It is not as severe as the episode in October, but it is definitely bothersome. Other than these two times in the past two months, I cannot recall any instances of blowing out my back doing anything. I have been doing some research on ways to correct or at least assist in some type of recovery and fix. As I was browsing, I ran across this.

How can I convince a doctor that I would like to try this type of therapy under his/her supervision?

Has anyone tried this protocol before? Results? If so, how much would this cost monthly for prescription HGH and test?

It looks promising for people with chronic back problems!

And if anyone has any doubt, I am still pissing excellence even with this back shit!
You’re good RC. If anyone here doesn’t have DDD or DJD to some degree, I’d be shocked.

All of the above are amazing answers. God, I loved my inversion machine.

Keep your form/posture perfect in your lumbar spine. Dynamic movements like those kettle swings are probably a little risky in that respect. Squats will definitely compress the spine (less so with DL). Speaking of DL, try a hex bar, much easier to maintain flawless form.
