No one said that though
The lumbar region is more vulnerable simply because there is not as much musculature compared to the thoracic spine.

So, I was snowed in yerterday. I probably consumed 4500 calories and burned 13.
Btw I'm 4 weeks in on a cut. I feel all kinds of guilty.

Couple of reasons:
1) i had back surgery last December. Taking a foam roller on my back without any supervision ain't the best idea period
2) the spine is different than any other bone in the body since it's not just one solid piece. It's made up of several smaller ones that help you bend. There's a lot of nerves as well
3) you can end up foam rolling your kidney and liver

Although I'm not a fan of how Durden only posts in here to try and correct people, to his defense it was in the article I posted.

Black coffee or espresso. Drink a bottle of water after and go workout.
Throw some Beta Alanine in there if you're feeling frisky

Black coffee does nothing to me.

Yeah I drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day
it just helps keep me "normal"Most PWO are stimulants that you can easily develop a tolerance too. So what do y'all do then? Take more or cycle off?

Foam roller for the legs and I just started using a tennis ball for my upper back. It's been unbelievably tight and "pinched" and the tennis ball works wonders. Instantly more flexibility.
Back to the green foods powder dicussion -- I juice my veggies for the AM and later in the afternoon combine Chlorella and Spirulina. The stuff is amazing.

Well yeah if youve had a back injury it MAY not be the best idea, but foam rolling wasnt what caused your back injury.
How does the spine being a series of bones connecting have anything to do with being dangerous for foam rolling?
Again, if you end up "foam rolling your licer and kidney", your problem isnt foam rolling, its whatever muscular disease you probably have.
Plain and simple, its ignorant to say that foam rolling your lower back is dangerous.
- 35,007
- 16,906
The spine being made up of smaller bones has everything to do on why it's dangerous. The length of the bones are smaller than the diameter of a foam roller. Therefore you got a series of bones and nerves bending around the foam roller. Not that difficult to understand. And how is applying a force to your liver and kidneys not dangerous? I don't care much muscle you got around there, that **** isn't going to be enough to protect it from a constant force like that. It's unprotected.
And no, it's not because of some sort of muscular disease like you are assuming. You know you don't have to be condescending every time you post in here. We get it. You study this stuff. Step off your high horse
Youre not the only one with a background in science. This is simple physics. Period.

This isnt even high horse stuff. You cant come in here and start throwing around non-sense and get defensive when things are being questioned.
Is stretching the lower back dangerous? Is a massage dangerous? Is yoga dangerous?

Lol the lower spine is not so fragile that a foam roller is going to wreck it
The doctor you were talking about doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
Sometimes a medical degree doesn't exempt you from being stupid.
Believe me. I work in health care. I work with stupid doctors all the time
