Why Does My Back Hurt After My Workout?
There’s a number of reasons why your back may hurt after a workout specifically a back workout.
These are 3 common ones I DON’T cover in today’s video so if you want to learn more sneaky ways your current workout is wrecking your back be sure to watch it all the way through!
(ONE) Muscle Soreness:
After a back workout, it is common to experience muscle soreness. I think where people get confused is knowing the difference between good sore and bad soreness.
When you engage in intense or unfamiliar exercises, it can cause microscopic damage to the muscle fibers, leading to soreness and discomfort.
This is a normal response and is all apart of the process of building strength and improving your bodies resilience to life demands.
What you want to watch out for is long lasting soreness and pain.
(TWO) Poor Form Or Technique:
Using improper form or technique during back exercises can put unnecessary strain on the back muscles and surrounding structures.
This is especially true if you are dealing with a chronic low back pain situation.
These small microtraumas you put your sensitive back through will only increase the sensitivity and the pain response your brain is sending out.
On top of that poor form and technique can result in muscle imbalances, overloading certain areas, or placing excessive stress on the spine.
Over time, these factors can lead to the exact reason you’re dealing with pain today.
(THREE) Overexertion Or Overtraining:
Pushing yourself too hard during a back workout or overtraining without allowing sufficient rest and recovery can lead to back pain.
Overexertion can strain the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the back, causing discomfort and pain.
It is crucial to listen to your body, gradually increase the intensity of your workouts, and provide ample time for rest and recovery to avoid excessive stress on the back.
