Re: Lower back injury duration

Base, it sounds like you have lordosis, which is an increased lordotic curve in the small of your back.

Now the question would be two fold- is it congenital (were you born with it) or was it brought on by years of poor exercise technique or even an accident. Both answers will have the same training programme to be honest.

I would suggest that you concentrate on your flexibilty, more so around the hip flexors- Rectus Femoris etc.(you can look them up, but don't get too bogged down). If these muscles are really tight then hey presto they will be pulling your pelvis down, hence the anterior tilt that you have (pointing down as you say with your bum sticking out). On the other side of the body, your lower back extensors are going to be very tight and will need time to work on, again flexibilty.

Okay, the abs stuff along with core work-

Do you understand the difference between a trunk curl and a sit up??
