I'm suffering from the same thing. Also, I recommend getting a massage once in a while. It helps keep you loose. http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/fb.ashx?m=27850Wed, 22 Sep 2004 07:25:47 GMT I cant say this enough......stretch your hamstrings. Stretching you hams will help your upper and lower back. A few times a day will help. Stand with you feet shoulder length apart and with a slight bend in your knees, try to touch your feet. While you are doing so, bury your chin to your chest. This will target your upper back. http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/fb.ashx?m=27826Tue, 21 Sep 2004 16:25:47 GMT I injured my back 3 weeks ago. it was doin' deadlifts for the second week after starting them, i knew my form wasnt perfect yet and i was right. Too much weight and poor form has given me some lower back complications that i am too nervous to get checked out...hate this crap http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/fb.ashx?m=27813Tue, 21 Sep 2004 10:27:14 GMT
