It's up to you to blindly stay and defend your reality or have the courage to imagine that what you are doing is wrong. There is nothing more I can do for you.

Why a rounded back Deadlift ? Because I wrongly thought that if I could use an heavier load it implied that the muscles of the BACK and/or Legs were working Harder. It was a mistake because if the Back is Rounded it means that the muscles cannot maintain an extension of the back despite maximum force output and thus they are fatigued / overtrained. Plus... there is the risk for the spine. So like all of you I have been a victim of the belief that "more is better" (I thought more load, heavier load would be better and didn't even care about the risk).
You suck.
