Started deadlifting about a year ago, did it twice per week. In 6 months I went from 1 plate to 3 plates. Then I got my trainer and he gave me a new back workout to do, no deadlifts tho, focusing more on upper back since it was seriously lacking (rows, pullups, reverse flies).
All this deadlift talk made me want to try some, did my warmup set of 12 @ 135, then 2 sets of 6 @ 225 and was absolutely dying, tried a set @ 275 and only did ONE! Sooo pissed!
Guess I just got paranoid, all these older lifters (35+) we're telling me how they threw their backs out doing heavy deads, but whatever, i'm getting back into it. My question is, can I split my back workout (day 1: upper back, day 2: lower back) I just find it soooo hard to get a good workout after doing deadlifts first, it just drains my energy, but I don't like doing them @ the end of my workout either, because at the end of a back day I have the grip of a little girl.
