OP is your girlfriend Sassy Black Woman?

I've heard, without any confirmed sources, that ab wheels can be beneficial for people with scoliosis.

Again, I stress this has not been confirmed. Do some research or ask more knowledgeable people than myself, but if it does help would be worth it.

Best of luck to your girl OP.

I don't think /fit/ is qualified to answer this

I'll look into it, makes sense since it can be a fairly intense core workout that also targets other muscles with no impact. Thanks a lot!

Well there used to be a couple of knowledgeable people back in the day so I figured I'd post and see what's up.

This. /fit/ is to discuss roids and broscience

Well it depends on what degree of scoliosis you have. I'm being extra careful because my gf has had a spinal fusion surgery, but perhaps you should avoid barbell squats as well.

I don't know about deadlifts, try seeking experience from people who had varying degrees of scoliosis on the internet.

But most of all strengthen your core muscles, all the muscles surrounding your spine so that if you can't correct your curvature, at least make sure your spine doesn't get injured or deviated further.

I've also seen cases of people correcting very minor scoliosis with foam rollers, maybe check into that and most of all be careful and measure yourself, be honest about what you can lift and what you can't do, but don't sell yourself short either.

I fucked a girl with scoliosis once. Her back looked hella weird when I pounded her doggystyle.

if she had a significant enough spinal curvature to warrant corrective surgery, I'd be leery of performing any compoud movement which places a compressive load on her spine. I'd say things like heavy standing OHP, and squats would be out of the picture

Your girlfriend could still get glute gains from heavy glute bridges, cable kickbacks, lunges or split squats. I'd sub cable pull throughs for deadlifts. There's also this device called a hip lift which attaches a harness to your hips and allows you to progressively overload on a squatting motion, without loading the spine - they arent available in most gyms though.

for upper body I'd focus on a horizontal row, vertical row, then midback isolations/scapular strengthening like you have.

I'd do something like this maybe

Lower A
glute bridges
cable pull throughs
split squats/lunges
quad/ham isolations
paloff press/planks/"stirring the pot"

Upper A
staggered stance cable chest press with a + (kind of like your serratus punch thing you wrote, just standing and able to progressively overload)
DB press/DB bench
vertical pull (pullups/LPD)
horizontal pull (bent over rows if non-provoking, otherwise a machine)
bi/tris

then I'd repeat this twice a week, with maybe switching to a more anterior chain dominant movement on Leg day B vs doing bridges first

This is all great stuff, thanks a bunch.

>I'd be leery of performing any compoud movement which places a compressive load on her spine. I'd say things like heavy standing OHP, and squats would be out of the picture

Yeah precisely.

I hadn't thought about substituting deadlifts with cable pull throughs, that's a great suggestion, thank you very much.

Also hadn't thought of glute bridges. Probably will suggest it once her core is stronger and can withstand it.

What's a hip lift? Is it like a belt? Never heard of it.

Thanks again!

This. She should build a program with a physiotherapist (probably wrong word, but you know what I mean). The surgeon should be able to recommend someone or they'll have those services in-house. I'm surprised she wasn't given specific exercises to do.

Wow, and there I thought having minor scolio was bad.

>>38535339
Always count your blessings brah

>>38530661
It's a good thing Lamar gant stayed away from any exercises that loaded his spine or else he wouldn't have pulled the highest percentage body weight dead lift of all time, it might have caused issues with his scoliosis lol
