Thanks!

Please clarify what is meant by posture in neutral position? Keep back straight while doing the pull down?

While doing my 3rd set at weight close to my body weight, started noting the pull in my spine, upper half and lower half, depending on my back positioning. Think I can still do heavier weight later but a warning bell rings in my head. Will I do damage to my spine? Thus asking for advice to consider.
Correct me if I am wrong here. I can increase the weight by 1 level till I can only do 1 repetition. And that is the maximum weight I should be doing?
But that is looking at the lateral muscle strength and not spine integrity. Please help this dump rookie. Thanks.
Neutral spine n pelvic position
https://youtu.be/xuELIEPIzugLearn how to control it, is not easy to control it, but this will prevent injury, and good exercise.
BB question I'm not really understand what do u mean...
But start from 60% of 1RM, meaning example, ur maximum weight to perform bicep curl is 10kg in one rep with full range of motion., then start training in 6kg of weight for bicep curl, until one day u can improve ur 1RM meaning u able to perform 12kg in one rep., then u can level up to 7.2kg or 7.5kg training.
Remember, to improve strength is not abt the heavier the better, is abt how well and proper way u train, with injury prevention.
Note: is fine from 60 to 70% since some equipment don't have decimal point.
