    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I realised I have a bit of a problem with my lower back rounding when I reach below parallel on the front squat, so I went back to Mehdi's article.

The ways to fix back rounding as stated by Mehdi are: hamstring stretches, squat stretches, supermans, and box squats. First question is: what hamstring stretch should I be doing? Next: what are squat stretches?

And are supermans bad for your lower back? I didn't think it was good to bend your lower back in the manner? I thought it would give you lordosis or something.

Lower Back Rounding

Squat stretch, sit in that for 30 sec, keeping chest up

 
Actively increasing the range of motion of your spine (flexion/extension/rotation) is bad. Supermans: squeeze glutes hard while hyperextending your back.
