Says he does a lot of yoga now. Out of all bodybuilders I'm probably the biggest fan of Dorian myself. The guy is down to earth and tells it like it needs to be told. He's like a guy who does his thing, makes money, but doesn't let money ruin him. He's just humble
Sorry, I was referring to HGH. I will begin HCG in the next few weeks
Yea I've seen a bunch of London reels on him. All good stuff. The guy was just all business and didn't do it for anyone but himself
Your right, getting old sucks but on the upside you are wise enough now to listen to your body, when you are young you tend not to - then its INJURY TIME!
I occasionally do a yoga class and the results are incredible. It's made me stronger in the weight room, you develop a new pain threshold and push weights harder and for more reps.
Yoga really helps a lot. My sleep is always better when I do it regularly, my flexibility is better, my mind is relaxed also. But you'll really see the benefit from doing it and then weight training. Your range of motion improves and the new pain threshold you can push to is beyond ridiculous. I'm talking stuff I used to fail at 15 reps with i was taking into the 20's
This. Im only speculating your time in the service did its damage. I can relate.I can only do so much. I have to pick squats or Deadlift and I can only do them every other week.
If I do it too consistently my back and hip pain immobilize me for about a week.
I remember not even that long ago I could hit 2 squat sessions a week and work legs 3 times in a week
Glad to hear you're feeling great and your recovery time has improved! Don't push too hard just yet.
One thing I picked up from watching John Meadows is the banded hyperextensions. Those are highly effective also
I found high rep work is what causes my nerves to inflame again and cause that dead lower back feeling with helpless pain that just makes you want to wish for a bullet. I can with stand 5 heavy reps. 3 is more ideal. 20 rep range im asking for a hospital visit. With all the damn problems ive had and all the help i seeked the front squat is what had the BIGGEST influence on rehabilitating it. Why? I figure the form of sitting almost completely upright in the FS is what helped me get back to fighting form. YOU CANNOT FS BENT AT THE WAIST. Like the BS forces you too. Healthier on the back.
Deadlifts can definitely mess up my recovery time!!! The next day I feel like I've been hit by a truck!!! Also, there have been a lot of top bodybuilders who don't do them or if they do it's extremely light , so that's proof right there that you can build a monstrous back without killing yourself on deadsI found high rep work is what causes my nerves to inflame again and cause that dead lower back feeling with helpless pain that just makes you want to wish for a bullet.

The deadlift can be replaced man. We know deadlifts build a strong posterior chain. So lets break it down. Traps can be built with rack pulls. Which are done safely above the floor lvl. Where there is minimal lower back strain. Hamstrings can be built with high rep romanians and stiff legged deads and curls. Glutes can be built thru squats and kickbacks and a host of other compound movements. So if your forced to choose health over ego. Drop the deadlifts without question. I would bet if i gave you a back shot of mine including the entire posterior chain in the picture you would guess im a deadlifter
Except im not. Anymore.
Ive even been able to rebuild my back to the point of doing bent barbell rows with badass form. Approaching the vaunted 405 for reps.
I wouldnt have been able to do that had i still embraced the iron dogma of "deadlifts or die" .
Save your back man.
The posterior chain is overlapped by many upper back and lower body exercises. Getting direct stimulation from pushing and pulling movements. Its not that deads are terrible but goddam they fuck alot of ppl up! Unless its a competitive lift for you in a PL meet i propose, why do them? And that totally sucks cuz i was sold hook line and sinker with deads all my early yrs. Ride or die ya know? Till you experience that pain. Then it effects your training. Then you gotta make a change.
