He broke his back jumping out of airplanes in the army. Just a small fracture, and it's healed completely now, but he still has pain sometimes. Also, he is an electrical lineman and does alot of physical labor which causes back pain. I think he'll benefit from this exercise...If I can get him to do it..lol.

It was a constant 4/10 pain, and felt like someone had punched me with a fist. I'd tried stretching and hanging from the monkey-bars, but that only provided minimal relief. Then, Denis suggested I help carry 12kg kettlebells to his car. I wasn't concerned about the weight and obliged. A few yards later Denis asked me how my back feels. I told him, "Surprisingly, it feels really good." He then explained how the Farmer's Walk reminds your body of how it should move. By the time we'd completed the 50 m or so to the car, my back pain was gone. Its counter-intuitive, but it really works. I had low back pain radiating across my left side.
