Veeky Forums I have been back at lifting for about 6 months after several years out and am making good progress. That said, I inherited Lordosis and since I am now in my mid 30's when I OHP it fucks up my back. I have read various technique guides like SS and have implemented them, but it hasn't helped. Anyone have good alternatives or suggestions on how I can prevent lower back problems while still getting good shoulder/upper body development? I have tried dumbbells as an alternative, but it still causes issues. Thoughts?

You're doing it wrong. Bend at the waist. Squeeze your quads.

i am pretty new to lifting myself, but i had the same problem
i flex my butt, put all my weight on my thighs, and shove my crotch forward slightly, and that took all the pain off my lower back
flexing your butt is the real key here

How? It's genetic

Do you mean lean forward a bit? Seems like it might help a little.

Go to a doctor/physio. There are ways to strengthen muscles, relearn posture, etc etc.
I have fucking scoliosis you fuck you can fix that shit.
