Hi,
I have some gnarly lower back stuff happening -- pretty agressive bulging L4.
While most of the exercises here really alleviate pain & pressure in my lower back, doing pancake work in the middle split series totally destroys me. I am afterward sooo stiff, I can barely stand up, and need to lie flat on the floor for several minutes before I can even stand up. Clearly -- I'm not doing it correctly. Any trick on how to keep yourself honest and truly work your legs without overcompensating with the lower back? Thanks!
