How does scoliosis affect gains? I think I'm developing it and I won't tell a doctor, so I'm trying to find ways to balance my back muscles to fix it, but I'm concerned how it will affect my lifts.

You should turn the question around.
Scoliosis is not a joke m8.

It would just cause muscles to grow according to the direction your spine is bent, so it affects gains quite a lot.

Go see a damn doctor man, scoliosis is the real life gains goblin

So he can tell me it;s incurable and to deal with it? Not like
Personally I just don't do any lifts that involve the back. Isolationa all day erry day, a full body workout takes me like 2 hours.

hmm. I might have this shit.
oh well

this is the most american post ive ever seen. You guys really need affordable healthcare. ITS SCOLIOSIS.
>>37527550
how old are you? Its somewhat curable if you are just developing it

>>37526531
you don't "develop" it this late in age. it happens when youre young and already having a curve and it grows out as you age. at your age it is not curable you can only work on reduce the effect it has on your life. i know that because I do have scoliosis and a quite severe one.

So like I said, theres no point telling anyone, I know what they'll tell me. That's what I'm asking /fit/ what to do to get around it.

i can only give you the advice i was given in physical theraphy then. i was told that I should do more reps on the side your spine is curved towards because that is naturally the weaker side. also you should check if, like in my case, your pelvis is tilted and as a result one leg is longer than the other. if that is the case you have to also focus a bit more on the shorter one because that is also the weaker one. and really it doesnt hurt to go to the doctor especially if you get physial theraphy after and learn a bit more about scoliosis as a result. sorry if not everything is understandable, no englando native

Speak to a fucking physio, because they know a hell of a lot more about working around limitations than a bunch of random idiots on a message board.

Ive got mild scoliosis, but im still lifting, although you gotta adjust your form a slight bit, ie when i squat more pressure is in my right knee coz of muh scoli, so i adjust form and try and keep power even between both legs.
Lifting helped me with scoli, helped strength the muscles around it so it straightened out a bit
