How not to compress your spine while lifting

[ascend394]

Most of us agree that being tall and muscular is the standart of handsomeness, but as someone who want to be muscular and still may grow taller, i am concerned about the probability of getting my spine compressed while lifting, what should i do in order to avoid this?

1st thing, and it is a must, is wearing a lifting belt
2nd thing, always maintain proper posture while lifting (Keep your back straight and shoulders back when sitting or standing)
3rd thing, when taking a break, instead of just sitting down, stand up and do stretches every 15-30 min
4th thing, don't put too much weight on your body (you lift 1.25-1.5x your body weight)
5th thing, strengthening your core. Do regular exercises like planks or bridges, etc... That builds strong stomach and back muscles that hold your spine.
