I know hands down that doing deadlifts are a great benefit...but I can'r seem to get the mechanics down for deadlifts...my lower back hurts like a MoFo.

I have been doing Romanian deads with somewhat less strain to my back. I have been using other alternatives (if ya wanna call it that) to substitute for deads. I use a weight belt but my lower back just kills me...a clear indication that I am doing it wrong. Watched the other dawgs at the gym and tried to follow the strict moevement...but I am not getting the results I need because of lower back pain.

Its a bitch...and I am becoming somewhat frustrated with this...because I know I am missing out on the goods.

Been out the loop for a minute...I'm back in the house now...I like this forum very much. I like the No BS approach around here.
