iamme Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 so on the nights i work my shoulders, when im back home and laying flat on my back, it kind of hurts my lower back and i usually have to sleep on my side/stomach a while. why is this? is it from arching my back while doing dumbell + arnold presses?

mursa Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 most probably its from arching your back.......try and maybe do lower weight so you don't become inclined to arch your back . Form is more important than weight !. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamme Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 no matter what weight, it just seems impossible to keep my back flat against the bench while doing dumbell militray presses maybe if i put the bench at a slight incline it might help...

mursa Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I don't have such problem with keeping my back straight , but in your case ..........try using the Nautilus military press machine , where it's easier for you to concentrate on proper form .

miamimonk Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Use a weight belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehunk Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Make sure that your lower back pain is really related to excercise, as it might be related to the type of work you do, or how you sit in general.As for excercise, use a spotter, a training-body if the weights are too heavy OR use machines if that makes you concentrate on the move.Either way, don't use lots of weights.Oh, and consult a physical therapist. Those guys are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamme Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 its definately from lifting. so instead of using the bench with the back that only goes half way up, i used one with that goes all the way to my neck, set it at a slight incline and made an effort to keep my back as flat as possible...definately made a difference.
