Trucking and back pain, tips for easing it.

Squats done with proper form will help strengthen your back and knees. Deadlifts also. Biggest thing is to stretch before and after. My bud who broke his back last year is back to working out with me. It took a ton of rehab but its like the accident never happened

 

Sounds like ego lifting to me..
1 rep maxes with no assistance not very bright..

 

What class would you lift in 220,242 ?

 

I'm no fitness guru but compound excercises like squats and deadlifts definitely seem to help with posture. I find I tend to sit and walk with a straighter spine and have much less back aches and pain. I also don't put on the miles a lot of you folks do. 200km is an average day for me.

 

Very impressive!
I would lift in the 242 class off season
For competitive bodybuilding ..
644 squat 395 bench 661 deadlift..

 

Looks like I've got some catching up to do lol. Only really been at the weightlifting seriously for a few months now.

 

I always have 2 spotters whenever I max. Its called raw. No belts no straps and no fancy "benching shirts" its not ego related at all dude.

I was in the 148 weight class. I'm only 5'6-5'7. Holy #### six those are some good numbers. I was 255 bench 405 dead and 325 squat.
