So this is caused by weak hamstrings, tight erector spinae, tight psoas, tight quadriceps, weak elongated abdominals IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY. solution should be increase hamstring strength, abdominal strength, increase psoas, quadriceps, and erector spinae flexibility. sounds easy enough........
i've been trying to do this for months and no results . fuck
Lordosis is a medical term used to describe an inward curvature of a portion of the lumbar and cervical vertebral column.[1] Two segments of the vertebral column, namely cervical and lumbar, are normally lordotic, that is, they are set in a curve that has its convexity anteriorly (the front) and concavity posteriorly (behind), in the context of human anatomy. When referring to the anatomy of other mammals, the direction of the curve is termed ventral. Curvature in the opposite direction, that is, apex posteriorly (humans) or dorsally (mammals) is termed kyphosis. Excessive or hyperlordosis is commonly referred to as swayback or saddle back, a term that originates from the similar condition that arises in some horses.

good question
-
try bosu balls.
-
when you look at the weak and the right muscles
it seems pretty apparent this is caused by squats and deadlifts over the years, while neglecting ab work, ham work, and flexibility work

Reverse Hperextension Machine....thank me later.
Rehabbed my back great.....went from using 25 pounds on it to 200 for reps over time.
My lower back is a mess but it`s much better after doing reverse hypers on the machine.

Works the whole posterior chain,with the emphasis on hams,glutes,erectors.

mostly hamstring? that would be good

At first this thread read like a hit on Christianity....."lordosis". Was ready to throw down some theology LOL!!
Unfortunately I have no advice for your condition, but hope you can find a solution. God Bless!!
-
The one at our gym is plate loaded and probably very expensive.....has worked wonders on my back as far as strengthening it and less pain as a result.
You lay on it,and slowly lift your legs up until you reach the top,then lower under control.
Works the whole posterior chain....I feel it mostly in hams and glutes,but erectors are worked at the top of the exercises.
I usually do regular hypers right after these.
-
I would look like a whale outta water on that thing.

I have a bad lower back. I've found that working it hard/heavy is shit. Keeping it flexible/loose is key. I like the stick twists. Find what works for you, and make it part of your routine. Good luck.

Loose and flexible would probably be the answer........I`m always gonna` start stretching this coming Monday.
It`s been about 5 years now and it`s always this coming Monday I`ll start stretching!!!
I feel like the Tin Man covered in rust. :(

When I say 'stretching' I just mean one, good one when I've finished. 20-45 secs, or so. Just enough to feel some pain, and settle on the pub for lunch. ;D
-
I could probably manage that then! ;D
-
although i agree that the reverse hyper is the best exercise for the whole chain.. ya have to determine if the lordosis is caused by imbalance or genetic structure.. if its you bone structure you can help it from getting worse but never change or alter it..
-
I cured myself successfully of the Lord of the Rings. :-\ :P ;D
-
LOL,
PNS what do I see here? You suffer from lordosis, this week?
-
i had to google lordosis. lol
Seems to be a flexibility issue as well. How about doing physical therapy?
-
squats and deads while neglecting hamstrings? not possible
-
Greg Kovacs fixed his by picking up refrigerators "naked" in front of paying schmo's twice a week for a decade.

i'm pretty sure my spinal erectors and glutes are already strong from all those squats
problem with my gym is the hamstring machine is way too weak
so i'm forced to do super slow reps with it to be able to reach "failure" after a dozen or so reps
i think this is the problem, leg is super quadricep dominant, this together with weak saggy abs and tight back => lordosis
by the way seems like everybody who lifts weights has this but they dont care or are oblivious about it
-
squats and deads while neglecting hamstrings? not possible
my quadriceps and glutes always have soreness
hamstrings never
this means the hamstring activation is pretty low in these lifts

he did g4p with jay cutler? wtf man

i think overgrown glute also seem it make worse from the side

Stop taking it doggy. That should help.

Yes MOS, I didn't realise we were brothers ;D God is faithful.

This type of problem builds up over a long time and can take a long time to sort out. Stick with it. I had lower back issues that took me 2 years to sort out. For me, working hams more, streching hip flexors/lower back, and continuing to do deads/squats sorted me out.

You're thinking of ben wa balls.

I have the exact same condition and from neglecting what you're pointing out. I'm back doing situps after each workout. I see a message therapist once a while and was told i had Lordosis? I'm working on rounding out my back. When i roll on my spine it hurts like hell but it feels good - like i've neglected doing it. And i have.
I've been doing those gay hip thrust movements but they alleviate the condition somewhat.
Glad you brought this subject up.

I had to appease the gay audience.

Lordosis is mainly caused by the lower cross syndrome (anterior pelvic tilt). There are some good articles on the web about it. I think foam rolling the hip flexors and stretching will help this.
good article below

Try Stiff-Legged deadlifts while standing on a bench.

i have posterior pelvic tilt, makes my butt look small. help

great, so it works exactly like what i'm trying to do
just takes more time and effort
good to know i'm doing something that's going to work

I have it pretty bad, been to chiros and deep tissue massage therapists, but
didn't have much luck with it.
This site has some good resources....
http://www.exrx.net/Kinesiology/Posture.html
In my case, quads are tight as hell and hamstrings are weak.
Abdominals are weak and need to be trained hard and heavy.
I was told deep, deep leg presses are helpful.....use light enough
weight for slow, controlled reps and hold at the bottom.
Lunges help too, but everyone thinks they're gay.
I paid a strength trainer to put together a list of exercises for postural issues;
he consulted with physical therapists, ART practitioners, and other strength
coaches and basically consolidated it for me.
If you want to PM me I can send you some files on stretches and various
exercises that help fix imbalances.

basically it comes down to stretching psoas, spinal erectors, quads, and strengthening abdominals and hamstrings right
i don't have an extreme case anyway, no doctor has ever commented on it, but when i see myself relaxed from the side i realize i have it
99% of bodybuilders have this in my observations
thanks for thelink very interesting

thanks for thelink very interesting
no prob.
I now many people here hate T-nation, but they had a series called 'Neanderthal No More' about
fixing imbalances. It helped me a bit.
This is the routine itself I think, there are a few other articles in the series.

My next attempt will be getting rolfing done....a practitioner in my area claims he can fix it. We'll see.
