I have been doing exercises. I feel tenderness around lower back and even below belly button. I also have two spots where shoulder meets pec. Pic attached. Sometimes feel tight on days, sometimes not. Is this normal? I’m on days 11-17

Also wanted to add, tender on outer rib cage area. Both sides. Is this due to the ribcage expanding in all directions, 360?

I personally switched the exercises. Another question is should we be doing this 7 days a week?

I think the one exercise is just building on the first with the arms up.

Thanks for the video. Does it take a few weeks to lengthen the muscles fibers? Also with the protective thing, will there be a push and pull? Sometimes my ribcage /chest feels tight when breathing then sometimes it’s loose.

Verrelle. Hope all is well. I have a question. I have an injury I’m working through. Possible strain mid back/intercostals. I’ve been doing the 2 exercises. Sometimes it’s tight. I’m really working on breathing to expand ribcage/diaphragm which your breathing does. It was tight today but loosens up. I also start to focus on breathing when driving or walking down past the belly button. I can feel tightness on in breath in stomach and oblique regions and psoas at times. This is what I want as it obviously needs to expand. Man, all these years as an athlete I start to contemplate past training. If tight, should I work through it and keep on going or stop for a day and comeback?

@Verrelle Wyatt I am not. More focused on getting the breathing aspect more loosened up in incase/back area.
