Just trying to warn my fellow human beings, don't give yourself unnecessary body aches/pains like me  .
I've been building up lower back inflammation to the point where it's uncomfortable for me now to lean forward for an extended period of time while taking a shit, and now I've just strained my groin pretty bad by just transitioning between hip flexor stretches.
I've been doing doing 5x5/3x5 stronglifts for a while (used to do bro-splits) and I'd usually do a lower body workouts with squats + deadlifts, an upper body workout with bench press + Overhead presses, and another upper body workout with pullups/chin-ups + rows each about 2x per week. I would do the first set of three workouts three days in a row at about 90% ish of my PR's, and then the second set of three workouts at about 60-70% of PR's and just keep alternating with about a rest day or two between each 3 days. I also would add accessory lifts such as curls, lateral raises for shoulders, etc. for aesthetic reasons.
I'd say my strength and muscle mass have progressed pretty well but now REGRET NOT DOING any consistent stretching regimen post workout, any mid-section strengthening exercises (planks, leg raises, etc.), and any consistent cardio post workout or in between lifting sessions. Now my lower back has gotten excessively tight, and I've lost some mobility.
Point is,
don't skip them stretches, do light cardio in between sessions, take your de-loads seriously (back-off workouts), and btw don't down to much for long periods of time like I consistently do : ( .
Live well my fellow LPers

Yeah thank Cheesus I haven't torn anything, it's just depressing when I can barely do a TRX squat without the feeling of straining something. I did a 14 mile obstacle marathon (Spartan Race) a couple years back and I just want to be able to have the ability do reasonable well in one again with only 2-4 weeks preparation. Nowadays if I just go out running it bothers my lower back. |

You seem to miss the point, there's a difference between giving suggestions to help someone out vs criticizing people while giving nothing of value at all, your comments are like something you would expect from a youtube comment section debate or 4chan. I never claim to have the best or only answer to anything or be perfect, which is why I don't call people retarded in forums where people are trying to spread information. |

27, didn't play any sports seriously during childhood even though i was on the basketball team in middle school, cross country and tennis in high school, and then just dicked around with weights in late teens early twenties. I would say I probably have average genetics, grew up on the skinny side, was pretty fast but not strong at all. Then late highschool to college became bleh from being inactive and bad eating habits. |
