But does that mean you should never do it? Not necessarily!✅ Before You Even Consider Adding Flexion:- Axial Loading: You should be able to squat or hip hinge 75-100% of your bodyweight pain-free- Hip Mobility: Your hips should have good mobility in all ranges to reduce strain on your lower back- Full-Body Strength: By achieving the above, you’ve built resilience in your discs, ligaments, and spine🛠 Who Actually Needs Flexion Training?- Athletes in sports like BJJ or MMA who experience forced flexion under load- If you’ve evaluated your spinal mobility and truly lack flexion in daily life- If you’re pain-free and have met the prerequisites for safe progression🚨 Most people won’t even need to add flexion-specific training! By the time you meet the strength & mobility requirements, your back pain is likely gone and flexion becomes a natural part of daily movement again.🎯 Want to recover smarter and avoid unnecessary setbacks?
