I don't do dead lifts any more. Quite a while ago, like last year or even earlier, on the 3rd set, 3rd rep, my back popped. I was upping the weight this day and probably was'nt ready, but I got 5 or 6 reps on the first 2 sets. My form seemed good. I could'nt workout for a couple months or more. It feels fine now, guess I should start doing them again. I just feel like I would never go as heavy as I should because of fear of it happening again. Would never really go to failure on sets in other words. I've been doing Lumbar Extensions or Goodmornings for the lower back instead. You can tell that they definetly don't replace Deadlifts. Guess I'll go light and increase slow until I get a feel of what I'm capable of.
I do Squats, Bench, M. Press, and Bent Over Rows. These are the
1st exercises I do on their relative body part and the ones I use to warm up for that body part.
Thanks to all for their input, this interaction makes working out more fun
