Bad luck about the back injury.AAAgent said:bench
dead lifts
6x185lbs
i bumped into the same trainer that i met last week. He was telling me to do stiff leg deadlifts if i wanted to isolate my lower back. well i ended up hurting my lower back because i tried 185 which was too heavy, then dropped to 135 which was alright but i think i already hurt my lower back.
i did complete my sets
6x135lbs
6x135lbs
did some flys and then left. my lower back was hurting alot and still hurts today. I'm going to take a few days rest and start back up on tuesday.
My understanding is that stiff-legged deadlifts are mainly for hamstring stimulation, with secondary stimulation for the back.
I would suggest continuing with the ordinary deadlifts as part of your back routine, and put the stiff-legged deadlifts as part of your leg routine.
Hope the injury gets better.
