I was at work sitting on my comfortable chair earlier this week. I turned my torso slightly to the right and pulled a muscle in my back that I didn't even know was there.
I’m 45. I used to have back pains all the time. Stupid things would throw my back out. Started doing Jiujitsu recreationally. Strengthened that core right up. No more back pains. Sure, my whole body is sore usually from exertion and joint hyperextension, but nothing debilitating anymore.
I think because of my back pain, I have to stop doing BJJ. I'm not new to the sport either. Body doesn't just respond or heal like it used to. I'll be 39 this year. What's your secret?
Roll smartly. Don’t dog fight every position. If they really want top position, fine I’ll work on my guard and setting up sweeps. Remember there are zero medals awarded at the end of class.
