Yeah when I began doing deads my erector spinae was so tight I could barely take the weights off the bar when I was finished. At the finish of a dead lift you're meant to lock your back by pushing the hips forward and squeezing your glutes and this tends to tighten your erector spinae especially for the first few times you do it. Not to worry, if it was a disc issue you'd definitely know.
Dont worry about it, first two weeks on my diet, i repeated my 5*5 weights for squat and deadlift, succesfully, without any pain.
what i had is common with progressive schedules, you go up in weights, body must adapt, and in the progress it hurts.
How long does it take for a sprained wrist to heal completely? It's been a month and a half since the accident (played football, got hit with a ball) happened but I don't see too much improvement, it hurts only when bent to certain extent, like when doing pushups, it doesn't disturb me in everyday life. There's also no swelling. I really hoped it would be ok for September so I could start going to the gym again but I'm not too optimistic now.
both when you had a wrist in plaster for a while(and its weak) or on a sprained wirst, you can use wirstbands. they take off some weight from the wrist, so you can excercise it
at first use it at all excercise, then lower the usage.
currently, i only use them on my last two sets of military press and bench press, or when doing 5*15 exhaust sets for them.
if its to painfull, you should probably stop for a while. (altho i never listen to that advice myself)
Actually the opposite is true. Strengthening your postural chain and core are vital in preventing injury and improving on most if not all exercises. You won't get injured deadlifting if you progressively ease into a heavier load (no one should ever do any exercise for the first time at a 5 RM, that's why beginners are prescribed 12-15 RM) and use proper form. Squats and deadlifts are the best exercises anyone could do. If you take the time to learn correct technique you will no doubt reap the benefits.
i disagree on this. you dont feel you are damaging the back with deadlift at first, and when you start to notice its allready to late. if you have a strong core, you feel it immediatly when overextending yourself
In one of the two gyms i go to, i'm about the only one that really deadlifts. half of them had an injury trough it once, and the other half is scared to get one.
dule is absolutely right when he says that deadlift has a significant higher chance to injury yourself.
before deadlifting, get that strong core, and get used to the diffrence between the pain of a serious training, and the pain of an overused muscle about to fail
