[QUOTE="FeelingLost, post: 106782, member: 15131"] [SIZE=1]I'm new to weightlifting and just learning the basics so please keep that in mind. My goals are just overall strength improvements. I'm 64 and have no plans to compete or anything like that. I am looking for primary cord strength building exercises. From my research, that means the big 4 as a cord to your workouts. I can't do Clean & Press, Deadlifts, Squats or even bend over rows to a weak lower back. Weak meaning lower spine issues[/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=1]not[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=1] muscles. In the[/SIZE][SIZE=1]past[/SIZE][SIZE=1] I have injured my back from just twisting wrong and it can take up to 6 months before the pain goes away. I don't want to risk blowing my back out learning these exercises. Any suggestions for alternatives to these 4 that does not include the lower spine. I am working on strengthing the muscles that support my spine in hopes one day of attempting the big 4. Thanks for any advice you are willing to offer.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
