Got 200 on squat for 6 reps for the first time the other day. I know that isn’t a lot compared to most people’s, but I was bekow 135 in December so I’m pretty pumped about that.
Any tips for lower back pain on OHP or OHP variations?
I'm seeing some conflicting articles, some suggest core issues, others suggest lack of thoracic spine/shoulder mobility and hyperextension.
From what I see, it seems like I am hyperextending. So how would I get rid of that?
Thought I'd ask the group here.
Most often it's exactly what you found: shifting to make up for core weakness or lack of mobility. Go lighter and force yourself to stay rigid. Go slow, even extra slow, to make your reps longer and harder. The extended time under tension and effort to stabilize the weights will do wonders for overall strength.
I have been doing Athlean X's 22 day transverse abs challenge and have REALLY noticed its helped my posture and lower back. I would normally get all hunchy and a sore back if sitting in a chair for a while. Its carried over to many of my gym exercices like OHP, even starting to deadlift again a bit.Any tips for lower back pain on OHP or OHP variations?

Great progress on the squat. I wouldn't care at the number, there are a TON of people at the Y I go to that never train legs, they're easy to pick out because they always wear a muscle shirt and joggersGot 200 on squat for 6 reps for the first time the other day.
