Spine health and heavy lifting

There are a lot of mistakes you’ll see other people making in the weight room. A lot of people round their backs excessively when they squat. Or go too deep on the leg press, and then round their backs at the bottom to get the weight up, which is basically the same thing. Or dead lift with the weight too far forward.

I’d like to understand how much “wiggle room” you have before doing permanent damage. I’ve tried asking Google, but I’m mostly finding poor quality results.
