ALL THESE KIDS WITH ROUNDED BACKS!!!!!   Help me please why is this?  Is this a generation thing?  are the kids lazier these days, is technoligy the problem?   what is the problem??

Maybe it’s because kids these days are more inclined to sit inside a watch TV or play video games or play on their computers instead of go outside and play. We all know what sitting all day at a desk can do to your posture and kids sitting inside all day might be seeing similar problems?

That’s an interesting explanation, maybe that’s the cause… I figured maybe it had to do with some hormone they are putting in the milk or something. Or maybe it’s because of High Fructose Corn Syrup, hahaha.

 
High fructose corn syrup and sun block are the two most likely culprits….

i was gonna say it’s obviously due to aliens, but then i started thinking that there could be some mass conspiracy between George Bush, the South Koreans and Coca Cola…
no it’s definitely aliens.

Wow that is interesting… How so Glenn?
 
I assumed their rounded backs were from sitting all day with bad posture, lack of activity and weak/tight muscles…
 
I know there are added chemicals in processed foods and particular sun screens which may increase estrogen levels … is this reasons?
 
 

maybe he has a very wild and exciting explanation, but i’m pretty sure it was a joke…

 
 
No Pete, I am totally serious.  Rounded backs are only one of many things caused by this insidious duo.  Other symptoms include low sperm count and ADD, the urge to wear long hair in men, and a lowered drive to keep your fingernails trimmed and short.

In high doses, they can also make a woman afraid to get her squat up or eat egg yolks.

It is a modern plague that is very unreported by the mainstream media.

I’ve also seen studies from universities linking them to increased rates of heart disease, lowered insulin sensitvity, a tendency to buy cats over dogs as pets, and a habit of wearing spandex shorts and tube sox to the gym.
But we all know how reliable university research is. I also once saw a graph that showed a correlation between the introduction of HFCS into our food system, and the prevalence of ABBA cd sales.

Axe Body Wash and skim milk has been found to cause weak backs in teenaged boys.  

Glenn..
 
I know you secretly wear axe body wash, drink skim milk, wear a blonde wig, own at least 3 cats, and egg eat whites when know one is watching.. I know the real truth!!  

Whats the solution then? 

 
 
Laura,
You caught me on the cat thing.  When I lived in Wichita Falls, I had 3 cats.  Two we rescued when I had a renter move out of one of my houses and leave behind a litter of kittens.  I let my son, who was maybe 5 at the time, name them and he named the grey one “good cat” and the black one “bad cat”.  We then had another cat basically adopt us when he came home with good cat and bad cat and just walked in the house and never left.  He liked to hang out under stuff, like under the bed, under the couch, etc.  So my son named him “secret cat”.  So, we had good cat, bad cat, and secret cat.  To balance this out, at the time I had 4 dogs.  Scooter, lucky, maggie, and mack.

 

You should know this Jon.  The solution is to get your squat up.

 

It is a fact, Axe body wash increases the aromatization of testosterone into estrogen.  

I heard that wearing Board shorts can also cause weak backs and legs!  Is this true?  If so what should all the crossfiters do!  If you take away board shorts from the crossfiters than I dont think they could ever cross fit again!!!!!!

 
I am not sure about that.  But I am pretty sure that while hair gel isnt a cause of low testosterone, it is a symptom.

Coach dont be mad that I have great hair!  

Wow, psychology researchers would have a field day with the cat naming thing: why did he name the black cat the bad one? Is it underlying sociological racist feelings? LOL…

That’s cute to know that you have that soft sensitive side, although you cover it up with that hard exterior and hide behind having dogs.

This is so true! So many kids have rounded backs these days it isn;t even funny. I watch a lot of weightlifting meets and I see all the kids coming up from cleans with rounded backs. Or, at the gym I lift at when they squat it looks like they are the pacman coming out of a squat. Pretty crazy, and sad.

what do you think this is caused from??

why do you think this is more common now then in the past??
 
Sitting down all day?
 
Poor form and instuctions?
 
lack of activity?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes!! All of that. Parents not forcing them to gou out and play. I put most of the blame on the parents, because kids generally to what they are told if they are raised right from a young age. They will also eat whatever they are told because they wouldn’t know any different. The same is for posture. They generally become what their parents LET them become..

True but it society to… Kids have more homework and test then ever… Most kids don’t go out and play any more… Would you want your kid playing outside by himself?
 
When i was younger there were always kids playing outside were i was able to join them…
 
Now they have stupid play dates…
 
 
It is totally the parents fault but also society and our culture.
I must say… more kids at least in my area play competitive sports more then ever… we have kids playing 3-4 sports a year so i am confused how they are saying kids are not as active.
 
I know for sure they food choices are worse though
 

Hey llulko I dasgree with you comment about the kids haveing more tests and homework these days.  I feel that it’s the oppoisite, the school systems have gone down hill fast.  Yes the active kids are doing three sports but the lazy kids are playing video games all day.  Everytime A kis comes into my gym with a rounded back, fat, and lazy, the first thinhg there parnts say is that “all he does is play videos games, we are trying to get him more active”.    I have never heard once that they have to much homewrok, thats hawg wash!      

I do agree with Jon here…I think the whole homework thing isn’t accurate. I think it is the same as always. The education system really hasn’;t changed at all. If anything, they are getting SOFTER on the kids.

I agree with you guys… trust me i am not giving these lazy kids an excuse… however maybe it is a location thing…the school systems in my area which have extremely high ratings definitely give more homework then when i was a kid..
 
I cant speak for other cities/states however i know for sure kids are getting more homework’s and test by me.. It’s really a shame…
 

Just because some kids have more homework, does not mean that they are slaves to school and have no time to do activities.  these are excusses, and what did you mean at the end of your last post?  something about its a shame.

Haha I know we ALL agree on the fact that kids NEED to be more active and get away from video games. The rest is just hogwash

 
 I am not disagreeing with you guys.. kids are definitely moving less!
 
 
i was saying… its a shame that kids are not as activew hat ever the excuse is..
