Pretty much every client ever, no every person I meet. Ever. Has some sob story about lower back pain. Much like fat people they all have some excuse “oh I slipped a disk’ “When I was a kid” and my favorite ‘I had a car accident” well you should learn to drive!
Off Rant.
Lower Cross Syndrome is perhaps the most common complaint. This occurs when there is a lack of stability in the abdominals compounded by tightness in the ham strings, and hips flexors. The causes of this are commonly linked back to a pathological hatred of resistance work from women and footballers (that are kind of the same thing) Anyway, in this unfounded fear of ‘bulking up and slowing down’ they become a ‘Stuff’ trainer (remember the notion of doing lots of stuff to melt your body in to some kilo figure magically plucked out of the air?) they then exacerbate this condition by going to the gym and spend hours walking on a treadmill that pulls their feet back for them, taking their posterior chain out of the equation and tightening their hip flexors. Some even take it a step further and take a death grip of the handle isolating their lower abdominals. Take the complete lack of bone mineral density improvement along with no real chance at muscle gain and you are exponentially increasing the chances of a lower back catastrophe.

As you can see here, Lower back problems are common and caused by a number of factors.
Think about this, what do you want to look like, one of those Kenyan marathon runners or an Olympic 100 meter sprinter?
If you want to lose the lower back pain, get off the treadmill and get back on the road. Sprinters, sprint, they also lift heavy ass weights. They do their squats like their mum told them to eat their veggies and on that note for the love of god throw out that stupid diet book. If it does not grow, or eats something that grows, don’t eat it!
