The Cause of Lower Back Pain After Deadlifts

Lower back pain after deadlifts can indicate an injury like a spinal disc herniation. No amount of stretching, or additional weight training can help in this regard. One needs to first find the causes of the lumbar back pain which, in most cases, is a breakdown in deadlifting technique/form. Once the mechanism behind the pain is eliminated, then only can training progress without the risk of further injury. Professional olympic weightlifters and powerlifters pay close attention to their lifting technique in order to prevent back injuries and enhance performance. It is for this reason that these athletes start out with an empty barbell or even lighter training aids, when they first learn the lifts. Remember, function follows form. In other words; to properly benefit from a functional movement, the technique of that movement must be good.

I also discovered that I have quite a weak low back and therefore got sore in the back muscles easily while deadlifting (different kind of pain) I started training low back on upper body trainings and I still get sore,but I almost never get any of the “bad” pain.

Our body is so in tune with what we put it through... if it senses a compromised position, it will often times reduce our ability to output force, as a safety mechanism...

[@Khio]

great content! there seems to be a lot of disinformation about the deadlift. some say that a bit of back rounding is okay, as long as the spine remains locked. others claim that the back musnt show any rounding. hope you can address this on the next deadlift video!

[@barefootstrength]

Great comment 👍 There is nuance within all health and fitness topics. So, in this case the research suggests the following: Maintaining a neutral spine is optimal for all lifts. The spine can handle tonnes of compression in neutral but, every degree outside of this ideal shape shows an exponential decrease in compression tolerance. The spine does not handle movement under load very well. In these cases, a lot of shear forces are created around the vertebral structures which cause accelerated degeneration of those moving parts. With regard to deadlifting with a locked but slightly rounded spine. Well, although this is not the optimal way to lift for maximum spinal longevity, the spine can tolerate a locked, but slightly flexed position relatively well. The reason many powerlifters round their backs slightly (especially the upper back), is to decrease the spine’s moment arm thereby improving their potential leverage. This is a strategy used to help them lift the most amount of weight possible. But, as I mentioned in the video, most of us are not trying to break world records for a living, therefore, it’s totally unnecessary to risk the health of our spines in this way.

[@TrustNJesusChrist]

Its impossible for the back NOT to round when you get up in weight. Even pro power lifters round their back quite a bit. Not super rounded, but rounded enough I would say that it makes you look like are not deadlifting entirely proper.

[@ItsTheMunz]

I find 99% of back injuries on deadlifts and rows occur when the spine appears perfectly neutral. I honestly think these are just risky exercises and the risk increases with the load. I believe in the deadlift as a fundamental movement pattern and to teach people how to tighten up the body for heavy movements but in terms of progressing it significantly I have all but abandoned it as a trainer. Just my two cents. There is not enough reward in either muscle gain or functionality for me to obsess over getting people to do it progressively but I’ll often teach it foundationally.

[@boosta3094]

[@alexwilliams5587]

Boosta no deadlift like a normal person this guy is dumb as shit

[@gustavtanciulamadsen2928]

If 99% of your clients get back injuries when deadlifting with a neutral spine, then you are probably teaching it wrong

[@oopalonga]

Ya I dunno about the deadlift. I've always been strict with my form and the deadlift always locks up my lower back. Nevermind that I've tried strengthening my core, bracing and before lift, blah blah blah etc. I dunno. Perhaps it's just a shit lift. I mean why not at least use the diamond bar? At least it's more centered. I feel like people think deadlift is a legit exercise but perhaps it ain't. Never seen anyone over the age of maybe 45 do the deadlift. To me that speaks volumes.

[@MatiasStrengthCoach]

I loved how you used a valid research paper at the start, it gave me hopes for the video. UNFORTUNATELY research is lacking big time in the rest of the video. You dont NEED neutral spine for deadlifting, NOR IS IT INJURIOUS TO DEADLIFT WITH A FLEXED SPINE. As you said, powerlifting and strongman have low injury rates, if you've ever been or seen a PL o Strongman meet you'll see more back flexion than neutral spines. Tell people that their back is like a clip that will break with multiple flexiones (even unloaded as shown in the video) is not only RIDICULOUS but causes a huge nocebo effect. Such as "oh I flexed my back during a deadlift and now it hurts, is probably broken, I'll never deadlift again or take a month off training" WANNA KNOW THE REAL REASON YOUR BACK HURTS AFTER DEADLIFTING? You're probably giving more stress to your body than it can adapt to. Same as if you go to the gym and to 10x10 on barbell curls (given that you're not used to that). Most people are gonna take that pain the next day as a positive sing, or maybe just not negative. PLEASE STOP WITH THE NOCEBO EFFECT. Thanks. PS: with this said I'm not saying I teach new lifters to deadlift rounded, I don't. But that's a whole different discussion. Just don't say things that aren't true and risk other peoples views towards training and affect their lifestyle

[@jfm4794]

One Problem is that many people deadlift in slight lordosis/hollow back position out of fear that they might round their backs too much. This can and will likely in the Long run lead to lumbar spine pain or injury. Well coordinated overall core musculature is needed (especially transversal). So: All lifters, go practice Pilates in conjunction with your lifting workouts!

I felt soreness for a couple days after going up in weight for the deadlift. I have never felt this soreness before. Is this caused by bad form or just a first time in heavier weight?

[@barefootstrength]

The lower back should not be feeling tender after deadlifts. This is a sign that you are dominating the lift with the lumbar muscles (too much flexion and extension in the back). Instead, the hips should be used as the primary movers which lift the weight. In this way, any post exercise soreness would be felt in the glutes and hamstrings. So, to re-iterate. The back remains stable and never bends through the lift. This will prevent stress at the spine, while allowing the primary movers of the hips (glutes and hamstrings) to do all the heavy lifting.

[@channelchatterw1054]

I did first time and my back pain so mush is that normal now 2nd day of paining

[@JoeyCentral]

@@barefootstrength I disagree. You can have lower back stiffness after deadlifts even with proper form. I filmed myself doing a set of near maximal deadlifts and even with some of my reps not being textbook form, I not once had lumbar flexion. The fact is you are working the spinal erector muscles when you deadlift as well as your entire posterior chain, so therefore you are going to feel a bit of stiffness if you make the lift challenging. I am not saying that having sharp pain hours after the lift is good or normal, but I am saying that you aren't going to not feel a thing after doing heavy deadlifts with proper form either.

[@ChowMeinChowdown]

@@JoeyCentral yep. DOMs means you are pushing your muscles further than their current limit therefore triggering a growth response which is essential to muscle growth. The erector spinae muscles are no exception. There is no way around it if one wants to grow. Anytime someone overloads their muscles they are going to potentially be sore. The trick is to not push things way overboard, but to take smaller increments to reduce injury and facilitate the adaptative growth response.

[@pri5748]

[@davidfrancis6285]

The thing is when I keep my back kinda straight it doesn’t hurt but when I force it straight and slightly arched in the perfect form my lower back really hurst

[@barefootstrength]

The most important point here is to avoid spinal motion while the back is being loaded. So, even if the spine is kind of straight, but you are able to maintain that exact position throughout the lift, it is better than going from perfectly neutral and moving to kind of straight during the lift. The reason is that when motion occurs in the spine under load, it causes shear forces at the joints which are highly destructive to the tissue.

[@MisterBlex]

I'm curious if when most people complain about back pain, they are simply talking about back soreness. I have trained many clients on the deadlift, and rarely have I had clients say they feel a pinch or a sharp pain. It's usually a dull soreness, which is okay because the lower back muscles are under load. Usually, the soreness goes away after a couple of days, and if they're consistently training, it goes away entirely.

This scared me as it’s only been around a year since I started working out and only a month of deadlifting, because I do feel something on my lower back but it’s not necessarily pain it’s also a mix of soreness, do you know what that could be?

[@ezravall1677]

Obviously, having a neutral lumbar spine is probably a good idea. But the main reason people hurt their back weightlifting is because they’re not BREATHING AND BRACING properly.

[@TrustNJesusChrist]

I think this is directed toward conventional deadlifts. If you are doing sumo dl proper, you should have very little back problems.

[@barefootstrength]

Yes, sumo is definitely easier on the spine.... However, we very seldom lift everyday objects in the sumo stance... so, it’s important for people to build good a ‘conventional’ deadlift technique, as the skill transfers well into the other lifts...

I haven't had a problem with back pain until last week. Upped my weight a bit and felt the same soreness the next days. But this week I'm trying to do them and I can feel some hurt there in my lower back. Cant seem to have a full session today. Also last week I did hurt myself while doing barbell lunges. Made me stop my session early. And now this back discomfort. Ahh! Feels like I haven't done anything in over a week

You could still do stuff just lower the weight down to one where u don’t feel pain

Is it ok to have lower back soreness after deadlift ?

[@ancientsurvival9623]

im doing it with the straightest back in the fucking west and still get pain running next day after deadlifts

[@Mukation]

I never deadlifts cause i've 2 joints in the lower back that are slightly shifted (they're not aligned right, it's a family trait.... Dad has it, my granddad etc.... :P). But i had been lifting before now and then over the years and then when i actually started deadlifting i was weak as fuck (and got insane pain) compared to my other lifts (squats was never an issue, nor bench etc etc) I came to the simple conclusion that my hamstrings simply where (alot) stronger than my lower back (thus i was able to lift the weight, but not without getting pain in my lower back). I mean we're talking light weight here, 145 pounds (as a 5´11" 230 pound guy...) and i could barley move after three sets, my form was on freaking point, yet it hurt like hell for a few hours after and then i was soar as fuck the day after..... I was just weak. The pain suddenly stopped after the first month of hiting deadlifts 2 times a week. I'm no where near "heavy" weights but i've hit 315 for 2 reps and i'm currently using 286 for reps during my workouts. (i've been at it for about 3,5 months now doing Starting Strength, Rippetoe ain't perfect but his program works for me). If you're in pain and objectivly physically weak? Then i guess the vast majority of cases the "cure" is simply getting stronger. If you can deadlift 405 and still have chronic back pain then i guess it's time to listen to doctors, but if you're like me, who couldn't even do my own body weight, then screw any doctor who doesn't tell you to try and get stronger.

[@TechenZz]

Beware this advice, even when doing the deadlift correctly you can still injure your back if you add too much load for your muscles to handle. If you've always had a desk job but have been doing other activities like bike riding it is best to build up the weight slower than what your body seems to handle. If the soreness from a workout lasts a full week just take your time with the load, you might need to reduce the weight until you recover quickly. I also recommend training all the core muscles as it will really make your spine happy/resistant.

Any info on how one can recover from an injury sustained through incorrect form during a deadlift. Form is usually spot on but one bad lift. Felt a slight crack in Lower back which right now is causing shooting pains to the back of my right leg. Have tried searching up stretches etc but would like something more concrete. Love your video and will from now on strive to maintain correct form as per your amazing info.

I dont think your form is right. Make sure you get someone with experience to see your form and give you advice. Look after your back, you only have one.

[@Anonymous-so1ho]

Faulty comparison with the injury rates in powerlifters vs. in football/soccer players. Number one being: Survivorship bias - using low injury rates of powerlifters does not necessarily mean that it is safe for the average person, because the average powerlifter is not the average person; the sample does not reflect the population. If we assume that everyone is equally predisposed performance equally well while deadlifting, and that one becomes a powerlifter only through desire/effort, then it would be appropriate to conclude that deadlifting is a safe movement for everyone - and even safer for the average person, because, as mentioned, the average person is not trying to break world records, and therefore the demand placed on them is lower. But if consider that it could be the case that some people are genetically/anatomically predisposed to perform deadlifts more effectively/safely than others, then it would be safe to assume that the only people who are surviving to the elite level is those genetically/anatomically predisposed to perform deadlift safely/effectively; those predisposed to injury would never survive to the elite level, and therefore, the injury rate at the elite level should be expected to be lower than at the level of the average gymgoer. Anyone who has had a career ending injury while deadlifting, or at least an injury bad enough to make them wary of going back to it again, probably didn't go on to become an elite lifter. We can safely say that propensity to injure oneself during powerlifting serves as a screen for becoming a powerlifter. Does this mean deadlifting is a bad movement? No, not for everyone; but that doesn't mean that it is perfectly safe for everyone, either. This is true of every movement, but it seems that the likelihood of performing an unsafe deadlift, as well as the consequences of doing so, are a good deal higher for deadlift than for other movements, so lifters should approach with caution. They are very easy to do wrong, and you can be hurt quite badly, permanently, because the load is placed on the entire spinal column. It is true that if you do them correctly, you will not be hurt - not everyone is capable of doing them correctly. The spine is good at handling compressive forces, but shearing forces (introduced when the spine bends) are dangerous; if you lack the flexibility to pick something off of the floor without bending your spine, don't try to deadlift because you think it's something everyone should be able to do.

Deadlifting, and I am not joking, strengthen your spine

[@DOKTORPUSZ]

You need to start deadlifting again. Learn proper technique (Alan Thrall has a great video on deadlift technique) and start from a light weight and increase the weight gradually over time. Don't try to do as much volume as you would for other lifts. multiple sets of 5+ reps of deadlifts is excessive and you'll probably struggle to recover from it. 1-3 sets of 5, once or twice a week is fine.
