doesnt your sciatica flare up with squats/deads? Or is one of those things that come out of nowhere?

[Manuel73]

here's a good excercise that helped me a lot bro:

press up for back pain

http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=2&gl=es

reverse hyperextensions! ( this is a mandatory move for me bud and has helped my LB in a way i couldn't believe possible !!)

decompresses the spine and has no vertical compression on the spine at all. This simple movement allows for dynamic strength development in the concentric phase, while serving as a rehabilitation mechanism in the eccentric phase by gently stretching and depressurizing the spine and creating, in essence, an internal pumping mechanism, filling the spinal column with spinal fluid and the low back muscles with blood .Anyone who has injured their back knows that the pressure needs to be relieved and circulation restored to the injured area in order to rehabilitate. this can be used 3 to 4 times a week for therapeutic work

i have others excercises but i have to find them first .....i hope you give this two a try, they have helped my LB to come back once again

it did originally...now if i keep my squats under 225, i can manage. i haven't attempted deads since it became a problem though. i'll be trying them again on friday to see how it is. hopefully it's healed up because it's felt good for a bit now.

1 month progress pic




cleaned up my diet. it wasn't bad before but made it a little better

[twinposedown]

you got some muscle memory going on or something? Looks like -fat +muscle which is awesome

[FiLL]

You can allready see a pretty significant difference Brad, good work bro

[iKermit]

thanks guys....i think it must be muscle memory and hard work recently. i was off for about 3 months and now that my strength is coming back, my body is responding too. glad to see that

the April 25 pic is about a month back after the 3 month hiatus.

okay...just back from tennis...
my timing is still a little off but my strokes felt pretty good. my cardio is my weak spot for now.
i found out that my first match is tomorrow night at 8:30. i'm definitely not in tournament condition but i'll do my best.
i was originally gonna try deads again tomorrow on back day but i've decided against it. i don't want anything to happen hours before the tournament. i'll start them up again next week.
tonight is chest/tris. i'm not sure how strong i'll be as i can already feel my fatigue in my shoulder. we'll see how it goes...

Notes:
Got to the gym after being awake for 22 hours. Tennis earlier really took it's toll. My strength was okay but my stamina was nowhere to be found. I should have skipped tonight's workout.

[iKermit]

Gonna skip back/bis tomorrow as I need my rest for the weekend tournament.

[SFriday425]

Oh, and I tried to rep you for the avi earlier but I "...must spread some reputation....".

i have my second tennis match at noon and then my third at 5. i lost my first in a tiebreaker. i'm in nowhere near the shape i should be for a tournament.
i'll be skipping my back/bis workout and then back to shoulders/traps on Monday.

i lost my first match in a tiebreaker and went 1-1 today. looking back, i probably shouldn't have even signed up. with my injuries, i've only been able to get out about 3 times in the last 4 months. that didn't put me in tournament shape . normally i'm out 4-5 times a week. hopefully i'll get into the next one better prepared.
