If exercising means you strain muscles to grow them, why does straining your back hurt it instead of making it stronger?
In: 489
Straining your back happens when you push it past its physical limit.
If you regularly exercise your back, correctly, you will increase this limit over time.
Most people however, fail to properly exercise their back, whether doing nothing or doing way too much.
Doing Good Mornings are a great way to build your back, light overhead presses, pull ups and Lawnmowers.
Treat your back right and it will stay strong for a long time. Know your limits and try to exercise it a couple times per week, it doesn’t take much.
