If you saw Will Tennyson injure his back while squatting, you probably thought the same thing as everyone else…
👉 “Bad form.”
👉 “Too much weight.”
👉 “That squat caused it.”
But what if that’s not actually what happened?
Most people assume back injuries come from a single moment, one bad rep, one wrong movement. But when it comes to disc herniations and low back pain, the truth is much more complex.
In this episode, I break down exactly what happened during Will’s squat, what people are getting wrong about his injury, and the real reason his back pain likely occurred.
🔷 Why that squat may NOT be the real cause
🔷 The hidden factors that increase your risk of disc injuries
🔷 What “butt wink” and spinal flexion actually mean under load
🔷 Why most back injuries build up over time, not just one rep
🔷 And the exact exercises used to fix and rebuild your back safely
👉 Key takeaway:
That squat didn’t cause the injury… it exposed it.
I’ll also walk you through the most effective way to recover from a disc injury, including:
✔️ Disc reversal (extension-based) exercises
✔️ Core stability training (without making pain worse)
✔️ How to reintroduce movement safely
✔️ How to progressively return to lifting
If you lift weights, train hard, or deal with low back pain or sciatica, this video is a must-watch.
