Joseph Amburgey Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I squat down whenever I can. Other than that I need to bend over at the waist do something for a few seconds, stand back up move over a few feet and do it again. Squatting down changes the angle I can get to what I am working on and slows things down too much. As well getting on my knees would be far to slow. Some days I have to do this 100s of times a day. Are there any supplementary exercises, or stretches that I could do to condition or prehab for this? Before this I was effectively doing jefferson curls with 100lbs without problems. I've since stopped doing them at all. One thing I am going to try and consciously do is pull myself down with my hip flexors since this should stabilize my back a little more. However I don't think this will be enough to completely beat the repetitiveness of it. I ordered this to help loosen things up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KK0AHS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi Joseph, when pain occurs there is always a reason usually functional overloading. suggestions should be specifically for your case but from behind a monitor, nobody can assist your situation. In case of pain, i always discourage people from asking advice on the web because if someone not qualified gives you a bad suggestion you can make the situation worse.

Coach Sommer Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi Joseph, No, I don’t believe there are any additional supplemental stretches or exercises you can do to alleviate this issue. From your brief synopsis it appears that you prepared as best you could; this is simply however a situation of an unavoidable work related massive increase in volume. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Sekulic Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Joseph, Last summer I worked like construction worker for a few months, and had to lift heavy stuff from all kind of positions, all day long, with rounded back...back than I was already doing Jefferson curls regularly in my training (twice a week), and even the load was less than loads I worked with, I had 0 lower or upper back pain... Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
