Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 18.04.2020 @ 17:34 PM by dannyboy73 this.I had a back that didnt crack...until I had a spazum aged 40 brushed it off in 7 days...then 44 same as before then 3 times last year and could no longer dress myself without pain at 47 ffs and now...no chance of deadlifting serious weights stretch sir and be good to yourself. back pain is often a warning..and heed the warning one must.

I think my back is probably done as far as Dead’s go. May consider trying Sumo at some point perhaps. I think I can continue to squat heavy but taking real care to progress the weights properly. 160kg is easy for me, it really is, but any heavier at the moment my back would go. | ||
