Not updated this in quite a while again due to a combination of things which are too boring to mention.
I did get some really useful advice/help from a chap down the gym about 3 weeks ago on my deadlift form. As per the previous I have been struggling with it. Anyway, I did a squat session which I was happy with and this, and I am not trying to be rude here, seemingly thin, older chap (I would guess his age is about 70 ish) came up to me as I was finishing my squats and asked how much longer I would be. Anyway he proceeded to do deadlifts with 160kg which I was just amazed at. I went over to ask him if he could give me a few pointers as I struggled with them.
Basically, I wasn't utilising my legs enough, I was too close to the bar and not kind of pushing my hips down, so all the upward motion was coming from my lower back (hence the back pain I guess).
I have bought myself a belt as I just feel 'safer' with it (physiological probably, but I find it helps), but my deadlifts in the last month have improved dramatically.
