Lordosis

I was told that i might have lordosis and when i think about it; its a definite possibility as i always have low back pain, my back squat sucks depsite working on it for years and i tend to neglect doing isolation work on my abdominal muscles. What should i do to fix this problem? Thinking about it even more a trainer told me i hyperextend my back on deadlifts maybe thats just further proof.

your abs and lower back are responsible for stabilizing your torso, and of course this lordosis is caused by muscle imbalance and bad posture. to help fix this u are going to want to stretch the hamstrings and work on strengthening the weak muscles. try not to sit in a static position for too long without getting up to walk around, work on stretching your hip flexors and hamstrings, and work on strengthening your abs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Current: 19, 5'11", 190@7% bench:305 squat:370(atg) deadlift:475 Goals: 4plate squat, 5plate dead "obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"

Okay thanks this is what i decided to do. You can critique it if you think it is no good or should add/take away stuff. Do Daily Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch Seated Bent-over Lower Back Stretch Bridges 3x a week Leg Press Leg Curls Seated Crunch Captain's Chair workout I'm normally not for isolations but as i've been squatting for almost 3 years (2 years proper atg) and i still have this problem, i think its time i add this stuff in. I will probably keep them pretty light and do them post workout. I think this really is a limiting factor on my squat and deadlift yet never really thought about it until my doctor did this last physical. Is it reasonable to expect this to go away to some extent and when it does could i expect my lifts to start going up a bit again without pain?
