Article: Bodybuilding After Injuries

This is a good article. Didn't expect to this on AM. I too have lower. Ack injury. Protruding disc L4/L5/S1 and have adjusted my training routines but I thought I could always do more to adjust and tweak them so I feel safer. One thing I need to do more of is stretching and do more core work. This article has re ignited and motivated me to act and the need to do more. Thanks
 
Good article to bring awareness for all the serious lifters . I mean serious lifters cause stupidity rules everywhere you go!
 
I think even healthy lifters could take away some things from this article. Sadly, I don't think many will even read it. Such warmups would greatly benefit others and reduce the chance of injury or reinjury. I had a very mild injury to my hip flexor very recently that put me out for a couple of weeks, and now I have to do about 30 minutes of stretching (mostly hip and upper back stretching), as well as repeat my first squat warmup with 135, before moving on. But it all helps.
 
Good info. I usually follow a similar routine of warmup on treadmill, followed by various stretches, both static and active for better mobility in hip and shoulder areas as well as foam roller to work on IT bands, calves, tibialus, back etc. I've found that being consistent with the foam roller (going about 1" per second and holding 20-30 seconds when I hit tender area) has been the most beneficial in keeping my back in check. Focusing on IT bands/TFL, hip flexors and pirformis area has allowed me to lift with more confidence from foam roller - I prefer the high density roller (black color). I'll even hit the foam roller post workout at times and notice I tend to not be as soar the next day since it helps speed up recovery.
