@@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.
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❤
@@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!
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.
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?
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.
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!!!

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.
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 👌👍🏻
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
@@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
Ive been training for over 30 years. My routine is old and played out. Your videos have helped me put new life back into my fitness program! I cant thank you enough!
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
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!
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!
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!
@@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'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.
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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'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.
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.
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
Of all the topics Jeff has videos about, the low back pain set is the most beneficial to me. I've been struggling with low back pain for decades (since I decided foolhardily to drag a huge desk up a flight of stairs by myself. That night, my back burned more than it ever has in my life). So after physical therapy, chiropractic, and lots of drugs, I finally started a routine based on Jeff's videos. It's been about 6 months of this and my back is stronger and feels better than it has in years. Thanks Athlean-X!
I appreciate you and your channel Jeff! The information you provide on injury avoidance and the proper way to perform an exercise is priceless. Was having chronic groin area pain until you showed hazard of placing knee on a bench when performing a bent over dumbbell row. Now I do them w/o knee on bench, both feet planted - no more pain! Having had five shoulder surgeries due to impenishments to both shoulders and resultant rotator cuff fraying, you advice on variations to benchpresses, overhead presses and dips has also saved me from a developing problem. Yeah face pulls, etc.!!! The exercises for lower back pain were also extremely beneficial. Because of your invaluable advice, I am pain free, getting stronger and more buff than ever before as a natural trainer. Cannot thank you enough Jeff!!! Happy training - William!
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:)
It's destroyed far more than my gains. My back issues have ruined my whole life. My fitness, my career, my sanity. I used to lift, run, swim, and now I'm lucky to hobble around the block before collapsing in pain in front of the TV.
@@sc7244 Work. I was just an expendable construction worker. And when they're done with your back, they'll call it a pre-existing condition and scrap you.
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.
The "dead hang" has helped me immensely with my chronic back pain. At first I could only do a few seconds but now I do a minute plus. It's almost fixed my back pain. Do a video on that!
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
@@gatekeeper99924 Mate, I'm speaking solely based on my experience. Just doing deadlifts consistently and getting stronger at them has fixed my lower back pain. It feels strange at first, since you are loading a distressed area. Over time, the frequency of my back pain reduced until it subsided completely (should've been some 4-5 weeks after I started deadlifting seriously). Also, take short 5-10min walks after sitting in the same position for prolonged durations. Most importantly, don't be afraid about moving and hurting yourself. The psychological aspect plays a huge role in pain perception. All the best 😁
@@mrSargi7TLDR: 3 months-ish I'm not sure what exactly caused my back pain- poor form/posture, ego-lifting with friends or perhaps a combination of these. Following common advice, I laid off from exercises that worked the lower back for nearly 3 months. The pain only started getting worse, and I would dread bending down to pick something off the ground. Later, I stumbled upon Dr Austin Baraki's podcast on pain, where he spoke about pain perception and the things I mentioned above. It made sense to me and I started doing deadlifts/low-bar squats, with a weight that wasn't aggravating and started building up from there.
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!
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.
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
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.
Hello Jeff! I'm starting to do this as of today. I have had 2 surgeries on my back and still have pain on my lower back. I was thinking about going in for a third surgery but before that I'm trying out everything else that's out there. I started doing on of the other exercises you posted not long ago, so I'm hoping the combination of some of your exercises will help will this issue. Seriously these back pain lowers your quality of life so much.... I'll keep you posted about my progress.
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..."
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.
Athlean-X i really appreciate what you do. I've just now finally committed to a personal trainer. I have never been into weights and have always stayed thin superficially. Meaning I do way too much cardio and I based my foods on fat content rather than its nutritional value, natural value (GMO OR NOT) and ignoring weather or not what I'm consuming is a preservative or not. Ive lost 100lbs before. I'm 6'4. That was near twenty years ago (am 38 now), but the way in which I lost that weight and retained it were the most unnatural and worse habits one could do to him or herself to retain that weight loss. The beauty about age and evolution is you come into your own and vanity becomes irrelevant. My ambitions and reasons for wanting to better myself are a worlds different then they were 20 years ago. Unfortunately, those bad habits got the worst of me during covid. I ballooned up to 310lbs, went from being a mild cigeratte smoker to a habitual one. The nail in the coffin was when my doctor told me I got diabetes on June 11, 2021. I have been informed I have a three month window to reverse my diagnoses (June 11 to September 11). I have forgone smoking and am coming back to minor withdrawls. I am learning that smoking stemmed from my horrid dietary habits all these years. Doing anything to suppress my appetite. Smoking made hunger less prevalent. I have invested in a personal trainer and have made a commitment to two years. When I loss that 100lbs so many years ago. It took me two years. What that is telling me is that for this two years. I am going to focus on learning life long habits that won't reverse and damage me anymore. I appreciate you and what you do. Since covid my lower back has been beyond painful. I'm a full time student working on becoming a high school geography teacher. Covid made everything online and unemployment gave me so much money all I did was eat expensive crap. The ten steps from my room to the couch was my movement for a year. I was always laying down. I have been working with my team to target this issue. I work on my own too. A form of that is reading and watching professionals. I have watched your videos on and off here and there for some years. I believe that even if you don't do what's being taught. Once you watch, read and hear. The visual memory and instruction is embeded in your brain. After all these years of watching you on and off I got curious about planks. Your video about planks being bad just happenned to show up on my feed Monday night. Tuesday was my first day with a new trainer. He randomly had me doing planks. I mentioned your video. After watching your video again I watched some more. I came across this video. When I saw the reverse hyper extention I knew I found the little Irish man's pot of gold! I hit the jackpot. I did that excersize immediately. And it is making feel 20 times better. I'm doing my best but I still get that lower back pain. What you are showing here is saving me. The part that I like about this most is that you can do this on any flat surface. I tried it out on my coffee table earlier. It worked. Thank you so much for giving bums like me a fighting chance ✊🏿
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!
Definitely gonna give this a try.I was having a lower back pain at my right hand side when running 🏃♂️ or working out started doing some different stretches and exercises you recommended for the hip flexor in a previous video noticed the difference right away.Thanks for the knowledge .Now I don’t have to stop working out 🏋️♀️
Jeff, you are absolutely a life-saver. I recently discovered your channel and started implementing your tips like this, and honestly, your advice has changed my life absolutely for the better. You’re the best to do it in the fitness game, bar none.
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!!! ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏽
Your comment gave me an idea in an odd way. The wife won't let me use the table, beds make my body feel unstable, but I can use the bed of my truck. It works for me. Like I said, your comment triggered an odd association, but THANK YOU nonetheless!
I am a physical therapist as well. Enjoy the videos. I recommended people sitting on the ground more than chairs and doing deep squats working on keeping heels on ground and being able to hold that position for several minutes.
I have lower back pain due to long road trips in my truck, also doing some jobs in my past have affected. Ive had chiropractor, massages etc. All helps but not enough. I will try this out and report back in about a month each time to see how it goes! Thank you athlean X for this video. I swear youtube reads my mind for these videos. First i was looking at weight loss videos etc and now my lower back! I cant wait to feel the difference!
Thank you Jeff, the last three days I had terrible back pain. I have been doing these exercises three times a day and the pain is now subsided. Thank you so much! This pain relief feels amazing. Jarod, Canberra Australia

was it forward bending lower back pain?

He's not Athlean-X,
He's everyones pops
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.
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.

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❤
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.

Jesse?
@@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!
My lower back pain: **enjoys it's 24/7 existence**
Jeff:
My lower back: **sweats nervously**
Dude this is amazing. Had pain for weeks. Just done one set and it already feels 100 times better.
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?
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?
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.
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?
@@estefanogross9285 my pain is still here. I really don’t think that this exercise alone will help so much.
@@George-um1ke you keept doing it?
@@estefanogross9285 yes but it got worse

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.

This exercise ABSOLUTELY WORKS! I did it today after finding out about it and back already feels better.
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.

This is gold

Nice one ;-)

Haha! Brilliant.
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 👌👍🏻
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
Update?
Yo
Update bro
He’s died doing too many reps
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
Ive been training for over 30 years. My routine is old and played out. Your videos have helped me put new life back into my fitness program! I cant thank you enough!
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

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.

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!
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?

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).

@@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
I have DDD too! This is true stuff, my back pain was severe and it's totally gone! Donezo I'm a new person.

Pls tell me current situation of urs
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
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.
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!
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!
Me: ok it's lower back, probably no facepulls here
Jeff: this is my FACEPULL for the posterior chain
Love how confident he is in his advice
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'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 swear Jeff is listening to me through the phone. I’ve literally been getting back pain the last 2 weeks. How does he always do this 😂😂
Hurt my back a week ago, Athlean-X is like the superhero of athletes hands down 🙌
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.
Putting the science "back" in strength
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
Raymond is such a shy boy, he never talked the whole video!
Of all the topics Jeff has videos about, the low back pain set is the most beneficial to me. I've been struggling with low back pain for decades (since I decided foolhardily to drag a huge desk up a flight of stairs by myself. That night, my back burned more than it ever has in my life). So after physical therapy, chiropractic, and lots of drugs, I finally started a routine based on Jeff's videos. It's been about 6 months of this and my back is stronger and feels better than it has in years. Thanks Athlean-X!
I appreciate you and your channel Jeff! The information you provide on injury avoidance and the proper way to perform an exercise is priceless. Was having chronic groin area pain until you showed hazard of placing knee on a bench when performing a bent over dumbbell row. Now I do them w/o knee on bench, both feet planted - no more pain! Having had five shoulder surgeries due to impenishments to both shoulders and resultant rotator cuff fraying, you advice on variations to benchpresses, overhead presses and dips has also saved me from a developing problem. Yeah face pulls, etc.!!! The exercises for lower back pain were also extremely beneficial. Because of your invaluable advice, I am pain free, getting stronger and more buff than ever before as a natural trainer. Cannot thank you enough Jeff!!! Happy training - William!
What was that exercise for groin pain you did?
This is the knowledge professional athletes get from their people, we should be so lucky Jeff blesses us with free information.
Most professional athletes don't even get this quality of info. Pretty sad honestly how few trainers know even a bit of this.
my quality of life has improved greatly because of this channel AND FOR FREE I am eternally grateful

*_Back pain is killing your gains_*
Aloysius Solas So true
It's destroyed far more than my gains. My back issues have ruined my whole life. My fitness, my career, my sanity. I used to lift, run, swim, and now I'm lucky to hobble around the block before collapsing in pain in front of the TV.

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 to hear a testimony of a former back pain sufferer who did this and it cited his pain
hammill444 bummer
@@gatekeeper99924 Mate, I'm speaking solely based on my experience. Just doing deadlifts consistently and getting stronger at them has fixed my lower back pain. It feels strange at first, since you are loading a distressed area. Over time, the frequency of my back pain reduced until it subsided completely (should've been some 4-5 weeks after I started deadlifting seriously).
Also, take short 5-10min walks after sitting in the same position for prolonged durations.
Most importantly, don't be afraid about moving and hurting yourself. The psychological aspect plays a huge role in pain perception.
All the best 😁
@@AhmedKhan49 how long you have been having low back pain ?
@@mrSargi7TLDR: 3 months-ish
I'm not sure what exactly caused my back pain- poor form/posture, ego-lifting with friends or perhaps a combination of these.
Following common advice, I laid off from exercises that worked the lower back for nearly 3 months. The pain only started getting worse, and I would dread bending down to pick something off the ground.
Later, I stumbled upon Dr Austin Baraki's podcast on pain, where he spoke about pain perception and the things I mentioned above. It made sense to me and I started doing deadlifts/low-bar squats, with a weight that wasn't aggravating and started building up from there.
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!
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.
Been watching you forever helped me through alot and now you've saved my girlfriend
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

@@benjaminhenderson4472 slowly getting better but a ways to go. Stopped the bench back extensions after tweaking my back a week into doing them.

2:27 i did this exercise for 1minute and my pain cured permanently!! You are the best!! Love from INDIA🇮🇳
THANK YOU JEFF! I'll commit trying this exercise daily until my lower back pain reduces or gone. Any other tips for lower back exercise?
Does it helped?
Athlean-X i really appreciate what you do. I've just now finally committed to a personal trainer. I have never been into weights and have always stayed thin superficially. Meaning I do way too much cardio and I based my foods on fat content rather than its nutritional value, natural value (GMO OR NOT) and ignoring weather or not what I'm consuming is a preservative or not.
Ive lost 100lbs before. I'm 6'4. That was near twenty years ago (am 38 now), but the way in which I lost that weight and retained it were the most unnatural and worse habits one could do to him or herself to retain that weight loss.
The beauty about age and evolution is you come into your own and vanity becomes irrelevant. My ambitions and reasons for wanting to better myself are a worlds different then they were 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, those bad habits got the worst of me during covid. I ballooned up to 310lbs, went from being a mild cigeratte smoker to a habitual one. The nail in the coffin was when my doctor told me I got diabetes on June 11, 2021.
I have been informed I have a three month window to reverse my diagnoses (June 11 to September 11). I have forgone smoking and am coming back to minor withdrawls. I am learning that smoking stemmed from my horrid dietary habits all these years. Doing anything to suppress my appetite. Smoking made hunger less prevalent.
I have invested in a personal trainer and have made a commitment to two years. When I loss that 100lbs so many years ago. It took me two years. What that is telling me is that for this two years. I am going to focus on learning life long habits that won't reverse and damage me anymore.
I appreciate you and what you do. Since covid my lower back has been beyond painful. I'm a full time student working on becoming a high school geography teacher. Covid made everything online and unemployment gave me so much money all I did was eat expensive crap. The ten steps from my room to the couch was my movement for a year. I was always laying down.
I have been working with my team to target this issue. I work on my own too. A form of that is reading and watching professionals. I have watched your videos on and off here and there for some years.
I believe that even if you don't do what's being taught. Once you watch, read and hear. The visual memory and instruction is embeded in your brain. After all these years of watching you on and off I got curious about planks.
Your video about planks being bad just happenned to show up on my feed Monday night. Tuesday was my first day with a new trainer. He randomly had me doing planks. I mentioned your video.
After watching your video again I watched some more. I came across this video. When I saw the reverse hyper extention I knew I found the little Irish man's pot of gold! I hit the jackpot. I did that excersize immediately. And it is making feel 20 times better.
I'm doing my best but I still get that lower back pain. What you are showing here is saving me. The part that I like about this most is that you can do this on any flat surface. I tried it out on my coffee table earlier. It worked. Thank you so much for giving bums like me a fighting chance ✊🏿

Been doing them over a balance ball while holding dumbbells for stabilization
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 don’t really have back pain but I’m gonna do this for future purposes
Possibly still a good exercise to prevent lower back injuries/pain?
@@mikealiberti1799 its a good way to strengthen your lower back so yeah. Its worth training regularly as its part of the core anyway
dont forget abs
Definitely gonna give this a try.I was having a lower back pain at my right hand side when running 🏃♂️ or working out started doing some different stretches and exercises you recommended for the hip flexor in a previous video noticed the difference right away.Thanks for the knowledge .Now I don’t have to stop working out 🏋️♀️
The people who disliked this video had so much pain they started crying they couldn't see where they're clicking
Tal Plays 😫😂😂😂
Nah everyones back pain reincarnated in human form and came to dislike
Park_ING yes they did
Spineless haters?
makes sense
I guarantee this guy knows what he is talking about. But not everyone (I'm 76 with two hip replacements in 2022) can do this exercise!!
This guy is a RUclips gem! Has helped me so much!
Jeff, you are absolutely a life-saver. I recently discovered your channel and started implementing your tips like this, and honestly, your advice has changed my life absolutely for the better.
You’re the best to do it in the fitness game, bar none.
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!!! ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏽

🤣🤣🤣 I was reading your comment as 3:37 came into view
Your comment gave me an idea in an odd way. The wife won't let me use the table, beds make my body feel unstable, but I can use the bed of my truck. It works for me. Like I said, your comment triggered an odd association, but THANK YOU nonetheless!
I am a physical therapist as well. Enjoy the videos. I recommended people sitting on the ground more than chairs and doing deep squats working on keeping heels on ground and being able to hold that position for several minutes.
I have lower back pain due to long road trips in my truck, also doing some jobs in my past have affected. Ive had chiropractor, massages etc. All helps but not enough. I will try this out and report back in about a month each time to see how it goes! Thank you athlean X for this video. I swear youtube reads my mind for these videos. First i was looking at weight loss videos etc and now my lower back! I cant wait to feel the difference!
Def gonna try this out. As a roofer my back gets slaughtered.
Jeff I'm in Prison watching this. I can't get in this position or my cheeks might get took. Any alternatives?
Squeezing the glutes should prevent entry

Kevin B no pain no gain but Avoid the tossed salad, those groceries are NOT fresh!

Thank you Jeff, the last three days I had terrible back pain. I have been doing these exercises three times a day and the pain is now subsided. Thank you so much! This pain relief feels amazing. Jarod, Canberra Australia
