Was in Nashville for a wedding over the weekend. Swam at sportsplex on Friday, lifted at the ymca on sat. Hurt my back deadlifting -- 3rd or so warmup set at 115, got the weight up to about my knees and felt a little twitch in my back and it was all over. I think it's probably just a muscle strain -- it doesn't hurt all that bad -- but I won't be doing any heavy pulling for awhile, for sure :/

Got back Sunday night no thanks to weather in the midwest. Narrowly avoided having to spend the night in denver.

	I screwed up my back deadlifting last year, and it finally took me going to a chiropractor a year later to fix it. Make sure you hold a deep breath while you're starting the lift, the pressure on your diaphragm will help keep your back straight. It might be worth a visit to a trainer if you're not sure about your form. It's a lot cheaper than medical attention. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, for the deadlift, banging up your shins a bit is kind of the cost of doing business. If you let the bar get out in front, sooner or later, you're going to end up doing what I did :/ (Reply to this) (Parent)
