I do them once a week at like 3x8 for heavy weight(well like 285). I am starting to wonder if this is okay for me to do. Will I like throw out my back or something?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

if you keep good form it is safe. Most exercises are safe if you keep proper form, you don't run hardly any risky whatsoever if your form does not get sloppy.

yes indeed
everyone who does SLDL keels over and dies afterword
....
of course the time between thier last set of SLDL and thier death is often measured by the decade but I mean...everyone how does SLDL WILL die at some point!
lol just having fun with you
like Kaz said if you keep the form right and don't put mor weight on then you can handle you can do them for the rest of your life

I think it is hard to tell if you have good form with deads though...
there is a difference between knowing good for amd using it...
so just be careful, and maybe have some one watch you who really knows their stuff so they can point out any form problems.

The proper form on SLDL's is difficult to exicute stricly. You aren't supposed to actualy keep your legs locked the whole time. I know my lower back feels like it's on fire after a few sets. I concentrate on feeling the stretch in the hams. I think they are safe enough if done carefuly.

I hurt my back just over a year ago and in the past two weeks, I just started doing dl's, sldl's and squats. So far I've done 2 sessions each without hurting may back and except for post w/o muscle soreness it feels pretty good. Here's what i've been doing:
Wear a belt and wrist straps. The straps are important b/c you can concentrate more on form than just trying to hold onto the bar.
Face the mirror when doing this excercise. Watch your technique.
Get the technique right before increasing the weight.
Block - tighten your back and stomach muscles and take a deep breath up to create internal pressure - just don't forget to breathe, ok.
Do this excercise first before you get fatigued.
Stretch, stretch & stretch some more!
I hope this helps the newbies, like me.....no matter what happens, your toes are still tappin'.

Depends if you have a history of lower back problems (like me)then I'd avoid them.

u do NOT have to wear the belt all the time...if ur form is correct....and wrist straps too???why would u want to wear something that would make ur grip suffer....the belt coud turn out to do more harm then good in the long run if u use iut all the time...
