With the number of articles you have written for that site I can only assume that they enjoy trolling you with their choice of pictures. Only explanation for how at odds the pic selection is with the...

Dr. McGill says they're bad and done enough will lead to herniation. Almost no benefit in putting the spine in a state of flexion repeatedly. Virtually no carryover to athletic performance. Plenty of...

Incredible story. Congratulations, Brian.

You seriously have to wait 2-3 months to get an MRI?

Definitely. And probably don't even need an expensive MRI to confirm an injury that is discogenic.

Crazy talk.

I joined a local affiliate for a month. I pretty much hated it. And not because it was hard but because it seemed like I was surrounded by a bunch of fakes, people who proclaimed to be experts at...

L5-S1 disc hernation. I am not saying their experience is invalid. I am actually incredibly jealous of people who have had success training through their injuries. If I come across as an ass then I...

It would be useful to know what the mechanism of injury was that caused the L4-L5 herniation for the people who have seen success from squatting/deadlifting. If squatting and/or deadlifting was the...

Well I attempted 225 my 3rd time deadlifting, so it was probably a week into it. I was an idiot and had no clue how to pull. I should have know better. I do think the back was already compromised...

I guess so eh? Don't know what to tell you except that this is a true story, and I find it really hard to believe that with all the various populations you have trained, from young to old, you have...

My experience doing this program is that it is actually very easy to get injured, especially if you are not supervised by a good coach. I am permanently injured from attempting to pull 225lbs...

Glad you mentioned this. How does a doc determine which is the case? MRI? I still have not taken the Prednisone. I have been doing Mackenzie-type excerises, walks on the stairmaster and taking advil...

Saw a sports doc today for low back disc injury/pain/irritation. He wants to put me on a 11-day Predisone taper. He said it should significantly reduce inflammation near the nerve root. I believe you...

lol

What's up with that?

Just made me laugh out loud at work.

My understanding is that constantly snapping/popping/creaky knees is a good sign that the knees are inflamed. I am 31 yrs old and have the same problem. I find it very hard to believe that people who...

Maybe the best lecture I've ever heard on the subject. Glad Sully found your work, Rip.

Going to get my testosterone levels checked now thanks to this thread
