  Lower back problems are very common. They can cause a constant dull ache or a sudden sharp pain. Lower back pain has a variety of possible causes, which range from poor posture to underlying medical conditions. However, certain stretches may help by relieving pain and improving flexibility. In this article, we discuss the types of back conditions that may benefit from stretches. We also provide a list of stretches that may help reduce pain and improve flexibility in the lower back. Lower back problems are one of the  most common Trusted Source  reasons for visiting the doctor or taking time off work. These issues can cause short- or long-term pain and difficulty moving.

  Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, but females also have small amounts of it. It is a steroid hormone, produced in men’s testicles and women’s ovaries ( 1 Trusted Source ). The adrenal glands also produce small amounts. During puberty in boys, testosterone is one of the main drivers of physical changes like increased muscle, deeper voice and hair growth. However, having optimal levels is also important throughout adulthood and even during old age. 1. Exercise and Lift Weights Exercise is one of the most effective ways to prevent many lifestyle-related diseases. Interestingly, it can also boost your testosterone. A large review study found that people who exercised regularly had higher testosterone levels. In the elderly, exercise increases testosterone levels, fitness and reaction time  New research in  obese  men suggests that increased physical activity was even more beneficial than a weight loss diet for increasing testosterone levels  Resistance tr...

Most people tend not to consider their back very much until the day it lets them down and they’re forced to spend hours lying in agony on a wooden floor. Even regular gym-goers will generally focus on more glamorous muscles and spurn the opportunity to address the stress and strain a deskbound lifestyle can place on your back. The problem? Your shoulders internally rotate, and this results in tight pecs and a stiff neck. This often leads to a weakness in the lower back – at best causing pain and discomfort, at worst risking serious injury – and the problem is only aggravated if you add further stress on the chest and shoulders with endless pressing exercises. The solution is obvious: place greater emphasis on your back training. Step forward, the bent-over row. Your back muscles are the primary beneficiaries of the bent-over row, and as they increase in strength your posture will also improve so you don’t slump as much. Directly stimulating your lats, traps, rhomboids and rotator cuffs...

  Triceps are both simple and complex.  On the one hand, they have a basic job: to move your arms from contraction (bent) to extension (straight) via a hinge joint. On the other hand, their anatomy is deceptively intricate. They’re made up of three heads, two of which are similar and one of which goes its own way with a completely different attachment. So, no single exercise does a great job of working all three. But what does the best job of hitting each head? And what doesn’t do a particularly good job of hitting any of them? We’ve read the scientific studies. We have the answers. If we start at the bottom, all three heads attach to a wide tendon connected to the ulna (forearm bone). The  lateral head  lies on the outside and, at the top, attaches to the humerus (upper arm bone). The  medial head  lies mostly below the other two heads (it’s visible on either side nearest the elbow) and also attaches at the top to the humerus, below the lateral attachment....

  Overview With a lineage that stretches back to the 1950s, the  Chevrolet Corvette  is a mainstay of performance-car culture, and the current C8 model takes that tradition to a new place with a thumping V-8 mounted behind the passenger compartment and a still-affordable price tag. Performance in the supercar range and surgically precise handling make the Corvette a track day darling when equipped with the Z51 package—but its ride over rough stretches is unexpectedly smooth and its cabin is comfortable enough for daily use. Both a coupe and a convertible are offered, and the coupe has a lift-off roof panel for open-air motoring. Storage areas behind the engine and in front of the cabin offer enough cargo space for a weekend away, and its attainable price, exceptional performance, and surprising practicality make it  a 10Best winner . What's New for 2022? To celebrate the  C8.R  race car's inaugural season,  Chevrolet  is offering  a limited-e...

  The Mazda  MX-5 marketplace is in a very different place to where it was a few years ago. Decent original NA models are getting hard to come by, so unless you want a ratty one, you need to pay a lot of money. The coveted ‘Mk2.5’ NBs are becoming highly sought after, and   ND MX-5s   haven’t been around long enough to dip below the magic £10,000 mark. The NC, on the other hand, has never been more tempting. Being a lot younger than NAs and NBs, they’re far less troublesome to own, and can now be bought very cheaply indeed. They’re also a great platform for mods. To find out what you need to know before taking the plunge, we sat down with Neil McKay of Brackley-based Mazda tuning specialist  BBR GTI  to find out what you  need to know before taking the plunge. In late 2008, the ‘NC1’ became the ‘NC2’ via a facelift that added new front and rear bumpers, fresh light clusters and side skirts. Inside there was more legroom (“knocking knees on door cards” ...

  Once considered lost forever, the original 1968 Ford Mustang GT from the Warner Bros. movie “Bullitt” is headed for Washington, D.C. The iconic car is on display at the National Mall in celebration of Mustang’s 54th birthday and the 50th anniversary of “Bullitt.” As one of the most recognized cars in movie history, Ford recently surprised the automotive world by  unveiling the original Mustang  from “Bullitt” at the 2018 North American International Auto Show. The car was driven personally by Steve McQueen in the movie, including its unforgettable chase scene on the streets of San Francisco. The car’s whereabouts had been a mystery for decades. It was one of two duplicate Mustang GTs used in the movie. After filming, the cars went their separate ways. The hero vehicle driven by McQueen in the movie was sold by Warner Bros. to a private buyer, and the other – used in many of the jumps during the famous chase scene – was sent to a salvage yard. That jumper vehicle resurfa...

  Overview With two fewer doors and sleeker proportions, the 2020 BMW M4 is a sportier-looking alternative to the  M3 sedan . Still, these German siblings have a lot in common, including heady performance numbers. Both feature a brilliant twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that is as refined as it is powerful, and their "M" designation means they're descendants of  BMW's storied subdivision . Available as a coupe or convertible, the M4 is zestier than the regular  4-series . While its cornering grip and stopping power are as impressive as any, the two-door Bimmer doesn't reward its driver as much as its forebearers. Despite this shortcoming, the 2020 M4 has the pedigree and stats to attract enthusiasts. What's New for 2020? BMW  sunsets the first-gen M4 (previously called the M3 coupe and convertible) with the 2020 model year. Before the company announces the next generation, it will offer a special edition. Believe it or not, it's called the  M4 Edition ///M ...

  This is the most unusual issue of HOT ROD you've ever seen, as it only has one story outside of the monthly editorial departments, and we've pushed aside several of those to save as many pages as possible for this singular tale. It's the story of hot rodding itself. It's far from the complete story, we admit, but is a remarkable living history as told by 144 surviving cars featured in HOT ROD magazine from 1948 through the '90s. These special cars and about 130 newer ones gathered at the HOT ROD Homecoming in March 2013 at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, to celebrate the 65th anniversary of HRM. It was the world's largest collection of historic feature vehicles, and many were not the hero cars that have been vaunted over the past half-dozen decades—instead, the show was thick with small-town rides, hot rods that haven't been in public in many years, cars that have been used regularly, some that had been freshly restored, and others that were barn finds...

  Drag racer Shirley Muldowney (born June 19, 1940) was the first woman to break through in that sport, making her virtually a household name in the 1970s on par with daredevil motorcycle jumper Evel Knievel. Muldowney broke onto the scene in 1965 with a license to compete in the supercharged gasoline dragster category. To no surprise, a lot of people turned their noses up at a female competitor in this male-driven sport. That didn’t stop her. Not only did “Cha Cha” Muldowney go on to set a slew of world records, she also touted her femininity with a pink dragster. She endured a terrible crash in 1984 that could’ve ended her life, but not even that stopped her. After months of rehabilitation, she returned to the track to set a whole new range of world records until retiring from the sport in 2003. The First Woman of Drag Racing Shirley Muldowney was the first woman of drag racing, a certifiably macho sport that entails placing a driver inside a specially constructed 20-plus-foot fo...

  While I can't tolerate seeing a hot girl standing in a Starbucks line taking a selfie, I think we can all agree that when a simple picture becomes a video, it can turn into gold. So with people taking Snapchats and posting Vines all the time, some athletes decide to get in on the action—and they don't always turn out as they hoped. Check out these terrifying athlete POV videos, and you'll see what not to do when having a camera in your face. Scooter Sidelined So while this dude probably doesn't have ladies lined up to ride on the back of his two-wheeler, walking away after eating pavement from this crash shows he's a bit of a badass. Big Wave Rider If there's one sport I wish I could have learned earlier, it's surfing. It's definitely not easy, but being able to ride a wave like Kalani Robb does would be completely cool. This video might not make you fear the sport, but it's one that reminds you how fast some of those waves can be. Ball to Crotch T...
