Lordosis - has anybody here successfully cured himself of it?
« on: February 02, 2012, 02:33:21 PM »
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.

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


the curse of neglecting the "details"

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.

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 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

 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..
