Brehs im pretty sure i pulled/strained a muscle in my lower back deadlifting
- Thread starter GoFlipAPack
- Start date
One time I attempted a PR and I pulled it good for the first rep but didn't reset properly for a second since I was surprised I pulled the first so well. When I just tried to yank it for the second rep in the split second I knew I fukked up. Took me 7 days to recover.
Another time that wasn't as bad but still strained me involved bouncing/rushing through the reps.
Ultimately, you'd do well to warm up/stretch prior.
I'm at a point where I spend a good 5-10 minutes just warming up and stretching before actually starting anything working out now.
For deads and squats:
Tonight I'm going to do rack pulls though...I'm deadlifting once a month now only to see how much stronger my lifts are.

For deads and squats:
- I hang from a chin up bar and twist my torso 5 times in either direction;
- Spider-Man stretch (if I don't have room to go dynamic I just go static for 5 seconds each side);
- I grab a yoga stick rest it on my back like you do with the bar for squats and twist to each side;
- I use the same yoga stick, keep my legs straight and bend over then twist to each side;

You mean you don't rep 225lbs 20 times
?
I have been keeping my deadlifts within 20lb of my squats to avoid this kind of shyt. I could pull way more and maybe once or twice a year I max out.... but the shyt's not worth it

Lifting with your lats = less work for your lower back

The Basics of the Psoas Muscle and Related Issues
Some background info on the psoas muscle and how it often relates to back issues. Honestly this is the most important core muscle and stabilizer there is.
The best way to regain lost stability there from a yoga stand point is through Dragon Pose. This should really be part of anyone's routine that's serious about overall health and not just physique.
I wanna start deadlifiting
I'm gonna take it very light

Look into the reverse hyper machine and give it a try. It's used to create traction and strengthen your back. It's best for slipped disks. The creator, Louis Simmons from westside barbell, invented it to avoid surgery.
My brother is going through this issue now. He did a McGyvered version of these in the gym for the first time yesterday and he says he can see it will help. I can't speak from experience but anyone I've heard that had back problems that's used it swears by it.
I'm thinking about buying one from rogue fitness for prevention.
Hope all y'all with back problems get relief.
