    lower back pain after deadlifts

    I go to a local YMCA and I'm the only person that ever does deadlifts :\ so I can't ask anyone if my form is right. When i was doing lower weights i didnt seem to have this problem but lately my lower back hurts after i do them is this normal or is my form wrong and i can hurt my back if i continue?

    Where is your back hurting? Usually I'll get some pain/soreness on the outsides of my back kinda where my kidneys are located after some intense dead lifting.

    Did you look at the thread on deadlifting? Did you still have pain after reviewing your form?

    take video of form

    Lower the weight by 50lbs and try it again.

    If it's any kind of joint pain I would back off and get my form fixed ASAP. Maybe go lighter on weight to perfect your form, but trust me, you don't wanna hurt your back. Back injuries SUCK and are extremely frustrating... mine wasn't even all that severe compared to some and it still sucked, I can't imagine seriously injuring it.

    Does it hurt straight after you do them or hurt the next day?

    Hard to say really, you need to be able to differentiate between different pains. My lower back is normally always sore straight after a heavy deadlift session (ie it hurts to bend over) but my back is fine.

    do you mean the muscles are sore? if so, this is normal and should be expected. if you mean your spine hurts or something, then that's bad.
    "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

    You need to distinguish between soreness and pain. Soreness in that area is quite normal. Pain is never normal.

    Read this three part series on deadlifting:

    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    That is generally the area where I get sore from deadlifts but like the other guys mentioned you should know the difference between pain from injury and pain from lifting related soreness.

    soreness? or pain? there is a big difference.
    soreness = good
    pain = bad
