Why Your Grandparents SHOULD Deadlift

Описание: We were told that rounding your back will destroy your spine.

That fear largely comes from a famous study that was done on dead pig spines.. loaded 80,000 times in a lab.

And from that, people concluded:
“Humans should never bend their backs.”

But living human spines adapt. Dead tissue in a lab does not.

0:00 Introduction

1:08 The Effects of Exercise on Health

2:29 The LIFTMOR Trial

3:52 Outro

In this short video, we break down:

The pig spine study that fueled spinal flexion fear

Why living tissue adapts to load

Why elite powerlifters round their backs safely

Why strength makes your spine more resilient

And most importantly —

We look at the Liftmor Trial, one of the largest human studies on heavy resistance training in middle-aged adults with low bone density.

After 8 months of heavy lifting:
• Bone mineral density improved
• Strength increased
• Pain decreased
• Confidence improved

The body adapts when exposed gradually.

The real danger isn’t bending your back.
It’s being sedentary and weak.
