And as you know, I don't know of anyone who's been involved with more world-class deadlifters than myself through the back pain relationship. So, you know, on one hand I can say, well, I love the deadlift. And on another hand, I can say, I hate the deadlift. I can tell you, Andrew,

that if you take the clients who ask for consults now and they're under 30 years of age, I will say half of them will say in their interview with me, it started with a deadlift. So I would say that is getting onto the category of an epidemic. And yet I will still tell you, I love the deadlift. So there's a lot of variables here, a lot of moving parts. The deadlift,

is a tremendously neurologically dense exercise. Whether you're lifting a light weight or a heavy weight, I love these bodybuilding charts that say, oh, well, to do a deadlift, it lights up the erector spinae, the glutes, and the quads, perhaps. Every single muscle of the body should be involved at a deadlift. Every single muscle. There are no agonists and antagonists.

Every muscle, the full fascial complex, will be tightened up to take the slack out to pull a bar from the ground. That's a good deadlift. That's what minimizes the risk of injury. And as you know, competitive deadlifters will actually put on a exoskeleton of even more fascial stiffness. It's called a lifting suit. But not everybody, obviously, is in that category.

Now I'm going to talk about one of the most potent pathways to disc herniation. So we have the disc from an anatomical point of view, it's a gel core wrapped with layer upon layer, concentric layers of collagen fibers.

that in order to get a disc bulge or a disc herniation, they needed to delaminate and the gel nucleus, when it's pressurized under a heavy bend, will seek the weak spot between these fibers, work through the delamination and create a disc bulge. There's been several recent studies now that have done assays, investigations of the harvested nucleus in a disc surgery.

More than half the time, that harvested nucleus contained fragments of broken end plate. Broken end plate comes from excessive compression. And then you go into the history of the person. Oh, well, maybe they fell on ice and they piledrived their back. There's a candidate mechanism to create small fractured bits of end plate.
