But then they will say, no, this whole disc herniation story, it started with a deadlift. Two years ago, my back got a bit tweaky after that. I kept deadlifting and whatnot. And then they find the fragments of bone. So more than half of that harvested nucleus shows evidence of an overload and compression. When you put that together with the history, and again, it's not the fault of the deadlift.
