Direct arm work is just for fun ? So if someone purchases some free weights and does curls their biceps won't get bigger after 1 or 2 months?

But my scoliosis is higher, more between my shoulder blades... So should I do the chairs on the same side that the curve is or opposite?

dunno, maybe I'm just an extreme case... i can see the forward shoulder posture improving if you shorten the "pulling" muscles enough.. but cause the hips are fixed, and there's so much forcing the lordotic curve, I can't see, logically, how you could improve this curve, how I can decrease the # of ...

Like I said, I did assess & correct + neanderthal no more exercises on and off for a couple of years... i wasn't totally consitant but I just wasn't seeing any progress. assess & correct tells you to press your back and a.$s against a wall and put your hand between the lumbar spine and the wall to s...

i'm in your position and i'd just like to chime in that it's not possible to fix your normal, relaxed, neutral posture I looked into Assess and Correct and the whole "mobility" craze (selling false hope), I looked into T-nation's 'neanderthal no more' .. even on this site if you go to "lordosis" etc...

of course, I feel sore the next 2 days after a squat session, mainly in my quads and lower back.. I'm just concerned that, even if I don't get any warning signals of pain in my spine, I'll be "bending" the scoliotic curve more and more..

I remember people saying something similar about me in my past, so I asked her to look real quick.. she asked me to b...

but thats stretching the quads and not the hip flexors, yeah?

anterior pelvic tilt'll make your a.$s stick out more and look bigger. Belly too! Anyone has a killer stretch for hip flexors? I've just started messing with this one doesnt really do anything for me... the leg just kind of dangles anyway, when you do the regular lunge-like hip flexor stretch, is y...

I've been doing Neanderthal no more part 5 as my only exercise routine for many months now, and more than half of the big exercises have something to do with the glutes ie rack pull http://www.t-nation.com/img/photos/04-115-training/image002.jpg http://www.t-nation.com/img/photos/04-115-training/ima...

Trying to treat my lordosis.. might just be genetically fv(k but I'm doing what I can :blackeye: wikipedia Lordosis of the lower back may be treated by strengthening the hip extensors on the back of the thighs, and by stretching the hip flexors on the front of the thighs.
