Well said, Eero! Back when I started serious training 60 years ago, the stiff legged deadlift with a rounded back was regarded as a back builder par excellence. As my late friend, training authority Bradley J. Steiner, commented, "It will give you back like spring steel." In all my years of training, I only hurt my back once, doing barbell bent-over rows...and that was about 40 years ago.

Wonderful work 😍
Thank you very much
Perfect 👌✌️
Strong like fishing rod
I guess in order to be able to do that you have to stabilize your spine very well before attempting to lift weights from a rounded back position. Basically rounded back lift is a full range motion. But again in order to access it your spine stabilizing muscles and tendons need to be strong enough for the weight you are going for. And now the straight back rule starts to make a lot sense because you can't rush weights and have to go slow with the weight you are lifting but that is bad for sports. I wonder how would athletes have changed if starting from a rounded back position would have become a rule in deadlifting.
More like you need to be able to stabilize your spine, not learning one before the other because the important part is the contraction of the muscles the protect the spine. Stability takes away flexibility and mobility, ask any powerlifter who's squats over a thousand pounds because they are so stable that they can't even tie their own shoes
Keeping the toes up and pushing with the heels will cause more glute activation
My observation is as follows:
A straight or mildly hyperextended spine enables me to deadlift and row significantly more weight.
Lifting with a rounded spine CAN be safe if the weight is significantly less than the weight used since the range of motion for the spinal erectors is greater.
Straight spine = heavier load but shorter ROM.
Round spine = lighter load but longer ROM.
I've found that it's better to alternate and that improving one lift can enable improvements in the other. Heavier loads strengthen the bones and ligaments. Greater ROM helps develop muscle control.
I feel like rounded back lifting can work if the person has enough flexibility and mobility in their spine and hamstrings. Ppl with tightness just end up compensating and then getting injured.
anyone should be able to potentially improve it over time
if the muscles are strong enough then the structure should be solid as well
at least that happened to me, I now use a backless chair to work from home without any issue, I strengthen my back progressively with lots of squats and adding weight little by little
no back pain, no nothing, I keep training quite often
And now I am even doing better than when I was much younger. Diet, helped lots as well, the right amount of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, superfoods, no doubt, all combined got me to improve my quality of life drastically. I even now coach people about that.
My lower back gets sore very fast doing this, but not to the point of unbearable pain. I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly.
stop doing this now. check out dr rob backbreaking exercises to stop doing immediately
Need to work on 1) your core look mcgill big 3. 2) your spine is moving vertebra by vertebra, not the whole movement from lower back. Need to search up zercher back movement 3) your range of motion and flexibility is at the lower end. Dont force yourself to go all the way down. Go where range of motion allows you to go
I just find it really hard to take the advice about "real strength" seriously when in your videos you struggle (act like you struggle?) with baby weights. maybe our definitions of strength are different..
