I did some deadlifts on friday, pretty though stuff all fatigued. when i woke up the next morning i was very ill, i think i cought something from my girlfriend. thing is, my lower back now hurts quite abit, and it is very stiff. it was very stiff right after i did the deadlifts too, but then it felt more like the muscles was just ****ed.. but now im afraid i might have hurt my spine at the lower back or something. it also hurts when i lie out flat on my stomach.
i was thinking that since i was ill, my body doesnt prioritate to recover the muscles.. so it will take longer time and hurt a bit, but im not sure :S
 
Most likely it is a muscle strain and not your spine. You are best putting hot packs on your lower back to try and relax the muscles. Also depending on pain maybe your girlfriend can give you a little massage ;) Take an NSAID (aleve, aspirin) to relieve the swelling and pain.
Feel better!
 
oh thank god! i was really afraid i could have screwed up my lower back. and yeah, muscle strain sounds right, i guess i shouldnt have been doing so heavy DL. first one day finding my max DL then one day off, then next day to find my 80% rep max thing:p
ill show my girlfriend this thread to force her to give me a massage:p
 
My back is usually a little stiff also after deads, not to that extent. I would think its because you lifted so much.

You caught a cold from her or...:p
 
what are you suggesting tony?:p
and the back is getting better now.. im just very afraid of messing up my lower back:p i love doing deadlifts and i would have to have to quit them just because i was loving them a bit too much:p
 
Just watch the weight and you should be ok. I have no idea what my max is on deadlifts, and I really dont care to find out. Im just moving up as I feel.
