low back pain ache houston texas united states

Low Back Pain, can be very debilitating. The effects of Low Back Pain in the USA are staggering!!

Pec Deck Machine

Sit with your back and butt flat against the machine. Adjust the handles so that they are just parallel with your outer chest. You will grab the handles with your arms almost straight but with a slight bend in the elbows. You will now proceed to squeeze your arms out and up in a circular fashion with your hands touching each other in the finishing position. The easiest way I have my clients remember this exercise is that the are hugging a big tree and you are just able to get your arms around it.

Hammer Incline Press

Sit with your back and butt flat against the machine. Adjust the seat so that the handles line up with your nipples or slightly above them. You will start with the handles at your chest and then you will push them up towards the ceiling in an arching fashion.

Flat Barbell Bench Press

Lay on the flat on the bench and have a spotter. Place your hands about shoulder width apart on the bar. Have your spotter help left the bar off of the platform to you. Now you should have the bar over top of your chest with your arms straight. Proceed to bend your elbows so that they are at about a 45-degree angle to your body. If you are flexible enough then you want to touch the bar at about your nipple level. If you are not flexible enough take the bar as close to your chest as you can.
