Funny but it's true. Hell, my 3rd time deadlifting I had an appointment with my trainer and almost cancelled because of 3 different back issues which all flared up(scapular pain, mid back and a new lower back issue). I couldn't get in and out of a car without pain, but I wanted to see if things would resolve and I waited to the last minute to where I didn't want to cancel. I got to the gym and convinced myself that I could handle the movement. Put on a belt, tightened my core, and got through several sets, working my way to my PR at the time of 315. I fully expected to regret it the next day. Nope. Back felt great.
When I started doing bar squats I thought I found my favorite exercise. Then I deadlifted. I get excited thinking about them, which sounds kind of strange. The feeling I get after properly executing a heavy deadlift is... almost better than sex. My body seems to be built for the movement and moving that much weight just feels amazing. Nothing has worked my traps and hamstrings like DLs.
