I will have to look into that but for now, just reading the articles and will look it up on youtube.
When I was writing the question, I was thinking of cat stretches and how you "arch" your back but in the lift, it really would be better described as "rounding", just the opposite of what I was trying to say. haha |
"Rounding" happens a wee bit when you are doing MAXIMAL load lifting (90% of your 1 rep maximum) but it should be happening in the upper back (between the shoulder blades) and only slightly. It just happens when you lift at near max loads and is just mechanics. Don't confuse the two though.
Lower back rounding should never occur and you should avoid it at all points if it is happening lower the weight and work on form.
Here is an excellent 3 part series on Dead lifting should answer any questions you might have.
