Many people who suffer from low back pain are told not to lift heavy things due to the theory that this is bad for the back. This is simply NOT the case. Our backs have evolved to bend, lift and twist and training movements such as the deadlift in which we lift a weight from the ground, is a great way to enhance the strength and resilience of our back.

One of the most common causes of lower back injury is incorrect lifting technique. 💡 How do you protect your back when lifting? When lifting and carrying a heavy object, get close to the object, bend your knees and tighten your stomach muscles. Use your leg muscles to support your body as you stand up. Hold the object close to your body. Maintain the natural curve of your back. #lifting #liftingweights #properlifting #deadlift #deadlifts #deadlifting #deadliftform #crossfit #crossfitlife #cross
