THE PARADOX OF LOMBARD
The paradox of lumbar positioning in a squat refers to maintaining a neutral spine while the hips and knees flex deeply. As depth increases, the pelvis naturally tilts, challenging lumbar neutrality and increasing stress on the lower back. Proper technique, core stability, and mobility training help manage this paradox to reduce injury risk and improve squat performance. Understanding spinal mechanics is key to safe, effective squatting and developing strength without comprom
