I have posted about the Jefferson deadlift and the controversy around it. It's typically not loaded heavily and some physical therapists say it's proper to strengthen all possible ranges while others think the spine should always be kept "neutral" when loaded.

I used to do these seated good mornings and you necessarily have to bend your back, I went as high as 420. Amazingly an MRI showed no herniations but "possible 'effect' on spinal bone marrow" or something to that effect, translating from Swedish here, which I don't know what it even means and my GP looking at the results couldn't explain either :D

Must be somebody from Getbig who posted the comment on the original IG post:

I`ll pass........I have 3 bulging discs and arthritis in my lower back and neck.

All those years of heavy squatting fucked my back up, and my legs never grew no matter what rep scheme or intensity techniques I tried......thanks Joe Weider!!

I injured my back from squatting heavy so I said fuck that. Switched to machine hack squats (like the one pictured) - 15-20 reps a set- and legs grew like weeds. And back didn't hurt :)

I said that, and it was deleted. I should probably say it again.
