Why does my spine stick out when i bend? is this normal?

Spine: You most likely are talking about the spinous process, or the "back end of the vertebra". This is a spot for muscle and ligamentous attachment and can be very prominent on some people. If you have concerns, see a spine specialist or your primary care physician.
