Just hurt my back deadlifting

[-G$-]

re-testing 1RM DL tonight @ 6pm

Hit 455# easy. Went for 475# (tried to jump previous PR of 465#) twice and missed. shyt happens. Just the beginning of the new strength cycle so I’ve got time to get there. We gon eat this quarter though. I’ve got big plans.

Just finished doing deadlifts right now

Didn't hurt myself because I'm not an ego lifting idiot with bad form.

I fuked my back up in the summer checking out some ass while deadlifting
I just wanted to lay on the floor when I felt that pain...but I couldnt go out like a bytch in a busy ass gym.

By the time I got home all I could do was lay on the couch.
I had to take it easy for a few months.

Anyway...Im back good now...but im only fukin with that trap bar to be safe (im 36).

DLs are one of the GOATs...so I dont see any reason to ever stop...just no real reason to go super heavy.

my body reminding me I'm 30. Enjoy your youth young brehs.

Yikes.
I'm no longer doing barbell squats and dead lifts. Long story short, got my lower back x-rayed. Got surgery. I'm looking at doing just upper body exercises only, and maybe calf raises as the only leg-related weight resistance leg exercise.

This is exactly why I don't deadlift or squat, that shyt is fukking gay and stupid.

How the fukk do u not squat?


That shyt works ur whole lower body and core.

So does simpler routines that require less preparation for proper form

Shout out to everyone who recommended doing Trap Bar Deadlifts. Did those today and felt great (went kinda light).
I've always experienced lower back pain (even as a teenager), but I feel like deadlifts are supposed to be such a great compound workout that I feel like I need to incorporate it in my routine.

I only do trap bar deadlifts
Less strain on your CNS and body.
I feel it more when I do TBDLs.
No hate on conventional deadlifts they just dont work for me.
Somebody cue the video of that idiot doing deadlifts and then screaming like an idiot when he didnt lift it

I do trap bar deadlifts, I dabble in conventional from time to time but it does take more time to make sure my form is right. Saw on youtube something about feeling the slack in the bar and it it helped a lot. Most of the funny shyt I see on gym fukkery is about deadlifts from fainting and people with form like a dog taking a dump.

name them.

U gotta be dumb to fukk up your form on squats. dead lifts is understandable.

I see people in here talking about 1rm for deadlift in a thread where a guy needs a backeotomy from probably ego lifting. 1RM is the quintessential ego lift. I find that ironic.

If you want to test your deadlift and significantly lower your chance of getting hurt you should care more about your 3rm than your 1rm.

Your 1rm changes from day to day based on sleep, stress, diet... your 3rm is pretty consistent.

This is why we need The Gym out of TLR.

If you don't do a variation of deadlift or squat then you not even really hitting the gym. :shrugkobe:

People like what they like. You don’t have to do anything as long as you are hitting your goals.........

Truth. I just seen dudes talking about you're wasting your time in the gym if you don't squat or deadlift.
