Dead lift muscle pull

[halfcenturian]

NEVER ARCH YOUR BACK when doing deads, or rows. or any bent over back exercise. I pulled my lower back but good right by my Butt coming down on a dead lift. 280, third set... YEEEEOOOWWWCH !!!
I know better !!! Now it hurts to lean forward to wash my hands.
Ice, stretching, and Advil.

Just a reminder to be careful out there.... I have about a 3 week recoup time now. Dammit!

i am having the smae problem now except i dont recall arching my back. i was doing weighted hyperextensions.

that sux man, set-backs are so frustrating. i have to do my deads off the rack, 2nd hole up. just cant come from the floor, being tall doesnt help either. no longer than I've been doing deads I can see how critical proper form is. hope you have a quick recovery half.

NEVER ARCH YOUR BACK

What?? So you should use a rounded back? Or do you mean not to overly arch your back?

i tweaked my lower back about a month ago,trying to be a big man, 405lbs repping.it was my third time doing deads.im about 95% now and ready to start doing them again,with a belt this time though

oh dear, yes always keep your head up, and back straight. The last thing you want to do it arch your back in the least. You could easily herniate a disk doing deads with bad form. and believe me, that shit sucks. I herniated a disk 4 years ago, and has left me almost crippled.

I've done this twice. The first time was last year during PCT. I tried to DL what I was doing while on... which was about 2.2 x bodywieght (455 lbs.)

Then I did it again in the summer and had to cut my TE, EQ cycle short.

I haven't Deadlifted anything heavier than 425 since the first injury. Sucks ass.

Get well bro.

and the real world consequences of jumping on without the natural base/experience every talks about.....

Take note

haha sorry, couldnt resist - that was sent to me on mypost earlier today about my pull

hope you have a speedy recovery bro, im actually kinda depressed about being out 6 weeks but i guess its a good a time as any to focus on my legs and cardio

i would love to make and old man joke ---but i lost six months of biking b/c of a groin pull--builing a set of landscape stairs with 60 lb pound blocks (the least it could have been was a couple of hundrend, but no, 60 little pound)--now that is embarassing

so this means you have more time to hunt for cyclists.. ..i think i will buy a spinning bike
