OK damnit, I'm going to start incorporating deads!!!!

[emptywallet]

Ive done deads before, and really only felt them in my lower back. Ive never really felt the pump from my traps to lats to rhombs like everyone talks about. Was I just doing something wrong? This is the only reason why I won't really do them as it just hits my lower back. I'm assuming I'm doing them wrong. Any help here? Or tell me exaclty how you do them? Any diagrams?

Try doing a light weight and working on form. Does where you lift have mirrors? They're perfect for checking form.. Make sure your shoulders are low and your hips high when you start the lift.

I've been doing the 20-rep sets of deadlifts, and I just fall backwards as soon as the bar hits the ground on the last rep.

When I started deading, my lower back seemed to be the only thing that got hit also. After getting a decent amount of dead time in, and getting my form down and my weight up, everything was sore the day after. Like Bis said, watch your form and with more weight and time, your back will explode
