Hey man I don't comment on videos often but this video changed my life and I'm almost virtually pain free in my lower back. I compete in Olympic lifting and ever since my squats got heavier and my training got more intensive I was noticing lots of lower back pain that felt "deep". I was unaware of S.I. joint pain so went to 2 different chiropractors and got mis diagnosed both times. The first time I got told I strained ligaments in my lower back, so they had me take almost a month of lifting (no squats, deads, or spinal flexion). The 2nd time I got told it had to do with my IT bands and my hips being tight, which was almost there. It wasn't until I came across this video that everything clicked, this was my pain. I quickly went out, and bought two MLB baseballs and a roll of hockey tape. This routine is painful, and I find it very hard to lift both legs simultaneously but every day I make progress. Like this so Omar can see it! You changed my life man thank you!

Filmed another entire series for you guys featuring Jake Noel, a rehab specialist who works with Reactive Training Systems (Mike Tuchscherer). He's helped treat a who's who when it comes to powerlifters (notably some of the people you probably saw at the USAPL Nationals recently). This entire series will be back working around back issues, something everyone has been requesting from me after I opened up about my issues. This is the first part of what I do to get my SI functioning properly again. It was awesome filming this content with Jake, I can tell you he is the real deal. If you are excited for this series, like the video and leave a comment on what you want to see next! Always trying to bring you guys useful content.

Keep the good information coming, this is why we all keep coming back

Thank you so much man, in these past weeks i started noticing some tension in this exact same area! This video really comes in time of needs, you're both practically superheroes

1:45 finishing a deadlift set after the headphones fell off is as badass as it gets

Deffo agree on the prehab bit... rather than searching for a cure when your injured. Solid Vid Again bro

Jake Noel is super smart, just the way he talks and how intense his face looks when he's talking about his craft you can tell, quite an awesome dude. Great video Omar, if I ever need fixing or help I ALWAYS come to your videos.

Omar Ass-muff....... you are the man!!! Trying this out is first time I gave had low back pain relief in months.

I've been doing this for a couple days and it's definitely been helping. Thanks Omar and Jake.

This is great! Also have a similar history of SI issues, so all of your videos on this stuff have been super helpful!!

Thanks Homer Surfclam! Experienced some minor pain in my SI Joint area, and these really help.

dude, this is Exactly the spot that gives me regular grief, thanks for the pointers!

Love your videos with Jake man. Always informative.

I can't wait to try this. I haven't deadlifted or done any rows in about a year because of my lower back. I've spent a lot of time in chiropractors and massage therapists but the relief is only temporary. Thanks for the video!

Dealing with and rehabbing Quadricep or Patellar Tendonitis !!! So many people seem to have this and there's conflicting practices for rehab and treatment but there's an abundance of info from a few years ago and not alot in last 2years. Great vid omar.

Omar this is pure gold , thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! there isn't much quality info on this...and I have been struggling for months with it, so thank you!

Thanks for this Omar! I was in a car accident over a year ago, and have been experience low back pain ever since. I have tried a lot of things, but I will be giving this a go for sure.

I have had major hip and back pain. I have added this into my rehab exercises and wow what a difference. Thank you. I am actually more upright now then I have been in months.

More of this please. Been suffering from this exact issue for far too long and cant seem to fix it. MORE!!! OMAR!! PRRREEEASE CALF LORD

Great stuff Omar love the content coming out!

Great stuff. Helped relieve pain from my deadlift misadventure.

Great video man! As always you are very informative.

This type of videos are great Omar I hope you don't stop doing them

Wow exactly what I needed! thank you gentlemen.

WOW!! This was exactly what i needed. Thank you very much Omar for this ips. really been working with some terapeuts and they all keep talking bullshit with no answer. Will try this imediately. Keep up with great work!

omar be saving bros from back injuries, DAS IT MANEEEE

Having trouble with my back lately, so i definitely approve of this kind of videos

This dude is amazing, respect.

Nice vid bro. I've been having pain around the SI and this is really what I've been looking for. Please do another video on neck and shoulder pained also. Cheers.

This video just saved my back. I have been having back issues for a while and after deadlifting 2 weeks ago I did something that just completely messed it up. I was in constant pain and everytime I stood up from sitting down it just got worse and was in terrible pain. Couldn't put my socks on and my hamstrings have been crazy freaking tight. I saw this video last night and today I did everything and haven't felt this good in a while. Thanks Omar for making these videos and I am really excited for the rest of the videos!

Works great! Thank you. I've found certain rotational lifts to be good too. Jefferson DL for example. And walking/hiking seems to help a bit.

This helped so much, thanks Omar

Great video, felt great after, thanks Omar!

I'm glad this dude so calm, last video with him, he seemed very nervous.

Omar slayin it with the stash

i have Si joint pain since last week your timing couldnt be better, i'm trying those at my gym tonight thank you so much !! :)

Thank you so much for this info!!! I've been dealing with my SI joint popping out every so often. I'll go to a chiro to get it reset but it doesn't always work or it makes the pain worse! Then I just would rather live with the pain than go back to the chiro. Stretching gives a little bit of relief. Going to get myself a couple of basebalsl and make a peanut. Can't wait to feel no pain!

Very good. The trunk rotation is awesome. If you breathe out as the rotation terminates this relaxes the area and frees it up even more :)

Very useful don't tend to feel pain in lower back but thought I'd give it a go and felt a lot better

This was great, Omar!

Jake is the effing man...this routine has REALLY helped me out with my lower back pain

I would love to see something on ankle mobility. Also tips on releasing the muscles in the upper back like the erectors along the spin and along the bottom of the scapula and the traps.

this video helped sooo much!! thank you!

After trying the "peanut" out. I have to admit I'm gonna subscribe and I'm looking forward to the next video in this series. Very helpful stuff. Dealing with the pain is not fun, and having watched this and tried the techniques have definitely put hope into putting this back pain to rest! Looking forward to the other videos!

Love the video man, I've a funky click in my right hip joint with the femur when I squat, run, cycle, or work out abs (crunches and leg raises especially) sometimes. Hasn't happened recently with the squat but while doing abs it kills to the point I can only really plank, it's when my leg get between 45 degrees from straight and right angle.

This really helped out my back. Thanks!

Thanks so much Omar

This video helped me a lot! Thank you!

Seriously thank you Omar

This is gold for me... injured my back a while back and my physio wasn't totally sure if it was herniated discs or the SI joint but he worked the pain out of my discs and I'm thinking this could be the cause of the remaining pain

Great content as always Omar, would be great if you did all the major joints people complain about; knees, shoulder etc

Excellent content.

Thanks for this, a video on shoulder rehab would be dope

Thanks bro! This will help me a lot!

omg i didn't have back pain but i tried this and felt how tight my lower back is!! helpful!

You should do a video on spondolysthesis, and how to lift around it. Its actually extremely common

Quality video!

damn i watched this video when it came out and i should've listened to jake right away. Im fairly certain its my SI joint fucking me up recently especially on the left side so thank you so much, the tips I've been doing haven't been working so I'm gonna give this a go.

Awesome vid Omar! I'd like for you guys to do a vid on the QL and how to release them. Also how to correct imbalances in the QLs. I feel like my left QL is tight and I just cannot get it to release. Tried almost everything.

Great video, thanks for sharing!!!

+OmarIsuf THANK YOU. SO. EFFIN. MUCH. I've been struggling with my back for ages to the point that my chiropractor told I should lean towards giving up powerlifting/bodybuilding. My lower back would get extremely jammed up and tight as well as my thoracic disks slipping out (if that's how you say it). I found a solution for my thoracic disks (decompressing and stretching out the spine with certain yoga movements) but for the life of me could not find anything on how to alleviate tension and tightness in the lower back. Traditional foam rolling didn't help due to not digging in into the muscles properly. I just made a peanut from 2 tennis balls and tape, and spent 10 minutes digging them into my back just the way you guys showed in the video. At first it was extremely painful (the right type of painful, the foam rolling type), but after continuously doing it for around 10 mins, my lower back feels soooo good. There's almost no tightness or discomfort. This is going to help so much with my squats and sumo DLs. Oh, and btw, thanks to you, Matt, and David, I basically fixed my squat to the point that the form is PERFECT. I had to start from the bar and within a few months built up to 40 kg on the bar. Just thank you, so, much, for teaching us all of these things and helping become better athletes (and preventing us from snapping our shiz up). Keep up the awesome work, and again - THANK YOU SO MUCH! P.S. I know it's cheesy as f, but who cares, I'm not snapping my shiz up yo.

I've been trying to figure out a way to relieve the very same region of my back after a failed 360 muscle up that sent me crashing to the ground very bad. I'm so going to try these out. Thanks Omar! I love your stuff:)

This was really helpful thanks ! My SI hurts pretty bad whenever I do beltless squats (which is the way I want to do them)

Notification Gang Internet Explorer for life 💪💯

When sitting, hook your feet together and pull them against each other. My SI pops frequently when I do this. Not sure if anyone else does this, but I like it. Also I noticed Omar was using straps on that deadlift...I started using straps instead of mixed grip and it feels much better on my SI.

hey Omar thanks for this stuff my si pain aggravates oh bent-over row please do a tutorial on the hip position in a bent-over row

I don't sub to anyone besides a friend's channel. After having seen yet another highly informative video on Omar's channel, I finally decided to give a sub. It's great to see someone putting out so many videos in an attempt to really help others with their goals, instead of just motivation(which isn't a bad thing), while keeping things entertaining here and there. Thanks

keep up this sort of content! T spine mobility would be another good topic.

hey omar ive just tweeked my si joint too, worst part i remember seeing you do it and thinking to myself..hmmm wonder when its going to happen to me !!! was actually aware of hips issues with myself and was doing single leg landmine deads to try work imbalances..well it worked until i upped the weight then boom a pain i havent had before. anyway ill get into physio and look at it as the time to proper rebuild my hips and cant wait to lift !!!! good on you for finding your passion so young and excelling! peace from australia :)

This is really useful!

it would be awesome if you guys made a video about loosening up the back of the knee (popliteus). And showed some stretches/exercises to help recover from a strained tendon.

Thanks so much!

Ahhhh thanks for this!!!!

this is SSUUCHHH a helpful video!

thanks I'm going to try this!

Thank God I found this video because I injured mine two weeks ago and have been down every since

great help

Great video bro 💪🏻💪🏻 can show something about hamstrings.... every time I squat my right hamstring always feels like it's going to pop

Great video, hopefully it helps with my chronic muscular degenerative disease in my calves.

Holy shit this was really useful, exactly what I needed right now! Thank you Bromar

Omar do a playlist with all the rehab vids, pleaseee. And do you have a vid fixing broken shoulders?

Might have just put an end to my 3 month funk. Thank you guys 🙏

thanks a lot.

Thanks for this! I must have missed this when it was originally posted, and just saw it doing a search for si rehab. Funked up my SI last week (not as severe as some it seems, but enough) chiro that day and today. Said no one leg forward/side movements. Wondering if any of these stretches aggravated anything for you? (Guessing no or you wouldn't have made a video lol) want to get lower body moving and terrified to aggravate something and delay recovery. :/ having a hell of a time finding any helpful info on rehabbing and lifting.

wow that's a great video ive have issues with my back for such a long time and i feel like that might be the cause so THANKS! could you tell me what shoes you're wearing please :D

Omar the peanut is amazing!

Please do a video on lifting with scoliosis!

Nice videos

Great video Omar. How about disc herniation with sciatica? There's lots information about disc bulges, but no one mentions the case with sciatica down one/both of the legs.

Make a Video about APT / PPT and how to fix that. I really want to see how Jakes dealing with these issues.

Moooooore!

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 very very helpful!

great stuff, gave me some instant relief (my hips are especially stiff in the morning). would you recommend doing this daily or even twice a day?

Jake has some serious eyes.

my back healed yay

I love you Omar

I can't put into words how much this has helped me. I was in the gym and felt this pain squatting. I immediately stopped because I thought I had done some serious damage. 4 months later I still couldn't sqaut after multiple physio sessions, even picking up some light Dumbells hurt. I tried this out immediately and my pain had gone instantly! One question I have is how long do I continue doing this untill the pain stays away for good?

can you do a video about joint pain in knees and ankles and ways to rehab them.

yep
