Are you prone to low back pain but still wanna get your lift in? 💪🏼Make sure you are doing these 3 things to protect your back and set yourself up for success! 1️⃣Most importantly -engage your core, loading a neutral spine is safest all around! 2️⃣ Take a seat. Switching from standing to sitting decreases the loads placed on the lower back (supported sitting if adjustable bench is available) 3️⃣Decrease your weight! Sometimes a 5 pound decrease is enough to take that twinge/ ache away. And remember, your spine is more important than your PR! 💪🏼 Stay healthy, friends!
