[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 395977, member: 546465"] Actually questions for weightlifters. I'm right handed and the left side of my chest is getting bigger than my right side. I notice when I do my chest workout When I do bench press with dumbells I feel the left side of my chest burning, but on my right side I feel the burn more towards my shoulder. SHould I attempt to keep the dumbell in my right hand further in (towards my chest)? My other question is I actually have a lower back injury. I didn't even get this injury from lifting weights. I got it from doing pushups. I was doing incline decline and flat pushups. I'd do 3 sets of each type after doing bench press and decline bench with weights. I do as many as I could and I only stopped once my strengh gave out. But while doing this the last like 2 reps my lower back flexed in towards the ground. Well basically this really jacked me. I went to the chiropractor about 2 weeks after it happened because it was still extremely tight and sore. I then went back a week later and he adjusted my back again. 2 days later it was feeling practically normal. Then I decided to pickup the recliner and move it over a little bit. My parents would have been pissed if I drug it because they feel that will jack a recliner. So when I did this I reinjurred it and it started to spasm. It's been about 2 weeks since the second injury. My back feels not perfect but okay. I've been lifting very light weight try and minimize strength loss. One thing I notice is after this injury my low back just feels weak. Whenever I carry or move anything that is slightly heavy my back feels like it wants to start spasming again. Any ideas? I'm thinking about doing situps, but I'm afraid they may make it worse. I want to do something to get my low back solid again so I can get back to lifting. [/QUOTE]
