Hopefully with no lumbar flexion.

I follow the way that Dr. Stuart McGill recommends. Just lifting the head straight up as if you're raising your head just off a scale, so really a modified lumbar crunch.  I also do his stir the pot ab exercise.

I also at the end of the workout try to hold a plank as long as I can.

@jsgolfer exercise routine that incorpoates Dr McGill exercises? I read Low Back Disorders and it basically is anatomy, safety, and rehab.

I understand that his other book Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance has more exercises for keeping the back healthy.

I do not have a bad back and am interested in this so I will not.

Went to the sports doctor today. Did all the mobility test and had an X-ray of the hips. Nothing wrong structurally with the hips. No sports hernia, not muscle tears. Basically I have tendinitis of the hip. The doctor tried to stretch my quad and he couldn't bring my heel to my butt. Since I have tight quads it is pulling on my hip flexors and the tendons at my hip.

My workouts from now on will be a lot of stretching and strengthening of the quad, hamstrings and hip area.

I will not being doing Kettlebell swings with out an instructor. I was too naive to think I could learn the form with out proper instruction and hurt my back to being with. Then that lead to my hips acting up.

Back to gaining more functional strength and keeping things in good mobility. Pilate's and Yoga here I come!

Luckily tendinitis is very treatable. I was worried it something like a sports hernia or labrum tear.

On a side note, seeing an X-rat of the hips is kinda cool.

    • Like Chet, count me in for Saturday at Reserve Run. I won't be doing Sunday at Cranberry.
    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Day 2: Speed training session
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
