Scoliosis (Curved Spine) and Competing?
I was wondering if anyone who has had a mild case of Scoliosis ever competed in Men's Physique before? My spine is not severely curved...I believe under 30 degrees. However, you can certainly notice it on my lower back...I included some pictures so you can look.
Im just curious if the judges, (if I ever was to compete), would nock this down?
Would love to hear if someone else has this same problem.
Cheers.

I have 23 degrees of it, can't do anything about it.Originally Posted by hunterpauley
Bodybuilding is all about image not numbers, when you're up on stage your lifting stats and bodyfat % means nothing to the judges.

i have scoliosis. like 23 degree curve. i competed a little over a month ago and loved it.
i dont think it was noticeable really,
my main gripe is one of my hips protrudes out which can be seen from an angle, not really straight on

sorry picture didnt show up before...Nice back bro. Your right its not very noticeable really. With the muscle you have now, you know the spine isnt moving now haha..."Each workout is like a brick in a building, and every time you go in there and do a half-ass workout, you're not laying a brick down.
