It's way too common for people to narrow in on 1 isolated aspect of fitness without looking at the bigger picture and the overall implications an exercise will bring on the body.

Surely doing back squats will make you stronger and doing more back squats and this may preserve your ego in the short run.

However, people rarely consider the unintended consequences that come along when you place a barbell right on top of your spine and crush your vertebras down against gravity.

SERIOUSLY, why would you want to do that to your precious spine?

Apart from setting yourself up for chronic back pain and a bulged disk, when the overall movement of the spine is impareid due to vertebraes being compressed against each other, other parts of the body are going to have to make up for those limitations, leading to full body compensatory patterns.

The common story people have is that they get away with it in their 20s and even 30s, start regretting it when they hit their 30s and 40s, they live in pain every single day, feel old and slowly have to start giving up on their favourite activities.

The question you need to ask yourself is it necessary to destroy your body in order to see an isolated gain in strength? We certainly don't believe so

Sitting with a rounded lower back can have profound effects on men’s and women’s sexual function because this posture shortens and tightens the pelvic floor muscles, which are our primary sexual muscles

When the pelvic floor muscles are tight and weak, they cannot exert their power and strength, and the end result can be weak or nonexistent or***ms, less sexual arousal, less stamina, or weak ejaculations.
