puresurfr. I feel for ya buddy. I did the same thing you have. I have been out for going on 4 months now. That is me. I have injured my back several times before with bad form and not streching properly so obviously the more you injure yourself the worse it will be. What I ended up doing was going to therapy a couple times as it is so hard for me to do it continually. My back is getting better but it not fully healed yet. I did some weird streches and basic moves as lying on the floor stomach down and lifting one leg at a time a few inches off the ground, up then down slowly. Basically what is being done is that I was reworking the muscles and lightly strenghtening them. You have to be so very careful with the form as so many people have said. Constant injury to the same area could mess you up for life. The area you are injuring is the L5 disc in your lower back. The last disc, and this is the one that gets all the pressure from bending and so forth. Proper form is imp. and go with lighter weight for a while, say 100 lbs or less maybe with higher reps. Dude, I have a friend at work that injured his lower back, L5, to the point of requiring rods put in. He will never be deadlifting again. Tried it once and broke the titanium rods in his back. Another surgery, new rods and no more lifting. Caution cannot be stressed enough, it only takes once so listen to the advise of others with the proper form, streching, weight etc. If you haven't injured yourself before and are pretty young you won't be out as long as I have. Maybe within a month, maybe less you can lift again but you must go light as the injury is still there and would be very easy to reinjure which will cause more pain, damage and time out. This is my personal suggestion to you. Use heat on the back with the streching and don't rush yourself. The advise of others I would think will be similiar. Alot of what I now know I got from my fellow lifters here at free trainers. Good luch and God bless

hi, i am in pain as i type this and for the life of me cant find the thread on deadlift injury, you please mods, feel free to move this to the the right thread.
i noticed 1 or 2 people posting remerkes like"i cant believe you got hurt while deadlifting" or "im deadlifting all my lifs and nothing like this has ever happened " and so on.
well, i want to give you a brief account of what happened to me 14h ago in the gym. {b.t.w. i am a qualified p.t. an ex drug free powerlifter who has competed at world level,ann on top of that an ironman triathlon finisher.}
the above may sound pretensious but i want to naill home the fact that i have a lot of experience, and consider myself an advanced lifter..
anyway, last night.
ran to the gym, 20 minutes or so in a lower heart rate zone to warm up and use my time wisely, went to the lifting platform where i did my usual static and dynamic mix of strectches. nothing strange there.
then to the empty bar.
power clean. 1x10warm up.
1x 10 /30kg
1x 10 /40kg
1x8/60kg
1x5/80kg
then on to normal narrowstance deadlifts.
1x10/100kg
1x 10/120kg
1x8/150
1x5/160
1x3/180
then i put on my belt for an easy 190 kg{or so i was thinking as i have pulled 250 b4 @90kg}
1x................BANG. it came upo off the floor fast,then at knee hight i felf what can only be diiscribed as my lower spine doing an impression of an accordian. it just popped. out and back it would seem, and has pulled every muscle in the area.
i cant sit down, i cant lie down, the only way i can stand if if i contract my abbs{thank you pilates}out of my mind on iburopren and cold spray as i type this through a mist of pain...
i cant believe i finally got caught . i have a new found respect for the deadlift, and b4 someone posts"stop lifting with your ego" re read my post. i have done well in excess of what hurt me b4.
just thought id share the pain
peace.
