Title: What is the most common injury going to big on dead lifts?
Post by: ronbrgundy on February 24, 2010, 07:54:17 PM

I tried to hang with some really strong guys today and was moving 225 lbs.  I believe at one time I 1 repped 295 lbs.  If our next lift is anything like today they are going to ask me to try 300+ and I want to know what I could f up going too big too fast

Ok I got comfortable with the deadlift exercise and am doing sets of 275 for 5 right now with no real issues.  Hope to move up to 315 for 5 in the next couple of months.

Not sure if it's the most common but I've hurt my lower back not even going very heavy

Can be hard on the knees.
Bicep takes a beating if your arms aren't straight at the beginning of the lift.

Deadlifting has caused problems with my knees in the past.  A few months back, I began deadlifting in sock feet, and I could feel the difference with the first set.  Much more control over how my feet/ankles are position.  This transferred up through the whole leg, and make a huge difference in how I feel after deads.  No more knee discomfort the days following.  Looks weird to other gym goers though, but how give a fcuk.
