My latest article via Stack.com discusses something very close and dear to my heart. My cat. I mean, deadlifts[footnote]Yes, I’m still on my honeymoon. And yes, Lisa knows I’m on my computer. It’s just for a few minutes though (while she’s putting sun screen on). Wait, what babe? Oh, I’m just looking for my sun-glasses and am no way on my computer. Coming![/footnote]
It was the best of spines, it was the worse of spines.
Forgive the literary pun, but when it comes to the action of deadlifting there’s no denying the fitting nature of the phrase.
Although there are unique circumstances where rounding of the spine is warranted and sometimes encouraged, save for the most elite lifters—who have spent years honing their craft and perfecting technique—for most people, most of the time, including you, rounding your back when performing a Deadlift is, well . . . not a good idea.
