“Bodybuilding Sins” That Cause Back Pain and Missed WorkoutsWritten by Steve Hefferon, CMT and Jesse Cannone, CFT
It’s one thing for someone who sits at a computer all day and never exercises to have back pain, but for a bodybuilder, someone who spends hours and hours each week pouring everything they’ve got into building muscle, it should be criminal! The reason we say this is because, if you are going to spend so much time, money, and energy trying to build “perfect body”, you have to make sure that you not only look good, but also feel good… We’ve identified what we call “Bodybuilding Sins” that lead to back pain, sciatic pain, and other injuries… read em and take action now if you are serious about bodybuilding and are fed up with your back pain. Because there is so much information to share with you, we’ve broken it down into a series of 5 articles, each covering a different component of how back pain affects bodybuilders. Here’s a breakdown of articles to look for: 1. Article #1 - Choosing The WRONG Exercises (below) 2. Article #2 - Training Variations for Pain Relief and Maximum Results 3. Article #3 - Targeted Stretching 4. Article #4 - Targeted Exercises 5. Article #5 - Rest, Recovery, and Injury Prevention Article #1 - Choosing WRONG Exercises Get ready, this is gonna hurt! The exercises most bodybuilders focus on most, are ones that cause most problems… hopefully, you’re different J But before we share with you what those exercise are, let’s talk real quickly about what bodybuilding is… The goal of bodybuilding isn’t to get as big as you can, or at least to us it isn’t and shouldn’t be, but to build a balanced body that is as strong as possible in every way. For example, while being freakishly big may get people’s attention, it serves you no purpose at all… while on other hand, what if you were not only big, but also extremely strong and powerful, lightning fast, flexible, and agile enough to kick ass if needed? So many bodybuilders build massive amounts of muscle yet are so unbelievably weak and inflexible… for example, we know a guy who can bench press over 350 lbs but can’t do a measly 50 push-ups! The point is, exercises you choose and how you perform them not only determine how big, strong, and flexible you are, but also affect how your body functions and whether or not you suffer from aches, pains, and injuries like back pain and sciatic pain. Ok, here they are… exercises that create most problems and are most likely to lead to back pain: 1. Bench Press 2. Leg Extension So, any of your favorites on this list? While there are others, these are two that cause most damage. There are several reasons why these exercises made our list of “worst bodybuilding exercises”. First, all of them target areas that already tend to get worked a lot in everyday life and often times are overdeveloped… and by focusing so much on these exercises you end up creating muscle imbalances, or worsening existing muscle imbalances, which pull your bones and joints out of their normal position…

Lithanol is a kidney stones teatment.If you’ve ever experienced kidney stones, or you are experiencing them for first time, you know how excruciating they can be. Perhaps you’re not sure if you’ve had them before but recall experiencing some mild or even serious discomfort during urination, a dull ache or sharp pain in your lower back, side or groin area. Maybe you’ve gone to bathroom and were shocked, even scared to see blood in your urine, especially when you’re in so much pain. What’s wrong? These are all common symptoms and signs of kidney stones, also known as renal stone disease. The US National Institute of Health estimates that 1 in 10 people develop kidney stones at some point in their life. Researchers at USNIH have found that those who live near large bodies of water (the Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, etc.) are more likely to develop kidney stones, as well as those who live in “soft” water areas (where water contains low levels of calcium, magnesium and other minerals). Also, people who come from a family with a history of renal stone disease are more likely to develop stones because certain genetic conditions that promote stone development can be inherited from parents. Kidney stones occur most often in people aged 30-45, though they can occur in men and women of all ages, and their frequency and possibility for occurrence decreases after 50. Certain types of stones are more common in men and other types of stones are more common in women. The agonizing pain of passing a kidney stone for a man has often been compared to pain of childbirth—ouch!
