues with disc problems., couldn’t lift without lower back pain. Started doing these 7 months ago, 30 in the morning, 30 in the evening. Within a month I noticed the difference, after a few months I was lifting again with no lower back pain. I still have to be careful as the damage is done, but I never thought I would be back to this position, this has Improved my life so much I can’t thank you enough. To anyone reading this with back issues, do it religiously everyday and you won’t be disappointed!
This is very motivating to read. I've been doing them and still feel tightness but I think the pain is dissipating and haven't had truly awful days since. I'm 3 weeks in so more time is probably necessary.
@@gibby35412 I thought I would come back and leave a comment as this has helped me so much, I will probably do these everyday for the rest of my life. I also wear a back support for most things which also helps. Keep going with it I’m sure it will help in the long term
I've been doing this simple move for about two months and I have to say it's probably the best thing I've ever added to my workout. I recommend to all my clients to do it along with the "bridge reach-overs" and I've seen every single one of their back pain or bad posture disappear. Amazingly simple. Amazingly helpful.
Thank you ...and Jessie for creating actual content that has helped me attain the level of health that I needed in order to be a better husband/ father/fireman! I’m currently in the best shape of my life ( in part )thanks to the two of you! I’m currently 42yrs old at the time of this posting & currently I’m the leanest I’ve ever been in my life!!! Because of your channel and ur scientific approach to health... my family and I all work out and have intense joy every day! The gym is where we go to become “Superheroes “! As my kids say! You guys have changed the game when it comes to RUclips fitness. In my 42yrs I’ve lost so much time in the gym along with numerous injuries listening to Bro Science!!! I’m blessed to only NOW feel in shape because now I only listen to you guys .... no filler, no Bro Science..... just great info,great vignettes from a couple of Scientific Bros! Thanks gentlemen. Btw.. how would I or any interested party contact you? I’d like to show you my before and after pics so u can see the impact you’ve had on my life! Thank you! Keep up the good work! You’re saving lives... or in my case generations!!! Btw at my heaviest I weighed 323 lbs at 5’6” and now I weigh in at 145lbs!!! While being the strongest I’ve ever been ! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this exercise. I had very bad lower back pain for 2-3 days. Just did it once Allhamdulillah feel much better now. Thank you so much!
I’ve been lifting since I was 18 and am now 43. I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease when I was 35 (best shape of my life). I believe everything Jeff just said, but also coupled with good stretching, such as yoga has helped a lot. I don’t think think I’ll ever stop lifting....my pallbearers will be the last to help me move
@@user-hb1ve6mc6f I honestly don’t delve into it as much as I should, but Jen Hillman from that hippie channel psyche truth has helped a lot. It’s helped so much that I don’t have to watch it. I can just do it without instruction. I hope it helps. Just google her and back pain
Me @ 6pm in my car: "Man my back are killing me today..." 20min later Notification: Athlean X "No More Back Pain..." Also AthleanX: "Better luck next time..."
Exactly. Trying to do even beginner or easy ab and core exercises, get a few reps in and the back pain kicks in. Just doesn't make you feel like continuing.
I’ve been having problems doing basic ab exercises like crunches due to lower back pain. I just did this for the first time ever and felt instant relief! I can’t wait to do this everyday. Thank you so much!
STAY AWAY from flexion (such as crunches) and work more with low back EXTENSION. Prop up on your elbows while laying flat for 2-3 mins, then lay flat for a minute. Go back and forth 5-6 times every day. It will make your back pain go away!!! And also try not to slouch when sitting!!
You can actually start out doing this on the floor. There's a yoga pose commonly called the superman pose, which is basically this exercise on the floor. Probably the best way to go if you're starting with a very weak back.
I have low back pain ,and I did about 5 of those on the edge of my bed . When I stood back up , my back didn't hurt at all for a little while..Lol I couldn't believe it . They do work if u don't do it too hard , so I'm gunna keep doing them this week and see if I can get a bit better at it..I'm glad I saw this vid , Thanks .
@@weavehole I've been doing them the last 5 days , and I've got to say I'm getting better at them already..and my back seems to be getting better already . My lower back doesn't hurt as bad after squats , deadlifts and various movements etc..So they're definitely worth doing from now on for me 👍
Jeff… I've had 2 lumbar microdiscectomy surgeries for an L5 S1 herniation that put pressure on my sciatic nerve and caused unbearable pain. I wasn't even 40 yet. I am now almost 41, still have some low back pain and nerve issues due to the 2nd herniated disc. I have to say, I have been at my wits' end not knowing what to do to get rid of this pain - not to mention the psychological trauma from having a repeat surgery and fearing even worse later down the line. Your videos, especially this one, have given me hope and I am already feeling a difference just from 1 or 2 times of performing these types of exercises. Keep up the good work, and God-bless!
This is incredible. I've been having lower back pain for weeks and I did this once and instantly felt better! I'm going to do this ever morning from now on
Dealing with a sciatica flare up now for months. Despite a limited gym at my apartment complex, using the bench for this exercise worked great. Feeling immediate relief. Going to stick with it daily and report back how it shapes my healing trajectory
@@benjaminhenderson4472 slowly getting better but a ways to go. Stopped the bench back extensions after tweaking my back a week into doing them. Still doing press ups and other more controlled extensions. Main thing that’s helping is walking, trying 7-10k steps per day with good posture and brisk stride. Also plenty of abductor exercises.
As a chiropractor who sees back pain in his office on a daily basis, I find this suggestion and its explanation invaluable. Thank you Jeff and Merry Christmas!!!
It would truly scare me for a licenced chiropractor not to already be aware of what Jeff talks about in his videos. Like you guys are the equivalent of PhDs in this stuff, jeff is like a BA or MA at most.
@@AbeAlJ ...... I have many techniques and tools in my tool box as a chiropractor. It's always refreshing to see someone like Jeff disseminating good information to people who can use it. None of us should be above learning new things.
I'm 53 and have 5 herniated disc's in the lumbar section of my spine as well as 6 others with various damage between the shoulders area. Jeff's videos and info have helped me immeasurably.
I'm 63, rupture disc 91, spinal fusion 2013......never took pain meds due to exercise.....doctor tells me No exercise....hell with him....I focus on the muscles around the injury.... Knee replacement 2018... Waiting for another knee replacement soon ...able to do squats...this helps.... I enjoy working out only with only light weights with more reps & 48hrs rest time....great video!
He explained very clearly and said lower back itself is very stable but the pain is due to some other reason and then said that it can be because of weak buttocks and finallyI understood my problem thank you Jeff
60 years of all kinds of sports (mainly boxing) and I never had instrant relief from discomfort the way I did with this exercise ! Now a fan ,I'm going through your vids for more info and better body positioning during workouts. Kudos from across the Atlantic
Thank you bro that exercise for the lower back makes alot of sense. My name is Hone and I am a big fan from New Zealand Aotearoa Tu meke Jeff Kia Kaha brother you saved me alot of pain and injuries I dont know how to thank you enough.
Thank you Athlean-X for helping me! I like to go out dancing with my partner and i was having back pains constantly in the morning. I go to the gym 4-5 per week and i was confused why it was happening. Your exercises helped me and it has relieved me from my pain!
You’re absolutely right, I’ve been doing this during corona and my lower back pain I’ve had for many years is finally feeling better, still more to go but I can tell the pain is getting lesser and lesser each week. I will forward this video to everyone I know with a lower back pain many thanks. Love from London ❤️👍🏼
I have lost 90 pounds in 2019. For the last few months I have been focusing on strengthening my core while starting endurance running. For the first time in 20 years I am free of back pain. Will be adding these leg raises to my daily routine. Thanks for your great videos and excellent information!
Every day I wake up with lower back pain and stiffness. My "go-to" stretch from my physical therapist wasn't working and I came across ATHLEAN-X and this exercise. After doing 10 reps over 5 seconds each, twice a day, for less than a week, I woke up this morning with no pain and just a bit of stiffness. This exercise works those lower back muscles that cause my pain and stiffness. THANK YOU!
I'm curious. I thought that shin splints were caused by weight and force not being cushioned by running on the front half of your foot? Heel to toe isn't a normal human movement evolutionary speaking?
@@TomekBlacksMyth a video on everything i need to know from the knee down made by Jeff would be great! i don't know anything about that area and how to warm up, stretch, and make sure everything is working properly and how to fix. i don't have constant shin splints but every once in a great while, i get them.
shin splits usually come from running posture, i've had problems with shin splints cause i pull forward with my shins and my glutes/hamstrings are weak
I had that back pain 2x in my life, complete with spasms and inability to get out of the bed. Not as painful as kidney stones or migraines, but right up there on the list. I do this back exercise religiously.
I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for two years. Pretty sure it’s not a disk or nerve pain. I’ve definitely had weakness and lack of mobility at the hips. Gonna start incorporating this as I have with face pulls (which thanks to your advice helped me get through my shoulder injury). Thank you so much Jeff. You’re a light in this world of incompetent physical therapists and sports medicine doctors.
This exercise fixed my excruciating back pain in 2 weeks doing this every day started with 1x10 up to 3X10 per day. THANK YOU JEFF …this was a miracle cure for me… so grateful ❤
Another thing that you can do when your muscles are already tensed up is to stretch them to remove the tension. This helped me a lot with my back pain. Since doing those stretches daily I didn't have any back pain again.
This right here is the video I have been searching for for months. My lower back kills me (mostly from work) and I KNEW I needed to strengthen it but didn't know how until just now. And I just bought a bench like the one you used in the video. I'm looking forward to doing these daily. Thank God I found this channel and this video.
I used to do reverse calf curls. But this move takes it to the next level. It's INSTANT relief. Furthermore it made me feel where the weakness in my body is. It's like im learning to walk again. Thank you Jeff 🙏
I’ve had lower back pain for years I just did this on the edge of my bed. Feet barely over floor fully extended my body on bed and did exactly what he said. Squeezed glutes as I raise my legs up and kept legs up then as I lower legs I release tension in glutes. I did about 50 raises in sets of 10. This is legit the best lower back pain work out I’ve ever did. I recommend this for everyone with lower back pain issues. Don’t just watch Jeff, get up and do it on the edge of your bed or sofa!!! ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏽
Great video, Jeff! I've been obese for the last 20 years and just starting to get into shape again in December. Since I've started, I've shed 30 pounds, lost my man boobs and started getting some shape to my chest, but I'd still get lower back pain every few weeks. Been doing this exercise for the past week and the pain has gone away. I will definitely keep doing these everyday and also add in your other glute exercises!

This has absolutely helped me. I have been pain free for over two years doing this every morning, over my kitchen counter. One set of 20. This is the only thing that has helped completely!

The only back pain Jeff has ever had, is from carrying the RUclips fitness community.
Minibanter 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's a pain in the ass not in the low back.
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
Nah Jeff has trained all his life to do this. He doesn't have back pain.
Carrying and correcting
Jeff, thank you for removing all my pain . i have scoliosis all my life i've been in pain. when sitting, walking, sleeping whatever. chiropractors, physical therapy, orthopedic doctors since, I was 17 , now i'm the young age of 79 , and out of pain for the first. From my neck to my toes you have stabilized my spine,and i don't have to were arch supports any longer. thankyou.
I have sent you videos to everyone ,i even stop people in stores and tell them about you.
send the videos ;)
That's so nice! I hope I can get benefits from it as well. Any important video you would advice somebody with back pain to watch besides this?
You're great! Keep going Mrs.! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥
I'm happy to hear your better Ann. It gives me hope that I can get back to normal. Past two weeks have been the worse in my life. I'm going to try this workout and pray for the best.
Thanq. Had back pain after trying crazy yoga move "little thunder" when not ready for it..ouch..muscles tight..I have incorporated today..thnx Jeff
My lower back pain: **enjoys it's 24/7 existence**
Jeff:
My lower back: **sweats nervously**
75 years old and I do what Jeff says. Changed my life as a professor (brain health)
and dancer (athletic health). Muscles, balance, energy, mental acuity all improved because of Jeff...His combination of training, education, and science has led to the best, safest and healthiest results. I am almost ready for the next 25 years.
Great to see somebody like you here. Salute too ;D
I hope you have a healthy life
aye good luck man stay safe
best of luck brother!! you got this
What specifically are you doing of his just like all of his stuff or like select number
I wish Jeff could tell me how to keep my relationships strong and stable.
Face pulls probably 🤷🏽♂️
More action with the lower back and hips is the answer. More repetitive movements, multiple times a day, repeat whenever you get the chance.
High quality repitions
Get your money up! Grow a heart (since you sound like you care) & get your stroke game on point!
Chetan HG AAAAAHHH amazing 10/10 comment highly recommend
He said "I didn't even realise I did this until Jesse pointed it out"
Does my man realise he goes to the gym every day too?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He lives in the gym
Owen Fitzsimmons He’ll probably snap out and says “I didn’t realise I never go to the gym because I live in one until you pointed it out !”
He's always stoned when he does it
It's just second nature to him at this point.
I did so much deadlift, my lower back started hurting due to my muscles pulling my whole upper body back. I started doing abs exersises again, to balance it out and i got it fixed. Thanks Jeff.
Is this a thing? I've never heard of pulling anterior muscles from having a strong back. Has anyone else gone through this?
Not saying what you sent through was fake but this is just really rare to come across
Deadlifts should not be done unless you plan of doing it for ever I guess as a deadlifter which is basically the end of you
KILLER DESTROYER entirely incorrect. The deadlift is a compound movement and strengthens the whole of the posterior chain. If you don’t do deadlifts now I would fully recommend starting. Make sure your form is correct though.
I think that's what im going through now. When I sneezed, my back freezes up and gives out some times. It's almost impossible to do hip thrusts or crunches.
How did you fix it?
Jeff, thank you so much. I feel like you’ve saved my life. i’m 14 years old, i lift for about 1.5 year now and my back pain was horrible for about 4 months. I’m doing this exercise for 3 weeks now and i feel lot better, i can finally run, jump and get up from bed without any pain in my back. Your videos also helped me with knee pain, shoulder pain and technique. Thank you Jeff❤
I had lowerback pain for 2 years i quited gym and almost my job because of this issue. Started this exercise 4 months ago thank you jeff for chaning my life i can live normal again.
Am happy for u 😊 I will start doing the exercises ,I too have lower back pain for 2years now , guys wish me good luck 😊
Can I ask you something, did you only do this exercise or tried some other exercises as well ?
@@winniemutindi3755 goooooooood luck lad , tell me did it work?
Really happy for you mate
Good for you man.hey I'm 23 now..I had to stop going to the gym 1.5 years ago coz of lower back pain..and now I took new year resolution to workout..and I'm scared of getting that back pain again..it comes sometimes..and I try to sleep..sit in a certain position to get rid of it..I can't tell how low I feel sometimes bcz of this..maybe this will help..let's see..I'll let you guys know
My lower back pain immediately decreased substantially after one set. I will be doing this every day at least twice a day now. Thank you, you badass sir.
Update: 5 days in and I no longer have back pain. I had back pain from lying down to sleep and it is gone. I do around 4 sets of 10 a day.
Update: 6 months no back pain when doing anything. I do a set of 12 every morning and a set of 12 after I lift. You'll notice I do a lot less than when I first started. It is just maintenance at this point.
This is the kind of comment we need. Thanks.
Thank you. I have had low back pain for a couple years now. Nothing has helped. I will try this. My lower left back hurts and it controls my day! Physical therapy dodnt do anything for me.
Bullwinkel Jeff has more vids on lower back pain and how to fix, check those out! Really good stuff.
Can concur: one set and the pain that kept me up all night last night has eased substantially. Love the update/edit too; makes me even more optimistic!
This was my exact question. I just started doing this and feel a noticeable difference and now I'm wondering if I can do it more than once a day?
Okay, here it goes. Hopefully it helps some of you guys....
Twelve years back i broke my back. Tried a lot of stuff, but could never really manage to recover from it fully. Erly last year, i got hospitalized again due to a spasm. Couldn't move for a week. Finally with some physio i got back on my feet. I was asked to do back strengthening exercises along with glutes and core muscles. This was one of the exercises recommended by the physio. I was doing it at home initially cuz i couldn't hit the gym for a while. It made HELL a lot of difference. For someone like me, who carried this pain for a long time, I even forgot that I had broken my back 10 years ago.
A big shout out to AthleanX for recommending this exercise. It is part of my normal warm up routine every day at the gym and i suggest no one miss it ever. It just takes 2 mins for 2 sets. Makes a world of difference!!!
Single greatest exercise I've found when it comes to chronic low back pain / tightness.
Have had low back pain for about 3 years which was really beginning to bug me when at my desk or driving. Experienced 2 bad spasms which had me out of commission for a couple of weeks each time. I've tried physios, massages, lots of different routines from youtube but this one exercise has had the greatest impact on my wellbeing of everything I've tried.
I no longer dread long drives, or wake up with a back and hips feeling awful. The day after I tried a few sets of reverse hypers I immediately noticed a reduction in my back discomfort and a big improvement in my ability to sit still in a car for 1 hour plus. Even the feeling of tightness which I had put down to shortened muscles is improving too. The whole problem was a weak low back and this is the cure.
Thank you Jeff. You may well have saved my life.

I had been suffering from lower back pain for a long time, and the doctor told me that there was weakness in the lower back muscles Thank God I have done these exercises successfully and I can say that my lower back pain has disappeared Sometimes I wanted to give up because I did not see any improvement, but I continued doing these exercises for about two months, and now, thank God, the lower back pain has disappeared. The lower back muscles have become strong. I advise anyone to be patient, do these exercises, and pray to God. God willing, back pain will disappear Thanks athlean
It’s funny how people sleep. I sleep on my side. My roommate sleeps on his belly. And the rest of the world sleeps on Jeff Cavalier
😂
What does that even mean?
This was actually genius
I get back pain when I sleep on my belly, heard from a friend its not good to sleep on your belly
A. P. The man has 10 mil subs no one is sleeping on him
My guy Jeff is the only person I trust on RUclips with health related videos. You can tell he actually knows what he's talking about and not just spouting nonsense. Keep up the good work fam!
Check out Jeff nipard or Jeremy ethier they both post consistent science based fitness videos and use papers and studies to back it up those two channels and athlean x are the only channels I trust on RUclips. Best wishes to you and your goals brother
Sung-Soo Devine Jeremy Ethier uses so many studies you’ll feel like you just got your PhD after watching his videos. Really good stuff, though.

Video Request : Stretching routine before going to bed.
that would be a good vid
I think he did describe his nighttime stretching routine in one of his much older videos
He doesn't recommend stretching at night, I don't remember the explanation or the name of the video but he discourages stretching before bed
@@Diegomolinams98 I clearly heard him say otherwise, stretch after workout but preferably before going to bed.
Just found it back in this video at this timing : ruclips.net/video/wLAerhu77ws/видео.html
But also on other videos.
After the day work , workout ect.. u tense up in your sleep the most , best to stretch in the morning, first thing I do , been 4 years of this , now after 30 min routine I hang from a bar for 5 mins , then hit my invert table for 5 mins, pains still there but under control, I've increased my range of motion so much I get great adjustments without the invert table now, but still love my table
Dude this is amazing. Had pain for weeks. Just done one set and it already feels 100 times better.
The only back pain Jeff gets is from carrying all of us
This is gold
Lol more like carrying the fitness industry
Nice one ;-)
This wins the internet today. Lmao
Haha! Brilliant.
Louie Simmons developed that movement in the 80s after he broke his back doing good mornings. He said it turned into one of the most important movements he used in his gym.
Great call and props to Louie Simmons who INVENTED the reverse hypertension machine at the Westside Barbell Club in Columbus, Ohio. I actually gave one in my gym and use it everyday.
You definitely don't see this the equipment for this move in many gyms.
michael cramer no doubt, I love mine!!!
EXACTLY! 😁😁😁💪🐄🇺🇸🦅🏁❤
Bruce Lee injured his back doing good mornings too 😵
I've been using Jeff's routines for a few months now... WOW! He KNOWS HIS STUFF! By treating the causes rather than dealing with symptoms is the difference. Whether it's getting bigger biceps or wider deltoids or stopping low back pain, Jeff's advice is priceless!!!
This exercise ABSOLUTELY WORKS! I did it today after finding out about it and back already feels better.
How did he know my back was hurting? Just yesterday i was doing squats and my back was tight!
If squats are giving you back pain, it sounds like youre not squeezing your ass enough at the top.
what do you mean your back was tight? if your back was tight you need to work your lower abs by curling your pelvic up and squeezing with your glutes as hard as possible. this video is for people with weak lower back, not tight lower back. tight lower back means it's overworked and u need to flex your spine some more. this video is for people with tight lower abs causing them to go posterior tilt when squatting. this video helps them to extend and curve their lumbar spine. if your lower back is tight you need to stretch it by flexing your pelvic and lower spine in front of you and up.
@@joegt123 got it! Come to think of it, i dont really squeeze my ass when i come back up. I'll start doing this!
@@Zetsuke4 thanks for the advice! I'll definitely start working on my abs and start squeezing my cheeks when i come up! Like i told @joegt123, i dont think i squeeze very much during squats! I'll work on this!
@@noepadilla6688 give er' a squeeze and flex core when you unrack the bar to set up as well. I found this helps me from experiencing back pain.
This video changed my life and I'm forever grateful to you! I had extreme pain every single morning for 2 years that made it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning. After an hour, it would fade and by the afternoon it was gone. It made it so I didn't want to sleep anymore because I knew I'd wake up in pain. Doing these exercises 3x per day (over a large exercise ball and holding onto the bottom of my couch) and my pain is gone completely! I saw results after literally 1 day. I can't thank you enough!!!
I’ve had lower back pain for 2 years. I’m in the 10th day of doing this exercise and I’m already pain free! How’s ur pain?
@@George-um1ke how is your pain today guys?

4 years ago i had a doctor tell me i should never lift heavy weights or have a physical job ever again due to my back pain, same day i watched this video, 1 week later no more back pain AT ALL. Now i’m lifting more weight than ever with absolutely zero lower back pain, thanks Jeff:)
Great exercise! 45 yrs old, suffered lower back pain for years, this movement, daily, has made a huge difference, very minor discomfort on occasion, but feel much better otherwise, thanks so much!
Yeh same.
A few years back I saw a video by Jeff describing different factors that can cause problems and realized I had issues with ankle mobility. I can point my toes easily but can't bend my toes toward my shins well. At least couldn't, bit mire flexible now. Started working on that, doing time under tension training (TUTT) and glute bridges to strengthen my glutes. The TUTT helped with mind muscle connection and control deep in the squat where my form was breaking down. Now the only pain I usually get is the normal sort you get after a good workout.
And now?
Just tried this... and the tightness I was experiencing in the right side of my lower back immediately dissipated. This really helped; thank you for these videos, Jeff.
Was the pain appearing when u sit?
@@yassenhesham892 if you have low back pain when you sit, it's because either your back muscles can't hold your weight too long or there's an inflammation going on. If you're 100% sure your back muscles are fit for the job, you might want to have your spinal cord checked. Good luck

As the end of the year is comming, and christmas is on it's way, I want to say thank you to Jeff and his crew. This Video is a good example how they care about us non Fitnessguys. Started this year in May and it littarelly changed my life for the better. I will never be as sporty as Jeff but he motivated me to train 5 times a week and I fell so much better. I needed 6 month to nearly compleete A1X but it is great feeeling, Do I have issues? Hell yes, my nutrition is still improovable, but still I feel so much better and it took me 44 years to realise.
So once again, thank you, have some beautifull days with your beloved ones, looking forward to the challanges of next year!

Jeff: What did you say?
Face pulls
I never thought I would be able to lift again. I’ve been to so many physio’s and chiropractors over the last few years as I’ve had serious back issues with disc problems., couldn’t lift without lower back pain. Started doing these 7 months ago, 30 in the morning, 30 in the evening. Within a month I noticed the difference, after a few months I was lifting again with no lower back pain. I still have to be careful as the damage is done, but I never thought I would be back to this position, this has Improved my life so much I can’t thank you enough. To anyone reading this with back issues, do it religiously everyday and you won’t be disappointed!
This is very motivating to read. I've been doing them and still feel tightness but I think the pain is dissipating and haven't had truly awful days since. I'm 3 weeks in so more time is probably necessary.
@@gibby35412 I thought I would come back and leave a comment as this has helped me so much, I will probably do these everyday for the rest of my life. I also wear a back support for most things which also helps. Keep going with it I’m sure it will help in the long term

I can't describe how much my lower back pain ha set me back. My whole motivational drive was broken by this. Thanks for this video.
Exactly. Trying to do even beginner or easy ab and core exercises, get a few reps in and the back pain kicks in. Just doesn't make you feel like continuing.
I’ve been having problems doing basic ab exercises like crunches due to lower back pain. I just did this for the first time ever and felt instant relief! I can’t wait to do this everyday. Thank you so much!
I felt instant relief as well and my nagging lower back pain is nowhere to be found. Trampolining helps as well believe it or not.
STAY AWAY from flexion (such as crunches) and work more with low back EXTENSION. Prop up on your elbows while laying flat for 2-3 mins, then lay flat for a minute. Go back and forth 5-6 times every day. It will make your back pain go away!!! And also try not to slouch when sitting!!
Jeff: "this is not a difficult movement"
Me: nearly shatter my entire lower body on half a rep
Haven’t tried it yet but that’s what I was thinking my back has been tight for years and can’t fathom doing this with ease right now.
You can actually start out doing this on the floor. There's a yoga pose commonly called the superman pose, which is basically this exercise on the floor. Probably the best way to go if you're starting with a very weak back.

Jeff… I've had 2 lumbar microdiscectomy surgeries for an L5 S1 herniation that put pressure on my sciatic nerve and caused unbearable pain.
I wasn't even 40 yet.
I am now almost 41, still have some low back pain and nerve issues due to the 2nd herniated disc.
I have to say, I have been at my wits' end not knowing what to do to get rid of this pain - not to mention the psychological trauma from having a repeat surgery and fearing even worse later down the line.
Your videos, especially this one, have given me hope and I am already feeling a difference just from 1 or 2 times of performing these types of exercises.
Keep up the good work, and God-bless!
This is the knowledge professional athletes get from their people, we should be so lucky Jeff blesses us with free information.

Dealing with a sciatica flare up now for months. Despite a limited gym at my apartment complex, using the bench for this exercise worked great. Feeling immediate relief. Going to stick with it daily and report back how it shapes my healing trajectory
How’s the back?
@@benjaminhenderson4472 slowly getting better but a ways to go. Stopped the bench back extensions after tweaking my back a week into doing them. Still doing press ups and other more controlled extensions. Main thing that’s helping is walking, trying 7-10k steps per day with good posture and brisk stride. Also plenty of abductor exercises.

Jeff: this is my FACEPULL for the posterior chain
Then finish with face pulls, driven by your glutes.

As a chiropractor who sees back pain in his office on a daily basis, I find this suggestion and its explanation invaluable. Thank you Jeff and Merry Christmas!!!

You’re absolutely right, I’ve been doing this during corona and my lower back pain I’ve had for many years is finally feeling better, still more to go but I can tell the pain is getting lesser and lesser each week. I will forward this video to everyone I know with a lower back pain many thanks. Love from London ❤️👍🏼
How is your back today?
Update sir ?
I have lost 90 pounds in 2019. For the last few months I have been focusing on strengthening my core while starting endurance running. For the first time in 20 years I am free of back pain.
Will be adding these leg raises to my daily routine.
Thanks for your great videos and excellent information!
Good job man!
badass
Every day I wake up with lower back pain and stiffness. My "go-to" stretch from my physical therapist wasn't working and I came across ATHLEAN-X and this exercise. After doing 10 reps over 5 seconds each, twice a day, for less than a week, I woke up this morning with no pain and just a bit of stiffness. This exercise works those lower back muscles that cause my pain and stiffness. THANK YOU!
VIDEO REQUEST: "SHIN SPLINT" STUFF
I'm curious. I thought that shin splints were caused by weight and force not being cushioned by running on the front half of your foot?
Heel to toe isn't a normal human movement evolutionary speaking?
@@TomekBlacksMyth a video on everything i need to know from the knee down made by Jeff would be great! i don't know anything about that area and how to warm up, stretch, and make sure everything is working properly and how to fix. i don't have constant shin splints but every once in a great while, i get them.
I used to get shin splints so bad I would wake up screaming in pain.
Yaaa we need a shin splints video
shin splits usually come from running posture, i've had problems with shin splints cause i pull forward with my shins and my glutes/hamstrings are weak
That’s crazy that Jeff is approaching his 50,s looks amazing
Love how confident he is in his advice
Oh my word! I don't normally leave comments but.. BROS TRY THIS!!! IT WORKS!!! I'm 6ft 3ins had lower back pain since 2014, TRY IT!!!!!!
I had that back pain 2x in my life, complete with spasms and inability to get out of the bed. Not as painful as kidney stones or migraines, but right up there on the list. I do this back exercise religiously.
I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for two years. Pretty sure it’s not a disk or nerve pain. I’ve definitely had weakness and lack of mobility at the hips. Gonna start incorporating this as I have with face pulls (which thanks to your advice helped me get through my shoulder injury). Thank you so much Jeff. You’re a light in this world of incompetent physical therapists and sports medicine doctors.
how is it now?
@@svencastricum5708 after he tried this ,he passed away
Been watching you forever helped me through alot and now you've saved my girlfriend
This exercise fixed my excruciating back pain in 2 weeks doing this every day started with 1x10 up to 3X10 per day. THANK YOU JEFF …this was a miracle cure for me… so grateful ❤
This exercise I'm doing with my wife every day. She has always a Low-Back-Pain. Good results!
Her pain would ease up if you stop laying down on top of her and sweating vigorously :)
nathan billy 😂😂😂
Explain your self Mr.
Me: wtf why is my lower back hurting so much today
Jeff: WHY BACK PAIN IS KILLING YOUR GAINS
Another thing that you can do when your muscles are already tensed up is to stretch them to remove the tension. This helped me a lot with my back pain. Since doing those stretches daily I didn't have any back pain again.
This right here is the video I have been searching for for months. My lower back kills me (mostly from work) and I KNEW I needed to strengthen it but didn't know how until just now. And I just bought a bench like the one you used in the video. I'm looking forward to doing these daily. Thank God I found this channel and this video.
I used to do reverse calf curls. But this move takes it to the next level. It's INSTANT relief. Furthermore it made me feel where the weakness in my body is.
It's like im learning to walk again.
Thank you Jeff 🙏
I've been dealing with lower back pain issues for yrs. This is truly helpful Jeff. Thanks for putting this together. THIS HAS HELPED ALOT !!
Perfect timing, just what I needed. ✊🏽💯
I’ve had lower back pain for years I just did this on the edge of my bed. Feet barely over floor fully extended my body on bed and did exactly what he said. Squeezed glutes as I raise my legs up and kept legs up then as I lower legs I release tension in glutes. I did about 50 raises in sets of 10. This is legit the best lower back pain work out I’ve ever did. I recommend this for everyone with lower back pain issues. Don’t just watch Jeff, get up and do it on the edge of your bed or sofa!!! ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏽
Great video, Jeff! I've been obese for the last 20 years and just starting to get into shape again in December. Since I've started, I've shed 30 pounds, lost my man boobs and started getting some shape to my chest, but I'd still get lower back pain every few weeks. Been doing this exercise for the past week and the pain has gone away. I will definitely keep doing these everyday and also add in your other glute exercises!
Congrats on the effort!
- Me : seems like an exercise for ladies 's booty
- Jeff : this is my facepull for your lower back
- me : holy duck
Perfect timing. My backs been killing me 😂
holy shit same
