Summary

In the inaugural episode of the Fitness Athlete Podcast, hosts Mitch Babcock and Alan Fredendall delve into the controversial topic of the 'butt wink' phenomenon in weightlifting and its implications for low back pain. They explore the existing literature on spinal flexion during lifting, the role of load, and practical applications for athletes and clinicians. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding when spinal positioning matters, particularly under heavy loads, and advocates for a balanced approach to movement optimization in training and rehabilitation.
