    Possible free replacement FJR?

    Bar Lowering Kit???

    I've had the same problem with my back and sitting up straight. My solution didn't cost a dime, just a little sweat. Lots of sit-ups, leg raises and stretching to strengthen lower back muscles. Doesn't completely cure the problem, but helps a lot.
