I don't necessarily have back pain from my breasts, but I'm definitely familiar with it as I've had scoliosis since childhood, wore a back brace as an adolescent and have had two spinal fusion surgeries.

I had previously done P90X and was getting great results (I'm 24 and didn't do much of ANYTHING active the first 20 years of my life, have always been pretty "skinny-fat"). I loved going from zero to strong and fit and saw major muscle growth and…
