GMs & reverse hypers for back pain?

Reverse-hypers will.
Also a wrestler's bridge: Lie face up on a mat and bridge up, balancing between the top of your head and your two feet. Hold for as long as comfortable.

Need to heal and not be aggrevated. Leave it alone.MsBeverlyHills said:jsut curious since my lower back is still healing from very heavy deadlifting last month that messed it up. Will these lifts help my back feel better or make it worse?

I strained that area once and swore to never do that again.

A wrestler bridge will not help a lumbar spine injury. The compressive forces from the spinal extension will likely make her worse off. If she was to do any extension work, the best would be to stick to cobra pushups.
Good mornings are a no-no for someone with a back injury. Reverse hypers are great, either on the machine or swiss ball.

Reverse hypers, glute ham raises, 45 degree raise, low or no weight, definately run away from good mornings and not that you do but stay away from partial deadlifts for a good while.

Try holding one for 90 seconds and then tell me how your back feels. The bridge relieves pressure along your entire back and spinal column and stretches all the muscle and ligaments that got torqued.
Also good for building up your neck.

I've done them, and with my three bulging discs, they certainly don't feel good.
Have you ever had a lumbar spine injury?
Show me some evidence to suggest anything like the bridge alleviating pressure throughout the back.
"stretches all the muscle and ligaments that got torqued" - Whaaat?

My backs feels like I've been doing yoga for half an hour.
Sorry if the terminology in my reply isn't specific enough for you. It's true I'm not a medical doctor and haven't amassed a body of research.
This type of stress is common in weightlifting as I'm sure you know. I'm assuming we're talking about nothing here that requires medical attention, otherwise I'm sure Ms. Hills wouldn't be asking us. For active recovery, a bridge can work well. Obviously you have a pre-existing medical condition that doesn't allow you to do certain things. For me, it also works well post-workout to release accumulated stress.

If that's the case, I stand corrected.
It's something I do out of personal experience and have found useful. Perhaps what works for me doesn't translate well to others.
