Does your lower back bother you when you are deadlifting?

Try this:
Stand with your feet under your hips and your knees straight.
Bend over and let your hands drop to the floor as far as they are able to.

If you can’t touch the ground or you feel anything else besides stretching in your hamstrings, you have a flexibility limitation that could be the cause of your low back pain.

I’ll make another post soon with some movements that can help gain proper range of motion. Until it’s fixed though, I’d recommend doing elevated deadlifts so you’re not forcing yourself into positions that you don’t currently own.

We’re you FULL or LIMITED in this flexibility test??

I have worked as a coach for nearly 15 years.

In the fitness world, I’ve coached CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, youth strength and conditioning, general fitness, injury improvement, and nutrition.

I also coached tennis at the youth, adult, and collegiate level for several years.

My main focus for the past few years has been helping people get out of pain without going to the doctor!

Helping people realize that they don’t need to live with pain day after day and that there are ways to fix it is a huge passion of mine.

When ever I get the question “why does my ________ hurt?”, my answer is always, “it depends.”

For example, if you have shoulder pain, it could be from a limitation in flexibility, mobility, a strength imbalance, or stability in the shoulder. Or it could be none of those and it could be because you have tight ankles and you’re trying to do an overhead squat and compensating by taking your shoulders way farther back than they’re meant to go!

Through assessing your flexibility, joint by joint and thorough strength balance testing, we’re able to find specifically where the limitations are that could be causing the pain and be able to come up with the right plan to fix it!

What’s really cool is that I’m able to coach people in person and online! So if you have some pain you’re dealing with, let me know! I’d love to help you get rid of it if I’m able to!

This is Alex. We’ve been working together twice a week, for about 7 weeks now.

He was experiencing shoulder pain in overhead positions on his right shoulder.

His flexibility looked pretty good, so we did some strength testing to see if there were any imbalances.

One of the major imbalances we found was on his single arm high pull, he was able to get 8 reps on his left arm and only 4 reps on his right.
On top of that, he could barely get his elbow shoulder height on his right side. (That’s the second picture on this post).

7 weeks later, after some specific strength work, he went from 4 reps to 11 reps (with the same weight). Plus he was able to get his elbow well above shoulder height (that’s the first picture on this post).

What’s even better than all of that though, is he hasn’t been noticing any shoulder pain lately either!!

It’s always a pleasure getting to work with people that are willing to put in the work and watch them reap the rewards!
