Machines You Should Try: Glute-Ham Developer
This machine is a Godsend, for real. The horizontal positioning of the glute-ham developer (GHD) provides a greater moment arm (or bigger LEVER) of the torso on the hips when in full extension as compared to the more often seen 45 degree back extension. This basically means that at the top of the lift, with the greatest contraction, you are at the greatest mechanical DISadvantage being completely perpendicular to the line of gravity. This gives you the hardest possible workout for your glutes that you can ask for.
The Dreaded Lower Neck Hump - Dowager’s Hump
The cervico-thoracic junction is where the top of the thoracic spine (T1) and the bottom of the cervical spine (C7) come into contact with one another. This articulation point contains both of the previously mentioned vertebrae’s large spinous processes that jut out. With years of “poor” posture, sometimes people will develop fatty and tissue deposits in the region as a way to counteract the forces of a forward head creating that unsightly camel hump that many will try to get rid of via invasive surgery or injection.

After mustering up all of the intra-abdominal pressure he could, with a mighty push he gave it his all...
