>>21704I agree with most of this and this is a good training regimen for what you're targeting. I have to disagree on the yoga thing though. If part of your problem is chronic armoring and general tightness yoga can be helpful. I know you can just do indivual stretches for recovery, but doing them in a sequence that flows is more efficient time wise and just works better in my experience. I found using a logical progression/flow improves the effectiveness of the stretches themselves, and being able to enter a meditative state using the movements is extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.
I just think taking a more holistic approach is better than being so super against yoga as a whole just because it's full of hacks and grifters just like every single other thing on this planet that is even remotely popular. If you can get past the heavily promoted bullshit there are genuinely excellent practices and teachers out there.
I do agree that telling people to do just yoga for back pain is not nearly enough and it should be done in combination with a strength training regimen.
