Yes, sir. Yeah. Alright so I'm here with Mike at CrossFit Excel and I noticed as he's lowering the bar through his positions for weight lifting he knows that he mentioned his back was starting to hurt. So you see he's standing up as he goes to lower below the knee.
Go ahead Mike. Okay, knee down there and then he lowers all the way down and he's spent just a few times. Go ahead and stand up now. But as he's doing that, as he's lowering down that position too below the knee.
his back is really starting to light up on And what was going on is he was starting to round a little bit through his back. So he's just not used to or not familiar with the appropriate movement patterns. He tends to round his back instead of using his lutes as his prime movers. Alright, easy fix.
You want to stay tight. Okay, you want to stay tight in the midline, core to extremity, really important. basic concept, everything's tightened here and then it goes out. on the want to make sure that he's tight here and then moves from there.
So as he goes all the way to the bottom, having all the way bottom and stop, now I'm going to kind of say, hey, get tight here. So he establishes that tight lumbar spine. All right. And then from there, as that stays tight, he raises up.
Good. He's still tight. And we're going to keep this tight here as he lowers back down. And you'll see that his glutes are the prime movements.
Everybody raise them up. and he's going to take a little bit of time to get it out of the way. move his body in one solid piece. Same thing, he's come back over, grabs the bar just like he was before, stands all the way up.
Again, for one or two, I'll help him out a little bit, give him a little touch. I'm not being handsy here, we're not being weird. Just a little, little, little appropriate set, little touch. And now that back is staying tight.
And he comes up, now we can see that back is tight. And he gives you-- There we go. Good. And up.
Back stand tight. And that back has the prime movers you can do it with the track into it.
