Did chest / shoulders / triceps again for GVT, didn't get a chance to go to the gym until Wednesday cause of the storm. I did

DB Incline 10x10

DB shoulder press 10 x 10

And weighted dips 6x8

First and foremost, I might have picked too high of a weight for DB incline, I was using 100lbers......by the 6th set I was contemplating the meaning of life and was close to dropping the weight down cause I wasn't sure I could finish. I wasn't able to get the full 10 out in the 9th and 10th set, had to settle for 9 and 7.

The DB shoulder press went even worse, by the 7th set I was already dropping down to 8, got back up to 9 for the 8th and finished off with 7 for the last two sets. My chest today is still on fire, feels like someone tried to rip my arms out by bending them backwards.

How much you doing for db shoulders? Try doing some overhead press next time for shoulders.

Did OHP last week, and was using 75lbers for DB, not sure what my 1 rep max for dumbbell press is and I'm not about to try to find out either

deads still fukkin me up

One of my twitter followers suggested trying hypers and rack pulls/partial deads for 8 weeks to strengthen the lower back before progressing to conventional dl's, so I guess we'll see how THAT goes.

If your form is straight, you just need to drop the weight (and ego) and start over. Hypers is a good suggestion for strengthening and letting your back recover from any pain, but that don't take no damn 8 weeks. Two to three at most.

Really tho, it's your abs' job to protect your lower back. When you're set to lift, you need to take a big breath and "push it down" to your stomach, bracing abs hard. Shoulder blades back and down, chest up, and do the lift. At the top, keep shoulders back and chest up, and lower the weight.

If you got form issues, inflexible hamstrings is usually the cause. Stretch them daily for a week or two, then scale it down when you're good.

You missed the part where I got hit by a car, and am/have been working through/around a spinal injury. I JUST started DL'ing again after the accident, and I'm having problems with pain after lifting an empty barbell, so it's def not an issue of too much weight, or ego lifting.
So yeah, I will take another 8 weeks doing other stuff before I try it again, because quite frankly I like walking a tiny bit more than I like lifting.

But thanks for the advice.
