Care to explain? Coming from my experiences things like hyper-extensions put more stress on the spine than traditional dead-lifts.

When I started lifting I had serious back pain, it runs in my family. Deadlifts were recommended to me, and I used them without any other excersices that targeted my lower back. I never had a single issue, and I don’t have back pain anymore. There are just too many people that HURT their backs using improper technique.
