One of the guys I train over did it with the smiths machine, doing squats is fine if they are done correctly!!!
But guys being guys like to be macho and show off, going from 40kg to 100kg to impress your friends is not a good idea.
Anyway enough moaning, my client has hurt his back lower L5 at the base of the spine, he's been to the doctors, medical centre, chiropractor and a sport injury deep massage expert. After 3 months he has made no real progress hasn't been back in the gym and is really suffering with his back.
Now to begin with I was really mad that my client went against my training program and started acting like a fool, but he has learnt his lesson. Back pain or any sports related injury is no fun.
I have just met up with my client after 4 months to start his training again, he has totally recovered thanks to using an inversion table !!! Never having suffered with back problems I have never had the need to try one.
The Inversion table used has been the Teeter Hang Ups F7000 developed by a fellow American called Roger Teeter, well established brand with a huge user group in the USA.
I actually went on the Teeter Inversion Table at a gym yesterday and did a full Inversion just to see how it felt, I feel more upright and feel more comfortable when driving.
We need to do a full review on this type of product as I'm sure it could help many people that suffer from back pain, lumber problems and general stiffness in the body. Watch this space.
