I assume it's too late but if you have any dropouts I am available for testing. I'm already using APE but very interested in these two...plus you'd get a 45 yr old Army Soldiers perspective. 👍

Good stuff, I'll be following along. I'm about to start things up myself after being out for a year or so due to injury. By the way, I will be perfectly content if my after pic looks like your...

It's been awhile since I've been here but I figured it is time to get back at it. I always get a ton of inspiration from here. Now that I have hit the 40 year old mark, I have noticed I have to do...

Dave? Do you have any input?

Yes that is it to the T! Is that a specific type of injury? What have you done to progress and what kind of stretches?

I have a friend that I workout with and we have been doing Starting Strength and he must've just over did it. Now if he does any kind of squats, deadlifts or any lifting that engages his lower back...

What up Folks! Time to get back at SS. The Gym is calling me...I'll be around.

That thread is freakin' hilarious! I like that Mr. Rippetoe has a sense of humor. lol Some of those responses had me rolling on the floor, mainly Rippetoes first one...

Hey Farley, I went to the link you gave me the other day from Rippetoe, regarding the lower back injury. I took that to my Chiropractor and he pretty much agreed with everything Rippetoe said. He has...

They are smarter than dogs.

Sorry Rippetoe, love your lifting principals, but it sounds like you are a bit ignorant in this area...

Yeah, I opened it up the day you posted it than got side tracked. I will check it out today...thanks again!

Depends on what kind of intensity you are putting into your workouts. With me it's usually the opposite because I find myself training harder than I really should. Hence my lower back issue.

I don't think it's an age thing. It's not a nutrition thing either. My chiropractor is awesome but I don't think this is something he can fix since it's a soft tissue problem.

Right now I am...

Sorry to bring this up again but I don't feel like I really got a direct answer. I appreciate all the advice on stretching and strengthening the lower back. However, if I am squating or deadlifting...

Ditto on the journal. Also, write down your goals beforehand.

It sounds to me like you are overtraining on your squats and that's why you are not progressing. It's not always about going to failure every time...especially if you are following a program that...

My bad for bringing this up on the public forum and apologies to the others. I will take it up in PM next time...

So this is funny to me. Magnetix cries because I neg-rep him for being a troll...of course he turns around and neg-reps me. Then says I can talk when I get to his level. That's funny stuff. I'm twice...

No, I don't work for bb.com. I have ordered most of my multi's from them though for the quick shipping (obvious) and great customer service.

I agree wholeheartedly that I need to stretch my hammies and lower back. That is for sure. However, I don't see how I could possible continue with squats when even a small amount of weight will cause...
