The Deads KILLED me again today. And I'm afraid my form is not very good. I have trouble keeping my back straight when I go from the floor. Wonder if I should go back to racked Deads, probably. And I had rivulets of blood going down my shins today. People were looking at me weird, and I don't blame them.

If you have a problem with keeping your back flat when pulling from the floor what is the point of raising the wieght every set?? Why not use a weight that you can use with good form and work form there? Remeber, you do have scoliosis. There is no reason to do anything foolish.

If I put 135 on the bar and do it from the ground my back still curves. It's not so much the weight. But I agree with you, that's why I'm thinking full deads are not good for me. I don't have so much of a problem with racked so I think I should go back to those. What do you think P?

Thanks Var!

Prem- they were staring because I had blood running down my legs and I was still working out. They were probably afraid I was infecting everything with something! LOL

I think it would be wise for you to go back to working within your given range of motion. If you had no back problems i would say work on your form (sitting your ass back more) and flexability (hamstrings, lower back) but given your specific situation I think you should back off and do what you can do.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
