Reply With QuoteI like these. Big strength increase in my lower back, although it burned like hell early on. Be smart, start realistically so you can keep form, and go from there.
Go side on in the mirror if you can, and keep an eye on your back.

How hard should SLDL hit the Lower Back
I tried some SLDL (first time) with lighter weight than normal DL and it did hit my hams very well, but it also hit my lower back a lot more than normal ones.
It felt like i could have handled more weight except my lower back could not.
My worry is, is that i am using bad form. But if others say it hits their lower back quite hard then i wont feel so bad.
I have looked at form guides on the net to do SLDL and i feel as though i am doing them with proper form.
it was at no stage painfullWHY?.....

Actually I think that's a big no-no. You should always have your head straight ahead when deadlifting. Have someone else check your form.

Its not a major twist, and when starting out with moderate weights shouldnt be a problem.
Having someone else is the best option though, but make sure they actually know what they are looking for.

Yeah you can really feel it in the lower back, I dont feel so bad now that others had similar experiences.
I might get a PT to come and watch my form.

There's no way to possibly tell how hard an SLDL will hit your back. My back might be strong while your back is weak, therefore you will 'feel it' more in your lower back than me. When my training partner squats with me, his back gets pumped and sore because that is his weak area which we're working on. I don't feel my back at all, or very minimally when i squat.
Point is, if you don't have the bad, injury type, pain you're probably fine. A good way to check form is to do the SLDL's by a corner where two mirrors meet. Its hard to explain but one of the gyms where i train has this set up and i can spot check my form by just looking over a little bit with my eyes for a sec while performing the lift."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate

If you have a cam-corder, use that to film yourself, upload it to YouTube, and then post a link here.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

It only really gets my lower back. My glutes and hams don't feel it much. Although I can't get to parallel or even close. My inflexibility prevents me.
Perhaps going lower would involve the glutes and hams more?No Milk, no.
Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.
