Deadlift today last rep felt a bit weird, now I can hardly walk - whats the best thing to do beside rest?

Feel anything pop? Was that the end of your workout or did you just keep going after you did it? If it doesnt feel any better or is worse 2morrow go to the hospital.

Squat heavy.

any prior diagnose? Get one, if not. You're back is the very last thing you want to F with and ignore. Sleep on your back or on your side with a pillow inbetween your knees.

Ice for 20 minutes every hour if you can. Take some alieve or ibuprofen. Sleeping with the pillow between you legs on your side or under your knees if on your back. If pain persist, go to a DR or chiro and usually they can give you some stretches and exercises to rehab it. I have some I do before I squat. I have been through this a few times. I also do light hypers now everyother workout to keep the stabilizers strong and everything tight. It helps me anyway.

Rest for a day, then get moving. One of the worst things you can do is sit around keeping it immobile

Part of the new Obama healthcare plan is to consult message board veterans on injuries before seeing a physician.

I would rest, massage, and just give it time. I had never been injured in my life until this year, biceps tendon/shoulder RC. It really took 3 weeks of zero use and some massage therapy to get better.

Meso_z · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:19:46 PM »

do some heavy bb rows with your back arched.

wavelength · « **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:23:38 PM »

probably just a pulled tendon, would check out if nothing serious like disk injury though

brooklynbruiser · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2009, 05:52:58 PM »

Back stuff sucks. Watch for any radiating, shooting pain, or numbness. Some test and GH'll do you righttttttt, sonnnnn!

dont deadlift heavy from the front

try deadlifts with the barbell behined the back or trap bar deadlifts to avoid unneccessarily destroying your lower back

drink alot of water and go vegetarian may help

Does your gym have a "back stretcher"? If so, use that.

My shoulders radiated pain and I had numbness in my arms and elbows when I fucked my neck up. I must have just pulled something. It went away. I will try to avoid this happening again.
