Sounds like you've been doing deads with mostly back. I.E. using your back as a lever instead of driving with your hips and legs. I have a bad lower back, and trust me I don't "bend down" when I dead lift. If I did I'd be screwed. If you're doing deads the way I described...which most people seem to...you should modify it to a more conventional technique. It likely will mean less weight but in the long run more since you'll still have your back.

But I'm not sure if bend down means bending over.

I think you'd be better off seeing a physiotherapist on this for a routine and such. Doctor's, unless he's a sport medicine doc, aren't that well versed in exercise prescription.

I don't bend over per say while Deadlifting. I just used the term generically meaning bent at the waist.

I'd say my back position while Deadlifting is similar to when Squatting. Being a rookie, I probably should seek technique advise on both. Maybe I'll make a video and sent the link to you. I don't trust anyone at my gym to know anything about Squat and Deadlift technique.

If you know of any videos of perfect technique, could you point me to them? I could search myself, but I wouldn't know if what I was watching is acceptable or wrong.

Tuesday 3/27/07

Leg Extentions
Bench Press ---------- 3x5 190 lbs
Deadlift -------------- 1x5 135 lbs

Dips ------------------ 2x8 with 35 lbs

Notes:
I tried the Leg Press with low weight for one set and decided to not do them. The lower back area still moves while doing them and I barely felt it, but I don't want to take any chances. So I went over and did Leg Extentions. I think I'll do these until I Squat again.

Working my way back up to where I was a few weeks ago on Bench Press.

I decided to try light Deadlifts with one plate on each side. Felt good...didn't bother my back at all.
