Deadlifting Is Bad For Your Back? Here’s the truth.


The deadlift is a fantastic exercise for your posterior chain and it’s not bad for your low back!

It’s true that there are many different back exercises that can be done and many people overlook the deadlift, but it isn’t bad for your low back. Furthermore, it is beneficial because it forces you to maintain an upright torso and strong core while gluteus muscles work hard to keep you stable.

Deadlifting can build impressive back strength and actually help protect you from injury. It will build strength in your lower body as well as improve stability, posture and balance.

Make sure your technique is dialed in and start adding in more deadlifts every week!
