Has anyone weightlifted before with pinched/bulged nerves? I have a pinched L5, and straight neck (no curve in my neck) and took a year off from the gym. This past weekend I went back to the gym and lifted, but I worry about it, like long term effects.
The chiropractor wasn't helpful about weightlifting, he was more into trying to get me to sign up for appointments. He did tell me to sit straight, don't slouch, do sleep on my back and get a better pillow though.
I don't do anything intense in the gym, just a full body workout twice a week with dumbbells only, that includes things like chest press, shoulder press, back rows, incline chest press, bicep curls and tricep extensions....then sauna.
Just curious if any of you have experience with this and what you did about it.
