This fixed it. Thanks man.

Hey guys,
What causes knees to buckle inwards during deadlifts? Bad technique somewhere or just too much weight?
Thanks.

1. Ok I will. But I'm pretty sure it's straight/slightly arched all the time.
2. Yes, and yes. Not cutting.
3. No, I thought the belt is a no-no so ur abs don't get lazy...

That sounds like good advice bro. Yes I can do pull-ups, db rows, and extensions with no problem. I'm going to research what a "trap bar" means and will give that a whirl. Thanks much.

I meant it has an anatomical weakness as in a bad nerve position or the like.



I checked with a sports physical therapist, performing all my weights lifts in front of him at the orthopedic...

Hi guys,

I've been doing dead lifts for about 4 years now and I peaked at 315lbs 1RM back in 2012, training with 275lbs (1 set of 5). However, I've had left lower back and LLQ (lower left...

Mission accomplished. One week of high rep training (and lots of turkey yesterday) did the trick. I rested 5 min between sets tho. My next goal is to cut down resting time to 3min between sets.
So...

I used to do it like this video, but then I read this article and it kinda made sense...

Never done high reps. I will definitely be giving that a shot.

Oh, on the lockout, and that's where the risk of lower back injury is the worst for me...any over-extension or loss of balance there and I'm doomed.

I fail on the 4th or 5th rep of the 1st set, then things deteriorate in the 2nd & 3rd set...sometimes I can only do one rep in the 3rd set. It's weired because I clear 3 sets of 5 with 130 lbs...

Hi guys,
I'm a 35 y/o, 5'11'', 165-lb, 10%-bf, male. I'm doing the Rippetoe starting strength after a bilaterial inguinal hernia repair surgery done in Jan 2012 (I post regularly on the inguinal...

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a year but I do have good news. Basically, as I you can see from my notes above, I pretty much healed and went back to decent weights (80%) within 6 months of the...

Went back to gym 3 months after surgery. Started from scratch, with focus on cardio, stretching, and low weights. Gradually increased weights for the next 3 months. It's now 6 months after surgery...

Thanks for the glute/hamstring advice. Tried it today and no pain while lifting! Also must add that rolling the shoulders back when you reach upright is a no-no; it was over-stretching my pelvic...

Interesting. I've never consciously used the glutes during a deadlift. Will focus on that tomorrow and see how it goes.

I've been feeling this as well. Had an inguinal hernia repair done, and 5 months post-surgery now, the pelvic pain is the same....so I'm sure it's not an inguinal hernia...Saw 3 doctors and they...

Week 11: Pain in right oblique/groin area continues. Intensifies during and after sex. Area bulges when bladder full or bowel full (similar symptoms to pre-surgery).
Week 12: Went back to surgeon. ...

I know...I'm in week 12 now and I'm still feeling pain especially during and after sex.... I'm not sure what to do...haven't stepped in the gym since the surgery...I'm going to contact the doctor...
