Something terrible happened while doing deadlifts..

[futrmro]

I feel your pain bro.Don't ask how I did it, but I fucked up my lower back doing leg press about two months ago.It still gives me problems when I do squats,deads ,or leg press.Good luck and I hope that your ok

I had the exact same thing happen to me bro, (except mine was on the right) but more severe....it is still not completely healed almost a year and a half later....be very, very careful with it and get on it right away.

Bro hope everything turns out alright...shit, i can't deadlift shit.

I just started doing them 3 weeks ago and I only did 265 for 5 the other day. Not to mention i am 6'3" which makes it even harder.

This post just scared me Ive been doing sets with 405 and im not on a cycle yet I know ill be going heavy as hell on my cycle .But I think im going to drop the weight back down and go for more reps (it does not seem worth getting hurt over )

so this pop i "felt" in my back.. this consistent with a muscle tear or what?

Every now and then when my partner goes up on dead lifts, I stand behind him and pop a rubber band on his back. Scares the shit out of him. It took him about 3 times to figure out that I was doing it and it wasn't something popping in his back.

My work out partner is 6'4 and he has only been dead lifting for the first time in his life for 2 months now and he is doing reps with 455 and has never done a cycle "yet" .So it just depends on the person and genetics .

LOL that is funny but I think your the reason why people work out alone

IMHO, while on Gear, stay in the 6 rep range or higher; it's safer.

Damn, maybe that's why no one wants to work out with me. That and the fact that I've been out of deodarant for 3 weeks. LOL!

I hope you will be ok bro. Dead lifts are not an exercise you want to go for "one more rep" on. When you feel you have done your max amounts of reps, you need to stop. Is there any bruising on your back? If not, then you probably didn't tear a muscle. I don't think you slipped a disk either, because if you had you would be in too much agony to even type this message! I suspect you just pulled a muscle. If this is the case you need to rest this muscle until it fully heals. Good luck bro.
