I began weight lifting, i use a 10kg metal barbell for now and then i'm going to be adding more weights on it. I want to know which exercises/moves with the barbell put the most pressure on the spine. Hope someone can help, thanks!

Squats, deadlifts

(and bench if you do it like most people)

Box Squats are horrible on the spine....provided you are sitting all the way back. I see alot of high schoolers do this very wrong. I would just do touch and go off of those. Basically anything where the barbell sits on your shoulders is hard on your spine.....and if your holding heavy weight around your collar bone and anytime the weight goes over your head you put alot of pressure on spine.
