Sign up for my free tools and newsletter at www.FatlossLifestyle.com The Stiff legged dead lift is considered by many to be the #1 exercise for hamstrings. I totally agree. It is a tough exercise to get the form correct. Watch this vid, and keep the weight light until you master this exercise. Remember to; Keep your chest open and blades back Keep lower back tight a flexed, not lose and rounded Keep your weight through your heels Keep your legs almost stiff, only put a slight flex in them if you feel a negative feeling behind the knee For advanced lifters perform exercise up on a block so you can go extra deep and get good stretch.

I work for a carpet business as an installer helper. The date of my injury was 12/2/2009, me and the guy I was working with had to move a piano with no straps or any sliders. Because our job requires us to move furniture, like a piano. We had to move it from a living room, to a dining room, then into a kitchen and that was the only place the piano would fit. Well we lifted it three times cause it was one heavy son of a gun and on the third time lifting it, I was hunched over the piano because i couldn’t grip right because of the doorway from the dining room to the kitchen was tight. As i lifted it into the kitchen I felt a very sharp and excruciating pain from my lower back and I went to the floor. I couldn’t get up quick, I was very slow getting to my knees and the pain was constant. On the same day, I went to workmans comp and the doctor there told me I strain my Lt SIJ on the left side of my lumbar. I had pain in the middle of my lower back and on the left side, I went to PT (physical therapy) and I received two shots of cortizone in my lower back in the months of December and January. Those shots didn’t help, then he decides to give me an MRI and x-ray, he claims there is nothing wrong and its just back spams and I need to ice/heat my back with skin protection. Well in the month of February the workmans comp doctor referred me to a metro spine and rehab doctor. He looks at the x-rays and MRI and says I have a bulge in my disk and I have arthritis.There I received two more shots of cortizone and the results were nothing, He tells me to go to a different PT and thats where I have been for about two months (March and April). Then he prescribes me the following medication: Nabumetone 500mg, Carisoprodol 350mg, Tramadol 50mg, and Oxaprozin 600mg. None of these work, I only take Tramadol when I go to sleep and the others I stopped taking due to the fact it made me drowzy and I didn’t like falling asleep. I continue to do home exercise and ice my back, I’m under restrictions of No repetitive bending, twisting, lifting, and No lifting loads exceeding 50 pounds. After my last visit which was on tuesday (5-25-2010) he tells me the MRI are negative and he doesn’t konw why I’m still hurting. Under those restrictions I can’t go back to working as a carpet installer and I have to look for another job, which I don’t know who is hiring. On Thursday I was curious about marijuana helping, So I decided to smoke a kush joint and it relieved my back pain and I could bend over without hurting and I can fall asleep more comfortable with it. Can anyone out there or whoever reads this, please give me feedback, because I’m coming more stressful and more depressed due to my back problem and I’m afraid I won’t be here much longer… thank you : – /


If you have lower back pain, this weeks exercise is for you. Watch as Jennifer Didonato shows us the importance of the “Deadlift”. The deadlift is a great exercise to strengthen lower back muscles, especially after sitting behind a computer all day.

I’ve had my tongue pierced for four years. In the last 6 months I’ve noticed that my front bottom row of teeth has shifted forward and now have a couple gaps behind them. You can’t see it when I smile or talk, but it still worries me that it’s going to get worse.

Do you think this is happening because of the tongue ring or something else? (I do not have wisdom teeth on the bottom so it’s not that.)

Anyone else had this happen to them?

I just had the worst Deadlift attempt ever, now my lower back hurts like hell, I can’t bend over or else the pain gets worse, my back can only stay up straight.

Question: How long is this going to take to heal? What are some ways to help in the healing process? Any way to minimize the horrible pain I’m going through?


This one is 225 lbs for 5 reps. I’m not seeing the same issue as I did with the 395 pound attempt, but correct me if I am wrong. Any other help is welcome.
