Strength Gains through Lumbar Lordosis Restoration

A study shows that strength gains can be made through lumbar lordosis restoration. 


Conclusion: By restoring the lumbar lordosis in a single patient, the protocol outlined was able to provide for a 60-pound increase in the patient's bench press after 4 months. This study supports the previous premise that a normal lumbar lordosis provides inherent biomechanical stability and strength. Expanding this study to include a large number of subjects may be valuable to certain groups within the population concerned with strength and endurance, such as athletes and bodybuilders.
