I did 3 different dead lift variations today finishing with 17 inch pulls which really hit my lower back hard, I then went onto barbell lunges and worked upto a final set of 105 which was supposed to be for 6 each leg ( I did 100 last week and was heavy but managed all reps) basically I didn't get a single rep and nearly got sandwiched as I tried to come back up, had to bail the bar behind me.

will it have been the lower back that caused this? I didn't have a belt on either as I like to use them to build full stability.

I'm asking because I deffo want to avoid that happening again, i can't see the 5 kg increase making that much of a difference?

5kg can be the difference between 5 pretty easy reps and 3 hard one so it might just be a combination of work wlready done and a little extra weight

Yer I had done 18 sets of deads all in all and the hips will have been hit aswell so could have been a culmination of things.

Lunges require your glutes to work. If you'd been doing partial deadlifts beforehand your glutes would have been pretty fried.

If I'd done 18 sets of deads, I reckon Id be struggling to do bodyweight with the lunges. You were probs just "fried" from the deads I reckon.

Nothing wrecks your day more than having a bar on your back and no safety bars...and you're tired.
