Dead hangs also are awesome for the shoulders. Opening joints and allowing synovial fluid to circulate is the trick! Good post!

I’m a Physical Therapist x31 years and have had back surgery. Love this video

Yes!ive been doing this for 10 years. I never have any pain and I work as a builder 12 hrs plus a day.

Been in bed straight to the chair due to a weak heart, had my surgery last week and this is gonna heal my back issues from sitting so long! Thank you, building back stronger each day💪❤️

This and I bought an inversion table .. 2 things that have almost eliminated my back pain.

simple, solid advice.

Great video and advice! “The Kaui Study” written by an orthopedic surgeon proves that traction therapy restores structural ailments in many cases. The surgeon in question saved 89 out of 94 patients from elective shoulder surgery by placing them on simple hanging protocols such as you have outlined. One trick I added to my pull-ups and decompression practices was placing myself in between dip bars (or any structure I could support a feet elevated, palms-down supported position) was to give a slight downward jerk movement which would click by lower back/hip connection junction back in to place. I’m 58 and still practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I’m twisted up in knots on the ground all the time, yet, these self administered therapeutic practices (along with kettlebell and flexibility training) have kept me orthopedically very sound..

I used to use the corner of the kitchen counters to do something similar. I'd get into position for dips then try and completely relax my core muscles allowing the weight of my legs to pull and stretch my lower back. I tore my lower back muscles twice. Once in college wrestling at 19yrs old then again at 23yrs old lifting something too heavy in a bent over extended position that compromised my back. I find keeping weight off and maintaining a healthy core strength significantly reduces lower back issues as well.

Yes! Been needing this. Thank you.

Yes sir, that's exactly what has nearly eliminated my lower back pain which has been with me since 2000, it has also helped to 100% eliminate a self induced shoulder injury from 2015 while over lowering a loaded bar during some sets of flat benching. As long as it is done consistently this exact exercise WILL help. I started this after watching some Steve Maxwell vids around 2015. I have never needed any Dr.'s nor chiropractors attention. Thanks for this upload & for your service sir. 🇺🇸

Works like a charm!

Very simple and effective!! Thanks for sharing 👍

Get on the pull down machine stack it with weights. Lock your legs into the padded lap bar. Pull the chin up bar down with as much weight as you can hold then relax your back muscles and wiggle back and forth. Do this often and it will fix your back. Found it out once because I continued to work out after opening my trans and t-top with my head in a crash

Great idea on how to make a pullup bar

I have a commercial chin up bar that fits in my doorway. You can buy them at WalMart. I do shoulder hangs about 10 times a day. Hanging from the chin up bar has not only cured my low back pain but has also cured my shoulder pain becausing doing shoulder hangs releases shoulder joint impingement.

Great advice, Sir!

This makes so much sense. Let gravity work to decompress the lower spine region. I was in the military so working out is apart of my everyday routine. Plus yard work on the weekends can put stress on my back. I will i vest in a weight belt and try these daily. Thank you for the awesome tip and for your service.

Thank You, Sir!

This seems like a great ideas. Thanks algorithm

Awesome! Easy to understand

Will try, thank you.

Oh man THANK YOU!!!!

Great video.

So good for your shoulders as well.

Try lowering background music, as it distracts from your message.

Thank you Sir! God bless!

Thank you Sir!

Great video

Great tip...

Good stuff. Thanks!!

Bless you!

I got my lower disk pinched. I was out like 4 to 6 months, but doing dead hangs like this helped rehydrate the jelly disk. It does work. Helps stretch out the spinal cord and keeps those disks hydrated.

Thanks for sharing!

Another thing that gives relief, is lying on your back, with knees facing the sky, and your heels close to your butt, with your head flat on the floor, take the palms of your hands as low on the legs as possible and slowly push your legs, building up your strength and hold for ten seconds, do this through out the day if you don't get a pop on the lower spine. Also not this is only good for the lower spine! But now I will look for a dive belt, and give this a try also 👍

Thanks for this; like millions of others, my lower back gives me grief. Can’t think of a better reason to do Chin ups.

Gracias from Texas 👍

Great video 👍..

That is excellent!

Thank you!!!

Thanks Brotha im going tp try that i operate heavy machinery all day and when i get off man my back is tight ill give it a shot.

Thank you sir

He's right. Also, another medicine, even as a stand alone exercise for curing back pain, is, "Back Bridges", do them as reps, and static holds as your last set if you want. Too advanced? Donna easier progression first: Bamboo Bridges, or Hip Thrusts while laying on the ground with feet flat on the floor of course.

Good video

I have two herniated discs in my lower back, was in excruciating pain for a long time, and was recommended for surgery a few times. Over the last year I've stopped doing anything that curves my lower back forward, like folding into a stretch to touch my toes, and whether stretching or what not always keep my lower back straight. I haven't had any issues in a year and it's the only thing I changed. Just in case it might help someone.

Cool, thanks.

It’s funny,came home from the gym and my back felt funny.15 minutes later stiffness sets in and then this video!!!! Thank god maybe relief

Thank you

I had a big lower back pain and it vanished after I started working out outside, doing pull ups and dips, it works wonders

Nice!

Thanks

I been suffering from lower hip and back pain for 13 years now I’m only 31. I’m a master stone mason been doing this type of work since my late teens. Went to a back specialist few months ago for x rays. Turns out my L4 in my spine got a pinch nerves and OMGosh the pain after a look day of work or even doing chores around the house is unbearable 😭😭😭😔. I got damage in my bones only a 40 -50 year old would have according to the X-ray and doctor. FYI I’m as fit as can bee I exercise 5 times a week. I eat healthy I believe. I love my fruits and vegetables I drink herb tea constantly but this back pain galeee. Ima try this out in immense hope of some back pain relief 🙏🏽

ty Sir

Thanks for this I'm a truck driver. 6'1 270lbs in ok shape but the long drives kill my lower back.

I concur...100%. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️

Ty

yeah youre right one should avoid pressure on cartilage as much as possible. the spine isnt made to push 180 kg 2 times a week for years through squats or deadlifts. or push 140 kg on the bench. it ruins your joints.

Reverse hyperextension is good, too

Spinal Decompression absolutely

I took 10 pounds put it on my belt I could feel the difference soon as my feet hit the floor. Thanks 🙏🏻🤙🇺🇸

As a vet also (Seabee), one thing that has helped tremendously is BJJ. Idk how but once I started all my back issues disappeared

Just hang in there man

Yaaas. Love this. I've always been inspired by the SEALs. Question. Where does one find the pre workout drink you were enjoying here?

Hello from Siberia, I have pain in my back, I hope this helps me

I hung a lot. It helps but definitely no cure all. Then I bought a reverse hyper machine. Traction plus strengthening in one exercise.

Im 43 turning 44 in July I look like I'm in my early 30's I'm in and always been in great shape however my back since turning 40 has just been kicking my ass,,,,, if I sit too long, pain, if I lay down too long, pajn,,, the only time I don't have back pain is when I remain super active minimally sit or laying down. I need to try these excersises for sure because my back pain also initiates my migraines a lot and that is a no go for me

Good tip. I used to sit on an old paddle board out there at Cardiff and fish for hours and hours. Made me shorter.

I has lower back pain back iin 2013. I started working out and emphasized back exrcises such as rows and pulll ups. My back pain disappeared!

Get on inversion table easy and decompress the spine 5 mibs a day works great

Dead lifting helped with my lower back pain, I think it is because if you are tall and heavy, a weak lower back is gonna start hurting. Just make sure you have the right technique which can lead to a worse situation. Can’t wait to get access to a gym once these green passes become invalid where I live.

Get an inversion table if you can’t do this! Just find the heavy duty kind with thick beams cause those skinny tubed ones will break your neck if they give out. I have an older Nordictrac one that I love.

When you hang, your hips tighten up, so the best way is to curl your legs like you are but let your tip toes touch the ground and drop your knees, you will get much more decompression.

I am gonna do this for my low back pain and see how IT goes

True

Yup. I would argue that for many that would make a difference on the first day!

I do so too. :)))

Great video. I herniated my disc July 2021. Didn’t start to feel it’s effects until Thanksgiving I couldn’t walk at all. Vegetable. Sitting in an Uber would feel like I was being stabbed through my spine vertically. No2 today, after doing core exercises and decompression like this one, I can walk much better now. I still feel pain though. And currently dealing with a sciatica flare up. Maybe even herniated a separate disc. When will it all end?!’

Max was here

I've had bad back pain for many years in the past. Since I started diving over 11 years ago I haven't had any back pain. Scuba diving must help prevent back pain.

I hang 3x day for as long as possible (like 25 secs), but also, deadlifts really helped.

2 things, inversion table, acupuncture, i have a terrible back and those 2 things make it livable

Well, my lower back pain is different. It hurts when I walk for long time, over 1h walk most of the time. When I sit down I feel relief. My spine is fine and I'm not obese

And you'll have biceps and lats to die for.

Dr.Sarno book called healing back pain... short read will change everything you thought you knew about back pain.

Can’t find that belt

Tension is the opposite of compression. Otherwise fantastic video

Yep I hang 2 minutes every morning and night and my back pain is gone

Can you use a ladder ,for example, to pull with your legs on the lower bar while you're hanging on the upper one?

Can someone please send me some links to this kind of belt along with the weights !! Thank you !

I'm 60 and I can crawl through bobwire with live ammo overhead if there was a pain pill on the other side but they only give them to young folks.

Please tell me how to fix my knees. Overuse injuries from an addiction to cycling are my daily pain. I’ve tried a lot of remedies and stretches. I tried (I really did) to stay off the bike.

Guys from Florida

I'm not strong enough to do a pull up, is it still beneficial to just hang for the time being?

Sitting is the new smoking; that's a good one.

Man, I thought I was the person with ribs that stick out like that.

I've always had a weak grip. Will this improve my grip strength?

What is your opinion on inversion tables for a woman who has little to zero grip strength with a herniated disc in the L1 T12 area (middle of the back) probably from sitting all day at work and not enough exercise, as well as whiplash to the neck from recent car wreck where another driver ran a red light and struck her car door at a 90 degree angle jerking her head from left to right

The only easy Day was yesterday.

Go upside down! Aerial yoga style.

Looks like Decker from A-team

It this exercise really working ?? , last week when I was completely hopeless I just hang up on my bar for one minute and pain stopped . How many rep's I need to make per day???
