Exercises for Posture - Stabilizing the Lower Back

[altforfit]

And he is not working AGAINST gravity with the wieghts being pulled back behind his back overextending his shoulder, it makes NO SENSE whatsoever, and he is with a GOOD chance overextending his lumbar spine here putting alot of stess on the facet joints in the lumbar spine.

[altforfit]

Pause it at 2:25, look at the weights distance from the center of gravity, and imagine how the little forward and backward movements in the hip and lumbar spine will have the intrinsic back muscles overfiring = overworking if they are already weak, oh and then there is the rotation compound, him sitting on an unstable surface doing pulling this stunt will do a hurt back harm, could even hurt a healthy spine, also he is STILL trashing the long head of his biceps in the front raise.

it teaches your body to stabilize ON A BALL and nothing more, it might activate the deep spinal muscles but there is something called transfer that needs to be taken into consideration. Doing crunches on the floor might make you gain mass in the abdominals, but functionally you will get dumber and slower and coordination will get worse, so then you have more powerfull horses being dumber running in the wrongs directions.

@altforfit why would the last and 2:25 etc be bad?

[altforfit]

It is unnatural to raise ANY weight infron of the body like that, you would do what is easiet, rasing the weight straight up and then putting it where it should go, you are killing your long head of the biceps doing that exercise!! Aren't you a chriopractor, have you not studied biomechanics and functional anatomy? You might want to activate your Transversus abdominis while doing your exercises sitting. The last exercise makes no sense whatsoever. Just being honest.

@altforfit your post makes no sense, what is everyone in a gym doing then?
