I think I fukked my back up couple weeks ago deadlifting, and I've been hesitant since. I feel fine now but the lift isn't the issue for me, it's putting back to the ground. I don't wanna start dropping the bar :mjcry:

Can you do stay sane doing rack pulls for a few weeks and lowering the pins weekly while you work on getting the boogeyman outta your head?

It's the lowering movement to the ground that gets me. I don't know if it's my height or what, but I end up bending over more to place the bar down before I reset for the lift up. Maybe putting plates down to increase the height would help, or maybe I need to bend my knee more, I don't know

You're not rounding your back on deads are you?

How tall are you? Do you pull conventional? Do you wear a belt (I hate them but they help with the chest up cue for us tall guys)

Deficit deads (standing on a plate) will help with leg drive which is a mechanical advantage tall guys have.

Standing on the plates wouldn't be for me. Putting the bar on the plates would.


I'm over 6' and I mostly do wide stance, one hand top/one under

Anyone else going for 28 days in February? Was out of the gym all of last week due to car issues but the Low-carb diet + increased cardio I've been doing still has me ahead of the game.
