Form, Form, and Form

Well, I hurt my back again. This time it was with deadlifts. I had previously hurt it doing power cleans about two and half months ago and had been doing deadlifts since. Fortunately the back gave out during a warm up set and not during a heavy set or it could have been worse. The only thing that it could have been was improper form. Typically I really try and concentrate on form with everything I do and ESPECIALLY with deadlifts but apparently I didn't this time. My guess is since it was a lighter set I mentally relaxed on my concentration. I will probably cease to do deadlifts for quite a while if not for good since I have an injury that will need a lot of time to heal or it may never heal to the point of 100% recovery. Oh well, that is why we have choices.

Have a great weekend!
