> I do power lifting and yoga
This is probably the last two kinds of sports I would combine. Especially if you are serious about any of them. You could really hurt your back down the line.
Generally powerlifters shouldn't do yoga [1]. Because in powerlifting you really want to stiffen your back so it can handle heavy weights. In yoga you are trying to "unstiffen" your spine so you can get into those flexible positions.

- adingus 5y agoAs someone who can only deadlift moderate weight (405lbs) I can tell this advice is almost completely wrong for anyone except maybe a record level lifter. This sounds like someone from the 1950s saying muscular people are "muscle-bound" and can't be flexible.
