(Beginner Question about Deadlifts) - to all the seniors here.

Is it normal for my lower back to feel pain during&after deadlifts? Or is it because of bad form?

I've just started doing deadlifts this month. It's my 3rd time doing it. Lifting about 60kg(not including the bar).

Let's see.. I've consumed...
Breakfast
Protein Shake & Milk + 4 Whites, 3 Yolks ( Omega 3 Eggs ) apparently one egg has 10g of protein in it.
(24g + 15g) + 35 of Protein

Brunch
Subway's Breakfast, Tuna & Egg
Approx 10g of Protein i guess?

Lunch
Beef Pasta, Lean Beef 200g, 100g = around 36g based on the Internet so...
70g of Protein

Post-workout
Shake
48g of Protein

Dinner
Half chicken with salad
Approx 30g of Protein

Dessert/Supper
1/2 scoop whey + milk + natural low fat yoghurt
around 20g of protein i assume?

Total = 249g of protein
And i'm currently in bulking phase, my weight is 75kgs
Too much protein intake, i assume? :/ Usually its 1g/lbs right.. What happens to the excess protein?

deadlifts works on your lower back

Gains depend on you. If you have good diet + good workout, you'll see gains. Bad diet + epic workout, you'll not see less gains. Construct a good diet, stick to a workout program at least for 6 months. Then you'll know whether a workout is good for you or not.

Deadlift works your back, the whole back. And traps, legs, core, forearms. If you doing it correctly, then you got nothing to worry about.

You'll get kidney stones

100g of Beef = 32g protein is pretty amazing lol. But yeah well, time to cut down on my protein intake

Nothing would happened if you consumed more protein. Marc LoBliner (ex-ceo of Scivation) took 500g of protein each day because his calorie intake for competition is around 5K kcal. As long as you consume enough calorie to bulk, then you are good to go.

my friend go this problem too, after looking at his deadlift, his form is wrong...
you should not feel sharp pain, you should only feel sore or pump on the lower back, or the entire back, or even hams and glutes
maybe you could watch some videos and see if your form is correct

LTK Omega 3 eggs has 10g of protein, legit? Lol. Seems pretty 'amazing'.

Its 10g per 100g but the egg weight is somewhere around 80g, so the protein is 8g per one egg.

any idea on replacing squat with deadlift on layne norton PHAT on both lowerbody power day and hypertrophy day ?

deadlift actually my favourite exercise but that template only suggest replacing squat with deadlift once in a while

im thinking of doing deadlift all the way and replacing deadlift with squat once in a while lol? does it work ?

example template of PHAT

I'm still beginner, considered. I'm on my 6th month right now, and the gains on my back and legs are huge. But I've been stalling loads due to inconsistency for a month or so and also bad form, so remember to really practice and learn, consistently.

Just go to the stronglifts.com website for information, also you can subscribe to their email newsletter and get a free e-book with hundreds of success stories + workout format & exerciese program 100% free. And check out their archives, they have tips on warming up, form on all their exercises and everything. I love it. You'll get the most gains during the first 3 months tho. But my advice is to be extremely consistent, especially after the first 3 months when you're dealing with heavy weights.

I used to have pains during and after my deadlifts but then I corrected my form and had no problems since. You should get a pump at maximum, but nothing more. Your 3rd time doing it? Should start off lighter.

Thanks for all the tips! I video-ed myself today, found out my lower back rounds up when I'm getting the weight up. I will try to go lighter and focus more on form. Thanks again guys, really helpful.

It's probably fine to do that since you still have quad-dominant exercises in the routine other than squats. But don't expect a lot of increase in your squat poundages if you're not doing them.

even if i ditch out stiff legged deadlift and double the volume of leg press ?

thn i might consider sticking back to the original routine

You'll probably be able to get a bit stronger on squats, but it definitely won't be as much as if you were including squats. The best way to get stronger at an exercise is to do the exercise. So if your squat numbers are your goal, leaving squats out won't really help. But if you're just after hypertrophy, it's not a problem as long as the quads get trained in one way or another.

heheh

nice i'll stick with deadlift and squat once a month

tq bro

the nutritional facts says that their eggs are 100g. Usually one egg has 6gs. Oh well, go omega 3!
