The video has changed. Why was it replaced by the bender ball? Is it because the ball pushes into the spine? I'd very much like to know what the original exercise was. Can you describe it? Back bends are done in yoga, but we are always taught not to bend the lower back (at least the good yoga teachers say this). The bend is actually supposed to come from the thoracic spine. They call these "heart openers". If you don't open the heart, the lower back collapses and and that is very bad. So the benderball is bad? The video has changed.

Demayo: I believe she's talking about the sport. She is either referring to: - inexperienced weightlifters who achieve extension not in the segments buffered by the longissimus but rather in the lower lumbar (L1-L5). If you look at experience weightlifters and powerlifters this muscle (longissimus) is hypertrophied like crazy because they are distributing the load correctly.

I see an ad for something ridiculaous called a Bender ball. Nothing with a doctor as decsribed in the text. Did I miss something or did this video change?
