If your deadlift is going backwards, your life usually is too. I’ve seen it over and over again. When someone’s deadlift starts to suffer, it’s rarely just about strength. It’s usually a back issue creeping in, poor decisions stacking up, and eventually something gives.

On the surface, it looks simple: grab a kettlebell in one hand and walk.

People love to throw around studies showing that a large percentage of asymptomatic individuals have disc bulges, degeneration, or other “abnormalities” on imaging. And they’re not wrong.
