I've been doing deadlift's for a number of months with no problems. Last week I watched Rippetoe's vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AObAU-EcYE and I picked up a few things that I thought I might use to improve my DL technique, e.g. bending to grab the bar followed by bringing the knees in and out as opposed to just approaching the bar and assuming position. So yesterday I'm performing a lift (not much weight - 70kg including barbell) and my lumbar area of my back gives out. I'm in pain today (hopefully a muscular strain!). Going to get checked out by the doc, but wondered two things now that I am using Rippetoe's instruction (as per the vid):
- my knees hurt after
- I've injured my lower back
Based on your experience is Rippetoe's instruction sound? Prior, I used the Buff Dudes Dead Lift video to learn. Any experienced lifters wanting to chime in and suggest what may have caused these two problems for me is welcome. It is possible that I just forgot about proper technique with too much weight while trying too hard to ensure proper form.
Any thoughts welcome.
