@zaccupples: Do you ever wonder why some peoples lower ribs stick out? 

When the lower back is excessively arched, the rib cage gets pushed up and forward. 

This isn’t a BAD thing and commonly occurs when producing lots of force. But, it can reduce overall mobility. 

Exercises that reduce the arch in the lower back and to get the ribs down and back reduce rib flare and improve mobility.

Activating the hamstrings and reaching the arms is a good way to reduce the lower back arch and drop the ribs.

Hooklying is a great way to accomplish this. #physicaltherapist #physicaltherapists #strengthcoach
