In contrast, the exercise also appears to result in unique compression and shear load ratios in the lumbar spine that may account for the irritation in some people’s backs, who otherwise tolerate very heavy loads.

I’m finding dysfunctional psoas in 80-90% of populations and see a strong relationship with core dysfunction and inevitably performance.
