Bulletproof Back Review

When I first saw this product I was actually quite skeptical. It did catch my attention for a while, but I decided against buying it the first time that I landed on the sales page.

It was one of the few back pain products left on the market that I hadn’t tried, so I decided to bite the bullet (no pun intended) and buy the program to see what it was about. I ended up buying the Bulletproof Back system so that I could check it out and write a Bulletproof Back review to post here on my website.

Bulletproof Back Complaints:

The first thing I noticed when I logged into the members area to check out the program is that the audio on the videos is way too quiet. I could hardly hear the voice of ‘Eric Wong’ who instructs these videos in what appears to be his empty basement.

I had to crank my speakers up 3/4 of the way just to hear what he was saying! In my opinion a lot more work could have went into mastering the videos properly so that you can actually hear Eric’s instructions.

Another thing I didn’t like about the Bulletproof Back System is that some of the modules for the videos were hard to navigate. Sometimes I would try to click on one video and another one would actually get the click. I think the website development could be a bit better. They tried to make the video players look fancy but it took away the ability to actually navigate to the video I wanted to see sometimes. Maybe this was just a problem with the Chrome internet browser or something, but it was annoying.

It would also be nice if Eric Wong made it more clear as to how fast someone should progress through these videos too. Most people will want to dive in too quickly and might end up over doing it with too much new activity all at once. Remember to take it slow when doing new exercises and stretches, especially when you’ve got a back injury!

Bulletproof Back System

Other than the annoying navigation and the low quality audio, the Bulletproof Back System is actually pretty darn good. I was impressed with the information and extremely helpful tips that Eric Wong gives as he explains each part of the system.

Bulletproof Back is broken down into different phases and should be taken slowly, one phase at a time with slow progressions. It’s often best to go slower than you think you should with this sort of exercise routine, so be forewarned not to overdo it and strain yourself.

The system itself is actually fantastic for anyone struggling with back pain, neck pain, or sciatica. As I went through each of the videos I found a lot of the best exercises that I have learned through various physiotherapy programs, chiropractors, qigong (chi kung), and other back pain programs were all repeated in this system, except with a better explanation of how to do it properly. Eric has a great way of explaining the exercises he demonstrates in the videos. Many of the tips were things that my physiotherapists hadn’t mentioned which have made a huge difference in how I do my daily exercise and stretching routine.

On top of all the exercises that I had already been doing, Eric exposed dozens of new back pain stretches and exercises that I didn’t know about. Many of them I have now incorporated into my daily routine.

The system includes 7 modules, or phases, which cover everything from the basics to the final strengthening and ‘bulletproofing’ your back.

The 7 Phases:

• Bulletproof Back Fundamentals
• Assessment Vidoes
• Treatment Videos
• Corrective Phase
• Foundation Phase
• 3D Strength Phase
• Bulletproofing Phase

Each section is divided into sub-sections that include several videos each. There are a lot of videos included in this system, and if these exercises are new to you like many of them were to me, it may take you a while to go through them all and learn to do them correctly. That’s why it’s so important to take it slow and move through each phase very slow and carefully.

Little Things That Count

I really can’t stress enough how valuable some of the little tips that Eric Wong mentions are. Some of the slight posture adjustments that he demonstrates in the Bulletproof Back system can make or break the effectiveness of the exercise, so listen carefully to make sure you hear it all (even if it means cranking the volume!).

Bulletproof Back vs. Lose The Back Pain

When put up against the Lose The Back Pain System, Bulletproof Back wins in my books. Though the Lose The Back Pain system is more professionally packaged and has better recording quality, if I had to choose one or the other I would without question choose the Bulletproof Back system purely because it’s much more effective and provides a lot more value for the price.

While the Lose The Back Pain program looks more scientific and fancy, it fails to provide the same level of value that Eric Wong’s Bulletproof Back program offers. It took me years to sift through the best exercises for true back pain relief by going to physiotherapists and chiropractors almost daily for months on end, but Eric Wong has put them all together with better instruction than most of my therapists have ever given me.

Conclusion = Try It!

In my opinion, the Bulletproof Back system is probably the best back pain exercise program that I’ve seen to date simply because of Eric Wong’s ability to explain each movement  in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand. The body awareness and posture tips that he gives for each exercise or stretch in the videos is really the strong point of this program.

That and the fact that Eric Wong has included all of the best and most effective methods for developing a home treatment system for all kinds of back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. Whether the pain is from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, muscle imbalances, or pinched nerves, the Bulletproof Back pain system is definitely worth taking a look at.

How To Crack Your Back

Although it’s not usually advised that you crack your own back, many people want to know how to crack your back properly without needing to take a trip to the chiropractor or physiotherapist. A lot of people twist their torso from one side to the other in a quick ‘snappy’ motion in an attempt to make their back crack, but this is one of the worst things you can do if you want to keep your spine healthy and properly aligned.

An uncontrolled ‘jerky’ twist or movement might be able to make your back pop, but it’s not good for you in the long run. If your back feels like it needs to pop, your safest bet is to book an appointment with a well trained chiropractor, but if you are dead-set on cracking your own back at home, here are some of the safest ways to make your back pop without as much risk of damaging your vertebrae or discs.

My favorite ways to properly crack my back at home all involve using a swiss exercise ball. These balls are very affordable and can be used for much more than just cracking your back safely. Many of the most effective back pain and herniated disc healing exercises involve the use of these swiss exercise balls and I highly recommend you pick one up. You can order one from Amazon by clicking here. They come in several sizes and I personally have two different sizes at home because I prefer to use a different sized ball for some of the exercises that I do each day. If I had to choose one size to go with it would be the 75cm round swiss ball, but I also have a 65cm ball that I prefer for some exercises.

Using An Exercise Ball To Crack Your Back

There are a few ways that I use the swiss ball to properly crack my back at home.

Method #1: Crack Middle Back

Start out by sitting on the exercise ball. Slowly walk your feet out and lower yourself onto the exercise ball so that your back is resting over the exercise ball and creates a backwards arch over the ball. Do this slowly and carefully, and if it hurts don’t do it.

Relax your body over the swiss ball using your feet for balance, allow yourself to completely relax and feel a good stretch over the ball. You can slowly move forward and back so that the ball rests under different parts of your upper and lower back.

Almost every time I do this stretch my upper and mid back will give a few little cracks and pops as my joints release and become more mobile. I usually hold the position on the ball for 20-30 seconds as I slowly roll my spine up and down the ball while trying to relax completely.

To increase this stretch you can hold your arms out to your sides or up above your head, the same way you would if you were standing upright and reaching for the sky. Doing this will add extra weight to the stretch and provide a bit of decompression in your spine.

This stretch should look something like this (please excuse the terrible drawing, I’m not an artist):

Method #2: Crack Upper Back

Sit on your knees in front of your exercise ball. Put your hands on the ball to support your body and slowly roll the ball forwards, leaning forward as you move the ball further away from you. As you come to a good stretch with your arms out in front of you with most of your weight still on your knees, allow your upper and mid back to relax and sag a bit. Do not force it. This is supposed to be a gentle stretch to mobilize your upper and mid back joints.

I do this stretch with my head above my shoulders as well as allowing my head to sink below my arms to allow for more ‘sag’ in my upper back. Doing this often gets several pops and cracks out of my upper back and this stretch really feels amazing. It’s one of my favorite stretches to do, especially when I feel like my back needs to crack.

This stretch should look something like this (please excuse the terrible drawing, I’m not an artist):

Method #3: How To Crack Your Back

The third method to crack your upper back using an exercise ball is to do the opposite of Method #1. This time you lay on the exercise ball with your chest and abdomen, almost as if you’re giving your exercise ball a hug. Slowly roll forward onto the ball so that your knees no longer touch the ground but your toes still touch the ground to help you balance.

You may let your arms hang over the sides or front of the ball but do not firmly plant them on the ground in front of you, that would defeat the purpose of this stretch. Instead, allow your arms to hang loosely around the ball. Relax the muscles in your back as you rest on the exercise ball. This stretch will help decompress your spine once you learn to relax the muscles that are usually quite tight in your upper and mid back.

This exercise ball back stretch doesn’t usually get my back to crack or pop, but for many people it does. The key is to allow yourself to fully relax over the ball and you should feel a decent stretch in your back as you do this. You can hold this stretch for 20-30 seconds if you feel comfortable.

This stretch should look something like this (please excuse the terrible drawing, I’m not an artist):

Cracking Your Back Without Props

Here are some of the best ways to crack your back without using a swiss exercise ball which are safe to do at home.

One way is to stand up straight with good posture. Take both hands and place them behind your head. As you do this slowly push your head back into your hands. Slowly push back as far as you can comfortably go without any sudden or jerky movements. This stretch will often mobilize the upper back between the shoulder blades and cause some of the joints to pop.

You can also stand up nice and straight with a corner of a wall in the center of your back. Gently bring your arms backwards by squeezing your shoulder blades. Do not force yourself backwards into the wall while you do this – it could harm your back. This is supposed to be a gentle stretch that will often get your back to crack naturally, never force your back to crack or pop.

Of course, the safest way to properly crack your back is to go to a licensed chiropractor who specializes in this sort of thing, but hopefully these few suggestions will help you safely crack your back yourself at home without causing any harm to your spine or discs.
