It's not very talked about in the community, but when you deadlift weights as heavy as I do, you have a risk of injuring your thoracic and cervical spine too.

In this video we show you how to properly protect not only your lumbar spine, but the rest of your spine too. Wear not only one belt, but THREE, in order to protect your entire body. If your gym does not have three belts available for each person, then find a better gym.

Contrary to what you might believe, you shouldn't wear the belt around your neck to protect your cervical spine. That will cause you to block the blood that should run to and from your brain, and you will pass out.

Therefore, the correct way to protect your cervical spine is to wear the belt around your face. The belt will hold your head in place, preventing it from wobbling and breaking your neck.

Also, you should ONLY pull with the sumo stance, as it is the only safe stance for your spine.

Stay safe from snap city brahs.
