Hello,

You are not alone. I also have lordosis as well as my father who was a pro bodybuilder. It can actually be used to your advantage by making your back look even larger. Mine really straightened out by doing ab work. Particularly leg lifts. Concentrate on your posture, too. If you look in the muscle mags you will see a lot of the guys have it. Bentover rows also helped tremendously.

Just remember, besides the lower back pain that comes with lordosis it can be a gift. I am not sure how old you are but in my father and I it has straightened quite a bit with age.

Hey there thanks a lot for the encouragement!

I am 22 and I believe my lordosis is a result of not working my abs enough. Bad posture perhaps, but I think it is more a result of the weak muscles.

My lordosis is not that bad. I only get lower back pains if I stand for too long a period (1 hour +).

So are there any other exercises I should focus on?? I read that hamstring work my also be necessary, though I am not sure why.

Time to start working abs 2 times a week.

Thanks again!

lol I have the opposite problem

Hello,

I would have to say that I saw dramatic results when I started to work my abs everyday.(step it up a notch, once a week is surely not enough) and most importantly, leg lifts. You mentioned hamstring work and I do that anyway, as you should with leg day. Make sure you incorpoorate bent-over rows to strengthen those back muscles on back day.

Make sure to stretch your hips too because part of your problem could be tight Iliopsoas muscles.
