Hurt my back doing burpees .

[Lucky86]

Well I am sure not the man I once was . I am 35 now and my younger brother took up boxing recently in his early 20s. Long story short he was training with me at my house and I tried to do 4 sets of 25 burpees like I was 18 again and hurt my back halfway through. Kept going cause I am still a man and ******.

I am just looking for some advice from the old boys around here how do you ease the pain?

That happened to me before.

Did you stretch out?

grab a foam roller and roll through your back (keep your core tight and spine secure and its safe) roll up and down your back and you should be fine.

Reason you hurt yourself I am assuming and pretty sure I am correct is when people get fatigue and dont have their form drilled down that is the first thing that they compromise to keep on pushing through but that is also the reason they get hurt.

My advice to all my clients when pushing to failure is to push till you can no longer perform the rep with proper form anymore and that is failure. Drop the weight and rack out more sets till form failure. If you cant drop set anymore or you dropped about 30% of your top set you are done. Call it a day.

I could see an older guy hurting his back if he did them for high reps. Especially if he just jumped into them after being inactive for a while.

What specifically hurts? Lower back? you may have pulled something. Back pain is harsh... What I would do for a lower back thing is wrap something around the waist that can give you some support... Like a big ace bandage. Time and aspirin are next... Ibuprofen for some... depends on the person.
