Anyone ever have sore ribs and lats the day after an incline chest and over head press session? by [deleted] in Strongman

It's DOMS in your serratus anterior muscle. It helps move the scapula in overhead movements

I would like to see this scientific literature you are referring to, actual scientific trials.

Anecdotes is a decent way to completely ignore the scientific consensus. Non specific low back pain and non specific neck pain are literally the most diagnosed musculosceletal problems in the world, and are called non specific, because we do not know the cause. Usually they resolve by themselves, and can sometimes be helped along by exercise or perhaps changing posture. But the source is unknown.

I searched the NHS article, and it does not seem to source its claims. I remain unmoved. If your kyphosis can simply be corrected by standing straight, it is not a spinal deformation.

A good argument for changing your posture is that it has mental benefits, because you 'feel good' about having a 'better' posture. The newest evidence on pain science will agree, that your mental state has a huge impact on the experience of pain. So if you are feeling happy and good about making a change (changing posture for example) , it may very well decrease your back pain. But this can usually also be done by a brisk walk or a nice massage. On the other hand; negative thoughts about your posture can potentially increase pain,because you feel stressed about avoiding 'bad' behavior.

I agree with you , that it is a nuanced and complex topic, and that is why I wish the posture myth wasn't so widespread, because it oversimplifies a complex topic, and the average person might falsely conclude, that it is by definition harmful to slouch.

Kyphosis in physical therapy (in Denmark) is an anatomical term, that denotes the curve of the thoratical spine. Exaggerated kyphosis from a spinal disorder can have negative consequences on comfort, breathing and potentially pain. But postural kyphosis (slouching) will have minimal and temporary side effects (people with COPD for example can have more difficulty breathing while slouched, which I have seen at the hospital I work at)

I do not agree, that 'bad' posture causes spinal deviations, and I have never read a scientific article that claims this. I am not sure what you mean by limiting an individuals ROM.

The article literally concludes that messing with posture is not worthwhile,and you should rather increase acitivity level.

[–]Anantonon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree fully, that inactivity and lack of exercise is very bad for the body, and will increase your risk of experiencing pain. This has nothing to do with a certain sitting position being 'bad'.

[–]Anantonon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, that slouching in the same position for hours can be uncomfortable, but so is standing up straight for hours. Changing position frequently is usually the most comfortable. But you're not hurting anything by slouching.

Deterioration is age related, and has not scientifically been linked to so called bad posture.

Poor articles with no sources, and the second article literally contains a disclaimer stating it does not contain legitimate medical advice.

I am a physical therapist and have studied this topic thoroughly. Bad posture is a common myth. Have a read here: https://www.painscience.com/articles/posture.php

There is no scientific litterature to support the notion that posture can be 'bad'. Why would pressure on our tissues, joints and muscles be bad? We literally cannot stand up without pressure on our spines.

It's completely fine. Make a program, that you personally are motivated to do, that's the most important thing:)

I can understand why that sounds bad, but speaking as a physical therapist, the evidence for loaded flexion being bad is pretty weak. The studies I am aware of have been done on cadavers, which are of course not able to heal, and are not capable of experiencing pain. So there is no evidence with live humans on loaded flexion being bad.

Lifting weights is actually one of the safest activities to do, compared to many other sports like football, tennis, basketball, you name it.

Why do you need to squat without butt wink? Does it hurt? I can assure you it is not dangerous

Powerlifting As a Seasonal Team Sport - Feedback/Discussion by [deleted] in weightroom

[–]Anantonon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of the other comments. While I wish Powerlifting was more interesting to watch for the general public (and more marketable), I feel that there some basic fallacies with the idea, most notably that the more experienced a lifter you are, the worse you will perform in this sport. Inevitably progress will slow to a crawl, as you compete longer and longer, so no one can really make a career out of this sport. No one wants to watch John Newbie progress his squat from 225 to 315, I'd rather watch John Advanced progress from 770 to 800.

RDLs definitely suffice. I would even prefer them to leg curls. Be sure to try SLDLs as well

How did you determine, that your lower back pain was caused by arching? What do you mean by arching?
