I fuked up my back deadlifting

[Tshadows]

Why do the crazy heavy weight? Why not moderate weight and higher reps per set?

[Ausaric]

I’m not doing anymore heavy deadlifts ever since I got back into lifting. Too much risk to reward. It’s basically an ego lift.

My low back strengtheners will be BB Squats and DB Snatches.

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

I dont go over 405

pulled 500lb a few weeks ago as ego and repped it easily


no point when you can blow your shtt in one second for little muscle gain. Never go over 80% 1rm

[outfoxxed]

i stopped deadlifting and going heavy on the squats

not worth it imo.

big legs only impress other dudes

Bruh you’re still young and dumb and haven’t learned your lesson yet.

When I was younger I fukked up by back exactly the same way even with a trainer. Did heavy deadlifts to try to reach PR without a belt. Heard something snap and couldn’t bend forward for 2 days and thought I recovered after a week so did medium weight squats and this time fukked it up really bad and had chronic lower back and sciata pain for 6 months. Got an MRI and diagnosed with bulging disc at L5-S1. Had to go to 3-4 months of physical therapy and was still feeling pain after a while.


Lesson learned was that if you’re not competing as pro-builder, not worth doing heavy DLs and squats. (But even as pro, is it worth it to become like Ronnie Coleman?) Also even worse idea if you’re an officel who sits in front of the computer all day and head to the gym with tight ass hamstrings and weak core that don’t help fire the proper muscles for proper form when doing heavy lifts.

[GooBaaa]

Lold @ all the miscers that don’t deadlift

Makes sense tbh

[MrCarrot]

Well I'm old and f***** up my back 10 years ago lifting a big garden slab, of all things. I rarely deadlift any longer, and I prefer front squats because you can't cheat and lean forward on them when it gets heavy.

No one should ever deadlift or squat,

100% serious,

there is no reason to do that, you’re not making any money, you’re not gonna get more pussy, you’re not going to suddenly get smarter, you’re not going to have an orgasm, there’s literally no reason to do that. All you’re going to do is **** up your back, you may not **** it up today or tomorrow or next year, but when you are 60 years old, you’re going to feel it.

Squatting with light weights isn’t a bad idea boyo, what’s wrong with squatting? We ain’t talking doing insane 1RM attempts here bro

Bodyweight and light weights are totally fine obviously, yes. And if there is a rare specific context, like if someone is a professional athlete, that makes money then yeah, that’s the trade-off, back degeneration as an investment so you could make money and retire early.

Depends where it hurts.

Is it the butt muscle and to the left or right of center on your lower back? if so thats a muscle thing you can most likely stretch out.

Smack in the center is where all the vertebra are so might be something more that stretching can fix.

[jonmcd46]

blows my mind how so many people here are anti deadlift/squat when it seems every exercise program recommends them...
https://www.google.com/search?q=best...hrome&ie=UTF-8
I clicked on five of the top results, pretty sure every one includes squats and deadlifts...
We all have different goals, and ego lifting is bad, but to completely cut them out because you saw Ronnie Coleman or other fukkers get hurt is terrible. It feels good lifting a chit ton of weight, and that motivates some people

[forthenoodz]

I’ll occasionally squat at a moderate weight for fitness purposes but jflol if you’re deadliftmaxxing 400+ pounds. Gonna destroy your back

Mobility & fitness > meathead muscles

this. unless you're competing, there is no reason to do deadlifts 1 rep max or train like a mad man.

i used to do them 5 rep and even 1 rep max, but now switched to 8 reps and even my squats have all dropped.

if anything, i plan to do more stretches and even go for pilates and some HIIT

ruining your life to impress ghey bbers

2 weeks rest minimum.

Take some pain killers, and use heat & cold packs, rotating. (10 min hot then 10 min cold).

The less pain you feel, the quicker you'll be able to heal.

You power through it, and the recovery will take longer.

[MEDITATE]

i would say 60% you probably popped a ligament or a muscle .... anything else youd be dieing from pain and other stuff

two things:


one :

i would suggest you take 10 days off ...if during these 10 day the pain started subsiding but its still there... then stay away from lifting for 30 days ..... if the pain diminishes by 90% .... start with very light weights... if the pain comes back... lay low for 6 weeks.... if the pain subsides ...go back with light weights... if the pain comes back... its doctor time.... it means you fukced up something in your back really bad


two:

if the pain is dull/sharp and increasing with walking ,bending problems.... pain while breathing.....its doctor time and better pepper angus

[Vikes723]

While yes the amount of weight matters but how is OPs form? or he did OP go too heavy and therefore compromised his form? See that far too often as well and guys end up getting hurt.

I usually dont go over 315 on deadlift. Used to flirt with 405 but I was also much younger. and squat is about the same. Knees hurt and lately have had a pinched nerve in my hip that has been bugging me especially on squats

[Coal Man]

You could have picked any username in the world but decided on jizzfarmer. Why should I care?

[Tedtatas]

You got what you asked for dingleberry

1. You got hurt
2. Decided ehhh fuxk it, I'm going to do 5*5 heavy squats maybe even add alil pause
3. Now it hurts more

Just had to show those gym bunnies the powerful 2 and a half plate squat huh

Couldn't just take 1 plate for a ride


Also, having a big squat is dope but for some people it does fuxk all for leg size

Keep grinding doofus

[SaviorSelfJT]

Granted I was never
strong going by misc standards but when I stop doing heavy compound lifts my body eventually starts hurting. Like my lower back will hurt from just sitting at work if i haven’t done squats/deadlifts in the past few months

[jizzfarmer]

Appreciate the replies brahs. I forgot to mention that I did the 5x5 squats after resting for about 5 days after the initial deadlifting injury.

And I literally got the injury from warm up with 1 plate srs. I think the problem was that I went too fast. Usually when I warm up for deadlifts I try to go fast and focus on bar speed, I think that compromised my form and the sudden movement fuking popped something. I had been deadlifting heavy prior to that so I was likely already tired from that.

I’m gonna take it easy for a while and just do bodybuilding type of stuff like you guys said. Lower weights and higher reps and focus more on upper body to let my lower back heal. I will also look up the lower back protocol thing like you guys suggested and stick to machines for lower body stuff.

Good to see that misc still lifts. I’ll probably just not deadlift at all anymore since it was never one of my major goals anyway. I’ll just stick to squats after I heal up. Thanks again brahs.

[bsrkoacar2]

Most back injuries are minor. Wouldn't recommend going to the doctor unless you want surgery. As long as you have feeling in your toes I really wouldn't worry much. PT might be valid though or just research on YouTube.

Herniated disc
Snap City of piss



Don’t lift anything for a while and it might get better on its own, srs

Once the pain dies down and you get some more mobility after a few days or a week, start doing stretches for your lower back


Deadlifts, just why

[WaveyBaby]

I couldn’t get out of bed for two days after deadlifting in the gym on base in pcola

Never deadlifts since then and that was 2013

[drakkarman]

you hurt your back on a 135lbs warmup?

c'mon mane

[AshWar]

Lol @ misc armchair physios

[headturner1]

I just love squatting and deadlifting too much to give them up.

I mean I kinda hate them, but in a good way I guess.
