Shouldn't your glutes be sore from deadlifts anyways? Deadlifts primarily hit your glutes and hamstrings...unless I'm wrong.

The whole posterior side of your body could get sore from Deadlifts, but not your "area of the asshole" as he put it

Sounds like maybe he came close to a rectal prolapse (google it I dare you) :heckno:

See thats one thing with squats and deadlifts.. sometimes youre sore, and youre not sure if youre sore for the right reasons, or if you hurt yourself
eg : my area around my lumbar bone was hurting, was worried i hurt myself for a sec.

All the more reason to do them =)

oh, and i feel you guys... my old jeans just dont fit the same :okay::fullofwin:

paused squats... :sweetjesus:

Sore lumbar is usually OK. Sore spine, not so much

sore spine?

:heckno:

Yes that would indicated a herniated or bulging disc. Believe it or not, a LOT if not MOST lifters have at least a little bit herniated or at least bulging in some discs. Especially if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer and the rest in the weight room... Yeah sounds like me :heckno:

All that chair time probably also explains my weak hips which is why my squat is lower than my bench :okay:

That's why I have started a core routine, I do it at the end of my warmup. Strong core = safe (even if it means using a swiss ball like a faggot)

Is your lower back supposed to be sore too? Or just back in general (After performing conventional deadlifts)
... Or am I just doing them wrong :heckno:

Sore is OK,

I do some slow stretches, including plank holding for a bit, really give it a slow and nice stretch. I feel great afterwards, soreness not so evident.

i think i broke my ass bone. fell hard playing shinny hockey last nite. couldnt deadlift tonite. fuuuaaa. brb waiting for evolution to out grow the tailbone.

Try these, they activate the lats and help your core

Phil Heath is in Vancouver signing autographs tomorrow. Wish I was home :(

switched all my shoulder flys (front, lateral, rear) to doing them on this machine. absolutely fantastic piece of machinery. unlike alot of cable machines, its absolutely linear the whole way, and has no momentum if you're pulling fast. completely linear force the whole way thru the range of motion when using cables instead of free weights too.

i wish their big cable dual cross over station was life fitness too but its a paramount. still pretty nice tho.

nice thing about the Y is they are always pouring money into real high end stuff. life fitness and hammer strength.

They stay in very well and super durable, snagged em on barbells many times and still perfect, cord is good quality I even got a tear in one section of the cord and theyre still working perfectly. Get them! Btw tear was my stupidity

Did facepulls for rear delts today, holy does that exercise work them hard.

Hit my nose a few times because I was too in the zone :pokerface:

How are you doing them? I think it's great to do an external rotation at the end of the movement, so the attachment goes above your head, not into your face

Like this

I set it a bit higher

like this and went wide at the contraction, slower tempo than this

^dat fella has a nice back nohomes

I don't think so, I'm hoping it's just me exerting my glutes too much...
it happens during my rest, but goes away when I go back to lifting

and once i pressed enter on google search, i had to switch tabs, f u skinny I thought there would be pictures.

Is it normal to have your lower back sore as shit after heavy deadlifts? like you feel like an old man and can barely bend over to pick something up

could be DOMS...
