T_Bebb said:Ive been having similar probs lately, really bad pumps etc. Went to a physio and have started stretching my hams/lower back everyday, its working well. The physio said my hams were far too tight, it was causing and was going to cause major problems in the future. Dont neglect the stretches.. I have for far too long. I've been thinking of going to see a physio myself just lately to see if I can get my problem diagnosed a little better. It's nice to know what I seem to have is a common problem. It's been holding me back with my deadlift for months now(well until the last few weeks) but I've decided to just go for it and if my back snaps then it snaps !!  | |||

| I have had similar problems, and still do to a certain extent. I decided to decrease the volume a little (I was doing 5x5 Deads and Squats every week). I've now dropped to 3x3 for both and increased the weight a tad, alternating Heavy Deads and Speed deads weekly so I'm only Heavy deadlifting every fortnight. (Still heavy Squats every week) It was becoming a bit of an issue as I was in real discomfort at home with a throbbing dull ache in the lower back (not an injury type of pain if you know what I mean !!) Our lass thought I was having her on as I struggled most to do the washing up (stood at the sink f**king crippled me) and doing the ironing also, I wouldn't even try and make s**t like that up !! It wouldnt be uncommon to find me changing the arse of my youngest, laid down side on to her, swapping a nappy single handed as it hurt that much !! Anyway I found that changing my routine a little by reducing the volume, and stretching my lower back a bit more has helped... Also, and I am by no means an expert.... do you not set the weight down on the ground when deadlifting ? I watched your vid and it appears you leave it shy of the ground which might not help. | |||
