Weighted yoga
Just walk it off
Everything that stretches your back. Pull ups, lat pulldowns etc.
OP here. Thankfully my back isn't as severe as the image I posted. It's 30 and 25 degrees.
Plsno yoga is so boring
Noted, thanks.
Is this bad back general? Ya boy got lordosis so I can’t dead lift bc you’re not suppose to arch your back, but I can’t stop myself :( I heard it’s a problem with my weak lower back muscles / hips is this true? My idea is to just use a machine which targets the lower back and do bodyweight exercises at home until I stop being built like yoshi from mario

Well desu yoga would help straighten it a bit, but most yoga is out of bounds for you too, how will you do side torsions or forward/backward bends? It’ll probably snap you
If you gradually start with it you might start decompressing and getting better posture but other than that I’d say go with something like swimming where it won’t put pressure on your back

I have scoliosis, 38 degrees last time I checked. My lifts ain’t great, but 200’s for squats n dead’s. Just keep conditioning that body.
What struggles have you gone through? How old are you? Any moves you have trouble with that I should avoid?
I was told when I was young I might have it, but parents never did anything and I never worried about it. As an adult in my early 20s I went to the doctor for back pain and he said I didn't have it. No x-rays, he just poked my back. After that I continued life until now at 30, back pain continues so went to a chiropractor just to check it out, thinking it would help pain relief and come to find out I do indeed have it at 30 and 25th degrees. Fuck that first doctor who didn't bother to check.
I also have scoliosis, and can definitely tell its gonna suck a fuck ton when my lifts get higher
are squats and deadlifts actually required to get YUGE?
I’m 28. Struggles have been constant back pain form exercises and work(I work construction, I Know!). You’re body eventually adapts. Lol holy shit, same thing happened to me, I just found out last year by a chiro as well.
unless you were born with scoliosis then you probably have a muscle imbalance like with tennis players who use one side of their body to much
literally just go to a physiothearapist and demand physical therapy that will make the imbalanced side stronger lmao
i have scoliosis too but not this severe. i would ask a doctor. i think there is a surgery that would straighten your spine. but i know little about it. theres also a youtube fitness guy with severe scoliosis that shares exercises but i forgot his channel name x_x
Weighted dips and chin/pull up maybe ?
Gravity boots could help too
go to 3 minute mark

I got corrective surgery 2 years ago, had a 60 degree curve. I let it go way to long, as getting numbness in my feet and tons of pain. Took an entire year to feel like myself again and now 2 years out I'm better then ever. Don't put off the surgery OP, it will catch up to you
You should ask an actual expert about that.

How has it affected lifting?
Zero lifting 8 months post, took me till about 18 months to be able to lift without fear of snap city
>please help me improve
>no boring ways to improve please
are you retarded. not everything is 100% fun. learn to enjoy it, pussy
Crossfit
Do exercises that help you fix it
I started doing this 2 years ago when I fucked up my back really good. I do it several times a day just a minute or so especially after sitting a lot or working. Since then I had no injuries during lifting and my back just feels fucking great. Everybody should do that especially with back problems.
What kinda weak yoga you been doing?Yoga is fun as fuck.
Standing and posing in one place for extended periods just doesn't click with me. I have too much energy and need to keep moving.
You should avoid vertical loads but that's bs. You should strengthen the core and the best way to do it is by squat & dl
Just be careful and progress very slowly with light weights
Get off the internet and go to a schroth clinic. Scoliosis is almost impossible to fix.
Use your other hand to jerk off
get and inversion table. try it out, I honest don't know if its any good for such a pic but i got a buddy who used one after the docs told him he would never exorcise again. 3 fused vertebra in some the worst spots, multiple herniated disc. he was all fucked up. He used the table everyday and now he exorcises(more maintenance then anything) at least 3 times a week. Also it helps with my sciatic nerve issues.

>Not doing unilateral dumbbell side bends for maximum Cobb angle gains so you qualify for surgery
Unfortunately surgery results in very high arthritis and disk degeneration risk 15-20 y down the line.
I have a double 45-35 curve and try to postpone it as long as possible
OP, I had similar surgery to this guy. My angle was ~60, had surgery at 16, I'm 25 now. Get the surgery if you can, was told no weights for 9 mo, no contact sports for 1 year, can swim after 3 mo though
I’ve heard Mark Rippetoe once say “Would you rather have a back that’s fucked up and weak, or fucked up and strong?”
OP should still probably do the big 4 and get strong, but maybe take the LP a bit slower.
I can’t imagine how someone would find a comfortable position on their back for squats though with a spine like that, so maybe the leg press is unironically the next best substitute.
Literally what the NHS said to me
>NHS bashing on Jow Forums
Lol faggot
I used to made a Back general some time ago. but I left the idea because no one gives a fuck on this board and I don't want to spam people with stuff they don't want.
You are fucked.
t.someone with scolisis, kyphosis and lordosis.
Surgery is invasive and results are not guaranteed. We don't have a good cure yet. If you don't have crippling pain that's what every doctor that doesn't profit from you will advise
as someone who is on week 3 of lifting how do i prevent this back?
What do you mean “not guaranteed”?
It’s dangerous, you could end up paralyzed. And you’ll never be as flexible as a normal person anyway. What else could happen?

No excuse, more deadlifts.
5 x bodyweight deadlift from this dude
Many end up with no improvement or with worse pain than before.
Also there's a very high risk your disks above and below the fusion level will degenerate very fast, arthritis 20y after surgery etc.

When I had spinal fusion it was t2-11 that all got fused.
Thoracic vertebrate what lets you turn sideways so can't do that now but you can kind of turn on the spot with your lumbars.
If your lumbar vertebrae get fused I think it would have a bigger impact on lifting.
1x1 don’t be born with scoliosis
Do it again faggums
Andra?
You need a medical exercise expert to give you advice on this. Not an anime messageboard full of idiots.
NO. You do not overly stretch a scoliosis back. It has a bigger chance of pinching a nerve than a straight spine.
OP DONT LISTEN TO THAT
You fucked nigga
Don't exactly have funds (even with insurance) to spare to go a specialist. The chiropractic discovery was from a discounted deal. I'm still paying off the $700 for a breast exam and $275 for an x-ray on my foot only for the doctor to shrug his shoulders and say "I don't know."
