Try stretching your hamstrings, usually some people get back pain cause their hamstrings are tight, so when they lean forward all the strain is on the back. try also strengthing your abs and core muscles. Just in case also get your posture assessed by a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor.

Most people don't really have tight hamstring they have tight quads because they suffer from lordosis, If feels like tight hamstrings because the quads are pulling your pelvis down causing your hamstrings to stretch.

To say that he is being affected by this because it is a problem "most people have" is not the best line of thinking, especially when you consider that most people with injuries are not functioning like "most people". Although, without further information, there really isn't anything good we can tell him. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god. Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
