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.

One of the most common causes of lower back injury is incorrect lifting technique. 💡 How do you protect your back when lifting?

Hold the object close to your body. Maintain the natural curve of your back. #lifting #liftingweights #properlifting #deadlift #deadlifts #deadlifting #deadliftform #crossfit #crossfitlife #cross
