Yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying. Just an off-hand comment really. The CNS thing is a bit misunderstood and has become a "catchall" for overtraining in general.

But yeah, leg press plus back rounding is what I was talking about. Plus the danger of paying so much attention to quantity that you neglect quality. Not that in order to train for endurance you don't have to pay attention to quantity! But having two weeks to get ready and launching half-cocked into a prepratory phase could be a recipe for ...something. Neither here nor their really, just pay attention.

For the lower back you have probably a good 2 or 3 degree range of "safety", more or less, depending on the specific area. But a guy doing mucho reps on a leg sled where the butt is coming up, say, 40 to 50% of the time is more likely to hurt himself in an acute way (not to mention the long-haul damage) than, for instance, an accomplished lifter who lets his lower back round out a couple of degrees during a "max" lift.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
