hurt back on deadlift

[lovbyts]

I have pretty sever back issues due to 3 ruptured disks. I do light dead lifts starting not long ago. I get massive back pumps/pain after only a couple sets. I find that doing decline sit-ups after every set of dead lifts helps a LOT otherwise I can hardly walk.

on a similar note (i mentioned l4 / l5 issues that i have). when doing squats i'll sit down on the ground and lift my feet off the ground a little bit - anything to get the low abs firing just a little bit. seems to "pull" the spine back into place (very minute, but feels good and relieves the stress)
