    Thanks for this, Rip. After comparing the photos in the article to my last squat workout, I need to improve my lumbar extension at the bottom. I recall hearing you say once that lumbar hyperextension is not really a risk for deadlifts except for women or skinny guys. Is the same true on squat? Meaning, practically is there a risk of lumbar overextension as I focus on this? I'm 6'1, 230, and not particularly flexible. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Same is true on squat. If your abs are tight against the belt in front, your lumbar is not in overextension.
