Hi everyone,
My name is Thierry and this is my first thread is this forum (a pretty long one because I tried to follow the rules and give as much back story as possible).
I'd like some advice about FMS because I see it mention a lot around here and living in the south of france the closest FMS professional is far away and I want to make sure it's the right thing to do in my position.
Here is my story/background :
I'm 26 years old, male, 6 feet, 165 pounds at 12% body fat (on a commercial scale) but I don't have a lot of fat (abs visible)
I hurt my back doing crossfit (after 1 and half year of practice) in Jan of 2015 doing a deadlift (245lbs). It wasn't too bad as I could still walk, run and pretty much do anything I wanted except lift things from the floor without a small pain in my back (i'd say 3/10 but i'm a sissy). So I went to a sport doctor, did some scan and nothing was found except that I have a "flat back" so the doctor told me to go see a physiotherapist which I did. He told me to stretch because I was really tight (hamstring, quads, psoas) at the time and could hardly touch my chin when bending at the hips. Fast forward this summer after a lot of stretching with no real progression and no training except for some plank (not the hardstyle one) and some pushup. I decided to train again and to do it with kettlebell. So I purchased "Kettlebell simple and sinister" and started training with 16kg regularly for a month and jumped to 24kg. Currently after 2 months I can 2H swing 24kg pretty easily for 10 set of 10 reps (my mobility also increased, I can touch the floor from the tip of my finger, I can sit in a deep squat). But the other day I tried to deadlift 40kg(90lbs) with someone to check my form and doing everything I learned from my KB practice but the pain came back almost instantly(only 2/10)
So here is my problem: Will I ever be able to pick something heavy from the floor again ? It's a really strange pain, doing sport since my childhood I already had some injuries but none of them felt like this.
Anyone as advice about this ? Do you think a fms professional will be able to find something and provide corrective exercise ?
Power to all of you
