Deadlift - Back Injury

^TANK^ · 1 Aug 2009 at 18:42

I seem to remember them doing normal form when doing dead lifts and squats with belts on!

Yes, but come on, 400kg+ isn't exactly "normal"

Fair enough mate, we will have to agree to disagree on the belt thing

to us no, but their repping out on those weights is like us doing 200 for reps.
They also generally have deadlifting shorts or squat suits on iirc

You probably push yourself more than most here.

I don't know about that, but I certainly feel like I have taken a good beating afterwards 90% of the time lol.

I agree with tank tbh, its about intensity rather than out right weight :]

That's not in question - it's just that although I have intense session I seldom feel the need for a belt. I can feel my form going when it gets heavy, so I don't push myself.

RockLobster - have you tried SLDLs or DLs since the injury? I tried them the other day after being inspired by this thread to get on the road to recovery quicker, and they were absolutely fine - granted i was only doing 75kg but my form was good and they woke up my muscles. Wondering if you're the same, as i really don't know what's wrong with my back. Doctor has referred me to a physio in a few weeks though so i may get answers then..
