In my 40's now & have zero low back problems, I can squat, deadlift, whatever I want. I feel great now. Here are the things that got me there:
1) A good chiropractor that got my back aligned properly (also leveled my hips & I no longer need a heel lift in one shoe)
2) I do daily traction therapy
3) I do lots of lower back conditioning work, glut-ham raises, reverse hypers (my favorite), & lots of Ab work as well.
I know this is an old post but I would love to find a good used Westside B'bell or Rogue reverse hyperextension machine. I had access to one for about 8 months when I tore the lower portion of one of my spinal erectors and it was a huge blessing.
The reverse hyper machine are f-in awesome at strengthening and providing a nice even stretch of of the posterior.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
