Wow Treil had a very informative post up in here. Thought some insight from an experienced therapist may be helpful

ok, i'll do that... my massuse puts a pillow under my knee area when i'm on my back. Does it matter where the pillow goes? under knee or calves... or just get a pillow somwhere down there?

Pillows under the knees, could even do 2 if you like.

Did you by chance see the t-nation article on "neanderthal no more" ? If so, what are your thoughts on that? (i'm sure i buthered the spelling, my firefox doesn't do it auto like at work sadly, i need to look into that, lol)[/B][/COLOR]

No I haven't I'll check it out. I think it's an overall stretching and strengthening and a muscle imbalance corrective program, if I recall right I'll check it out when I get some time....
I think any 1 program in itself is not ideal for everyone. Everyone has their own bodily imbalances. I think if you go to your chiro, or masseuse and ask them which muscles are overly tight which ones are weak (They should be able to tell you no problem). Write those down and what you do is make sure to do extra stretching on the tight and strengtheing on the weaker ones. Like I told Shadow in his log. He is dealing with rhomboid issues. Well usually most people feel the pain in the weakest link. So for instance I told him to stretch his Pecs (overy tight) and then go and do high rows to strengthen the rhomboids (weakest link, and antagonist to the pecs). Your case with back issues you could do ab strengthening followed by your back stretching.
Make a list of your muscles, then identify which ones are there antagonists, and you have your own work-out plan to fix your personal imbalances without going to a whole bodily plan. This gives you more time to do the things you like to do in the gym, while simultaneoulsy fixing your own issues.

As a Michigan fan, I can't decide who I should be rooting for USC or ND. I'm thinking ND since the Wolverines beat them up as badly as they did, won't allow them to leap frog Michigan. If USC wins, they would have to lose to UCLA next week to get knocked out of the NC game with Ohio State.

Dude....UM had their friggn chance....give it a rest..........OSU will stomp the living crap out of USC in 45 days......can't wait!

Of course But if there are some streches in there you think I could benefit from whenever you have a chance to check it out, let me know

I try to keep my abs tight all the time, helps with my posture & lower back. I think not training abs consistantly and building up my spinal erectors had something to do with the current issues.

I'm just doing decline crunches right now a couple times a week. My lower back hurts some times when on the decline at the bottom of the movement though.

Glutes and hamstrings are wicked tight... I do a bunch of streches for them to try and keep them loose. My hammys are still killing me from doing the box SLDL's damn those were rough (that was 4 days ago).... I don't have full strech ROM back yet because they're so dang tight and hurtin'.

Strech, Strech, Strech i guess, eh.
