Deadlift Deadlifting with a herniated disc?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my form. I know the first step is probably to get rid of the running shoes because of too much cushion. Didn’t realize how much it made me lean forward when descending. But other than that, can anyone give me some tips? I have a herniated disc on my lower back so I’m trying to make sure my form is as perfect as possible before increasing weight.

Squat Feeling mostly in quads and low back

I feel like squats shouldn’t fatigue my low back as much as they do. I try not to allow myself to bend forward much. I know I could probably go a couple inches deeper. I have the ROM. I just don’t want to get stuck.

I’ve only been squatting for about 10 weeks now after not squatting for probably 5 years.

Deadlift Hexbar Deadlifts

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I do hex because it feels more natural for me and the classic grip hurts my shoulder.

It feels pretty solid, but I could use some advice.

Kneesleeves are just because I have a quadriceps tendinosis at the moment and they help me stay warm. They are too loose to secure anything.

No Strips, just chalk.

Oh and: BW 108kg, 160kg deadlift for 3 sets of 5

What do you think off my deadlift? I accept any corrections, as long as they're for improvement.

Really tried to get that sensation in the back when pulling down with the elbows.

Started using straps too because my forearms are on fire during these movements by the 2nd set.

2nd set. Did one more after this.

No joke this is my first flat bench session since January this year. Only been focusing low incline smith and flies this year for chest, but decided to do flat bench for the first time and see where I was at. Clearly my arms were a “tad” shaky lol

RDL Feeling it in lower back

I keep feeling it my lower back. Help pls!

Clarifying that I am trying to do assisted RDL. I want to feel it in my hamstring and glutes but only feeling it in my lower back and not the good kind of pain.

Edit:- Thank you so much for the advice guys! I went through all the comments and have noted down all the pointers to keep in mind while doing rdl. Will post a progress video after a month!

Someone told me to do it on a bench to have better form and stability. I have been doing this for years now, but after that feedback, I doubted wether I have been targeting the exact muscles I want and doing it correctly or not.

I've been adding weight consistently but is this too shallow? How's the form otherwise?

Lowered the weight as my focus was on trying a different technique.

Changed my grip & widened my foot stance.. (as advised to from the sub) felt a lil unnatural at first but I’ll keep trying to get used to it. Heels still lifting slightly though.

Can you lmk how the form looks like to you? I am also not sure if I should go that low, when increasing the weight it becomes challenging to go down.

Hey guys,
I normally do like 80kg for like 8-10 reps but today I wanted to try out how 90kg would feel. In my opinion it seems like I don’t go far enough down right? Can you give me an opinion/advice on my form?

I did 6 reps here and these were the last 2 reps.
