Back feels pretty tight. Not fun. I shouldn’t have made that big a jump in the DL yet.
Also I don’t think I was engaging my hamstrings enough on the deadlifts. Will try Romanian deadlifts next time to engage them for warm ups.
Is it normal to have a little discomfort, tightness, and warmth in your low back after your first deadlifting workout In 17 years?
