I've been using deadlifts specifically to work my lower back, is that wrong? I do them immediately after I work my abs, and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm not using much weight, 2x70lb dumbbells. Will that become a problem as I increase weight? My full circuit is dumbbell chest press x10 (140lbs, bench rows x10 (70lb each arm, dumbbell side bends x10 (70lb each arm, situps or leglifts to fatigue, and dumbbell deadlifts (140lbs) x10. I do three sets of this circuit. I'm slowly trying to max out on my adjustable dumbbells to up all those to 90lb per arm, and my thinking was that this circuit would basically work pretty much every major muscle group. If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it, thanks!

I've avoided doing most kinds of ab work (especially things like crunches) because my pregnancies caused diastasis recti. I want to strengthen my core, but have been been told to avoid most types of ab exercises because they can make my separation worse. Because I'm not sure what is safe to do, I end up doing nothing. I have no core strength anymore. I would love your thoughts on this issue, as I know many women suffer from this after pregnancies. I want to throw caution to the wind and just do crunches and other ab exercises, but then I worry I'll make things worse.

Will give these a try. Believe it or not, no one knew what I was talking about 10 years ago when I said my lower back hurt when I do ab workouts lying on my back. I-d grab my kidney areas in agony after less than 10 leg raises. After a while, I realized not very many ppl have this problem, at least zero ppl in my life. So glad this is no longer just a me problem.

Thank you so much for your videos! They have been the most helpful for me to achieve the right form. I have a type of chronic lower back problem and I was prescribed ab exercises to diminish the pain. However, I found out that with most of these exercises my lower back ended up hurting even more - until I watched your videos: D Now they are really working

Notwithstanding, IT IS ABSOLUTELY relevant, TAKE INSTRUCTION from an EXPERT at min ALWAYS instead of James Bonding yourself to the next Latinahhh. Otherwise, you are hurting yourself in the absolutely wrong spot as usual.

I love your videos. I think you can still maintain a pelvic and engaged core AND a reduce lower back arch, still placing your hands under. Yes it makes it easier, but like you said, regress to progress.

I really can't explain how grateful I am about the explanation, regarding the lower abs. I knew I wasn't doing something right, but I wasn't sure what. Thank you once again and happy holidays. :)

Thank you so much for the video!
My problem when I am training my abs is that I fatigue my hip flexors but not my abs. I really find it difficult not to drive the move from my hip flexors.
