STOP Deadlifting Like This (Save Your Spine!)

[staebs]

Get the researchers to lift like that for a year and see how they feel then lol. Would be more interesting if they compared a neutral thoracic to a flexed thoracic spine to see which was more efficient, as the latter can be a good thing in some cases.

[dumb.luck]

Even non lifters cringe at looking at someone dead lifting with a curved back

"And that's why we read the full paper" 👏 👏 YES YES YES, as an academic let me say thank you from all of us who still know what deep work is

[MacRazy]

The key is to lift with your back using a jerking, twisting motion. 🤣

[kogenmurpho]

what about how justin lee deadlifts, he says that as long as your back does not become more rounded through the lift there should be no problem

[ExecutionSommaire]

If you deadlift with the cat form, you also get the 9 lives to get a reset from injuries

[WillWinterz]

Great example of why studies can be wrong and just because 1 study comes out doesn’t mean it is truly justified.

Went over my head😅😅 basically how to perform deadlift finally??

[gcruishank]

Omg, where did that “recommendation” come from? Rounding your back like that is the fastest route to snap city

I deadlift tiny (like 20-30 kg) weight with my back rounded to help me with my lower back problems. It really does help. I don't have this piercing pain when I tilt forward like I used to have

A fully curved spine is in fact stronger. Until an injury that leaves you unable to walk or permanently destroys your disks.

Man, some researchers should find different jobs. Preferably ones where the biggest question answered is “would you like to hear about our car insurance”

[Bored]

Good God that study sounds like it can be dangerous 😵‍💫

I have been lifting with my spine for over 10 years. I have had 15 major surgeries and I am still alive. My doctors believe that I am an idiot and will end up paralysed, but here I am, still lifting with my spine!

[shantanusapru]

What we *can* say by reading the study (& talking/listening to actual experts) is that deadlifting with a rounded back *MAY* not be as detrimental for *some* lifters as many seem to think.
In no way is it 'more efficient', and the title of that study is highly misleading!
This is why I always advice people to not read just the title or abstract but the full paper!

[joshjones]

So the paper is correct. Your body is stronger/more efficient but you increase the risk of injury. The paper doesn’t claim it’s a better way of lifting, only that it is more efficient.

Speaking of, the claim that they made up their own definition of “efficiency” is dumb. I would say that moving the same weight with less muscular force is more efficient.

We do something similar in climbing with crimps. We put the force more on the tendons and skeletal structure to increase our strength on small holds, but that also increases the risk of injury.

Most papers titles aren't the founding normally its just the hypothesis or something to grap people attention.

[dZorroIII]

This alone should give pause to anyone who has a habit of believing any and all "science".

When science honestly accounts for all variables, it's right.

But the ego and shortsightedness of humanity leads even scientists to jump to incorrect conclusions. I say again. Even scientists fail to science correctly.

As always, practice garners greater understanding than study.

[TheHamsterMaster]

Whoever did this "research" should get fired.

Watching body builders lifts hurts my own back, idk how they don't get serious back issues
