Hey any thoughts on starting strength? Been struggling to work out by my self so gunna see a trainer who specialises in starting strength I’ve heard it’s good. Hopefully it gets my ass into gear.

      Back rounding during deadlifting is a hot topic for debate within the powerlifting community. I will say a little back rounding is okay but if you cannot maintain flexion of your lats and back sufficient to keep it from bending to the limits of how far your spine can bend forward without any load, you need to stop and reassess your form. As with all weight training, always warm up gradually and ALWAYS STOP IF IT HURTS!
