Decompress Your Spine

<!-- react-text: 46 -->Decompress Often: After finishing a workout where the low back is hit hard (rows, deadlifts, etc.) or a workout where the spine is compressed (squats, leg presses), hang from a pull-up bar. This takes pressure off the spine and stretches the surrounding muscles at the same time. Feels good too.<!-- /react-text -->

<!-- react-text: 49 -->Balance Your Workout: Be mindful of how much compression you put your spine through each workout. The cumulative amount can come back to haunt you, even if your back is healthy. Exercises that create upward forces on the spine instead of downward forces should be included in your workout. Here are some good examples of movements that can still provide an appreciable load for hypertrophy or strength gains: • Parallel Bar Dip • Pull-Up or Chin-Up • Lat Pulldown<!-- /react-text -->

At my age, I often feel pretty compressed after heavy squats or deadlifts. I always try to make sure I stretch out or hang for a bit to let my spine decompress. I always pay for it with some back pain if I don't.

Has anyone ever tired the neck decompression device that Joe Rogan is always talking about?

My L4, L5 and S1 are all fused together so I don't bend anymore. I try to decompress all the time.
