Title: Lower back soreness from 2-leg bounds
Post by: Raptor on July 13, 2010, 03:04:51 pm

I did today a handful of sets of two-leg bounds (consecutive broad jumps) and I noticed my lower back was "full of blood" or had "the pump" while doing them... which makes me think I might be using the lower back as the primary hip extensor for some reason.

Any ideas? Is that normal (the feeling)?

The core also has to work really hard to keep stable during high impact activies like sprinting and bounding.

Might also be a problem with glute function.

Yeah steven-miller suggested contracting the abs more on TVS... so I probably have sucky abs... they are whack actually.
