Well um guys too late for me but I guess maybe don't do those exercises. Once your back gets injured it never gets uninjured and gets worse and worse.
Like you can still build muscle in safer ways. Injuring other areas like rotator cuff or knee isn't half as bad as injuring your back as all the nerves in the body go through there. I was a fun loving dude now all the fun is gone.. now like theres just lots of worry and pain and ugly future. Not worth it for some fucking muscle hehe.
