I am surprised that was able to minimize strength loss on my chest muscles by doing regular push ups
Before I stopped, I was lifting 120 lbs on the bench press for 2 sets of 7 reps
I tried to lift again yesterday. I was still able to lift 120 lbs on the bench press for 2 sets of 6 reps
For the inclined bench press, my previous lifting capacity is 100 lbs. I was able to lift 90 lbs only
For the back muscles, I lost a considerable amount of strenght. Before, I can lift 160 lbs on the lateral pull down machine. Yesterday, I was capped at 120 lbs for the lateral pull down
I didn't eat a pre-workout meal before I lifted yesterday. I did a short workout composed of flat bench press, inclined bench press, lateral pull down, and one arm dumbbell row. Each exercise has 2 sets only
I have to stop all exercises that hit the lower back. I can only do leg press for my quadriceps
Well, it's a lot better than totally stopping all exercises
I am very cautious now... I use back support belt even on the lateral pull down machine
Even on standing exercises like the standing dumbbell curl, I am still wearing a back support belt
got diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis 2 yrs ago. same with nrg500. maling akala about core strength so di ako nag belt. felt pinching pains in my lower back the day after doing an 80kg standing barbell military press. ignored ko lang and continued working out as usual - big mistake. felt some numbness in my left leg a couple of weeks later. went to a doctor, ayun bad news na. naiipit na daw pala nerve ko sa likod kaya pala may numbness.
so bawal ako mag buhat buhat @ got injected via iv push nang pain killer @ vitamin b12. now am back in the gym doing moderate lifts, and focusing more on safety while lifting.

naku ang bigat nun sir... natatakot din aq mag military press, moderate weight lng gawa q jan, buti qng may upuan na pwedeng masupport yung buong likod mo.. kahit nga sir sa squats moderate weights lng, damihan na lng ng reps, kysa heavy weights tpos mali na form, ndi lng kc quads/hamstrings ang apektado sa squats, pati yung spine din.
^Kung mali talaga form mo kahit di mabigat ang buhatin mo malaki ang chance mo magkaroon ng injury. Besides, being prone to injury is part of the game.
Sabi nga kung ayaw mo masaktan mag chess ka na lang...
ahahahhahah yan sabi ng coach ko lagi yung varsity ako nung high school sa basketball coach itoy esguerra "rotrot !@!#@$@!#$ mag chess ka na lang kung ayaw mo masaktan"!! hehe ganyan kami ka discipline before old school.. ganun din sa larangan ng weight lifting hindi mo yan madadaan sa pa cute!! pag pumunta ka gym dapat laging 100% intense ka heavy and play smart.. so if you aint gonna lift heavy.. go home and watch tv! hehe
like bardagul said, focus more on safety while lifting, that includes proper form. if you go for very heavy weights, look for a spotter to assist you. in that way, you avoid injuries.
^kaya sabi ko diba laging 100% intense, heavy and PLAY SMART. syempre diskarte sa pagbubuhat hindi naman pwede roborobo lang..idol natin katawan ni sir last dba??? tanong nyo sa kanya kung gaano kabigat ang binubuhat nya sa shoulder press and also sa back exercise nya?? sa tingin nyo nakuha nya katawan nya sa pacute lang sa gym o kaya lightweight lang???
May problema po ako beside sa long head biceps rupture/inflammation, pag nag shoulder press ako or military press may nagpapa-pop/tumutunog sa may bandang clavicle ko. hindi naman siya masakit pero everytime na iaangat ko kamay ko kahit walang weights e, tumutunog. dapat ko na bang pacheck to?

thanks! oo nga e d ko talaga naiwasan. next tym aausin ko na. sakit kasi kaasar. may possibility ba na grabeng injury ang makukuha sa ganun?
use back support belt
or you might be lifting too heavy that is why you tend to arch your back
oo pre nag try ako mag heavy. ayun sa likod napunta yung heavy. hehehe!
just avoid lifting "too heavy"
@nrg
ako rin pag bumubuhat ako di ko ramdam ung sakit pero pagtapos dun paparusahan ka sa sakit hahahah.

But according to Martin Berkhan, you are an advanced weight lifter already if you can lift 2x of your body weight
He he. By his standards, I am still a beginner
mahirap ang may injury lalo na kung lower back injury
ang daming apektado pag lower back
ang akala ko, basta stable ang core mo, pwede kahit walang back support belt
may tendency pa rin kasi na mawala ka sa tamang form
ang sabi ng doktor at ng bantay dun sa gym, dapat daw ay gumagamit ako ng back support belt
di pa naman huli ang lahat para sa akin
itigil ko muna for 6 months or more ang lahat ng exercise involving lower back. natatakot ako, baka mabaldado ako
leg press lang muna ang magagawa ko for leg exercises
better to be safe than sorry
wag ka tumulad sa akin
gumamit ka na ng back support belt lalo na kung more than your body weight na ang binubuhat mo
napakahirap ng may lower back injury... nakakainis at nakakalungkot
naku, magawa na nga ito. natakot talaga ako, seryoso. lagi ko tuloy pinapakiramdaman likod ko.
so bawal ako mag buhat buhat @ got injected via iv push nang pain killer @ vitamin b12. now am back in the gym doing moderate lifts, and focusing more on safety while lifting.

Definitely agree with you sir rot! Apir!
