Lu Raises Power lifting and strength sports often get lost in a range of defined movements, that make you very strong in very specific planes, but rip for injury in almost every other plan. Like many power lifters, at times I was proud that my hands wouldn't go over my head, and that my three time weekly benching had made me so tight I couldn't swim (I was never very bright).
Walking Lunges There is literally no exercise I hate more than walking lunges. Like most people reading this, I work on a computer most of the day and train during the evenings (and I sleep in the fetal position). This means for 24 hours a day, my hip flexors are not stretch or moved. Hip flexor stretching never seemed to work, but walking lunges seem to open up. Its one of those 'I'll feel better later' but it just feels awkward.
Pushups (full scap) Here's Brian after a set of banded pushups. Its sounds so basic, but pushups (full range - chest touching the floor to shoulders all the way forward) are such good bang for your buck.
SSB Squats For some bizarre reason, in my head, high bars were far superior, and SSB was for the lazy. You then realise that SSB is far less technically taxing, and you can actually work on building muscle.
Side Plank Nobody is saying you have to do a zillion sets of abs, but doing side planks to the extent you are even stevens is a good idea. Almost everyone we've got to test this has one side way stronger than the other, and when they do the weaker side first to even it out, has less back pain.
Again, this sounds dumb, but being able to walk for 30 minutes without a lower back pump is a good idea (ignore this if you have actual cardio). Audio books will change your life to get this done. David Goggins audio book was so good, I once walked 12km (that is a lot for a power lifter). A walk on the days you don't train is ideal, its active recovery, and if you haven't walked for 30-45 recently, you will be surprised how annoying it is.
