I'm personally convinced that the cause of back problems is sitting way to much.
That’s one aspect of it but the main cause is weakness of the lower back muscles. This is in the case of office workers, if you have a manual job the causes could be many. But all of the causes can be addressed to a certain degree with deadlifts to strengthen to lower back muscles. But people don’t want to lift weights so 🤷🏽♂️
Can't it be addressed with any regular, properly practiced sport, which many people don't do over 30? Lifting seems like effort without the fun of a game.
It is certainly 1000 times better than doing nothing, but even athletes lift weights to complement their training because there’s nothing quite like targeting the muscles directly. But like others have commented running is also good for strengthening the back, so any sports where there’s a lot of running like soccer, football or basketball will help.
Weightlifting can be a game itself though, at least for me it is. The game is attempting to best my previous numbers every session. Very much a single player game but a game nonetheless.
Lifting is an RPG
Unfortunately there is no cheat code or dupe glitch to help me beat lifting, as it is way too difficult. I chose the "physically disabled" trait at birth only to learn that it was the hardmode and no way to revert, and it's pay to win to overcome. 2/10 game
That's why I have a character sheet with all my stats.
