Don't stop just because it hurts!!!

Don’t quit doing an exercise just because it hurts.
.
Let me say this again. If you’re doing an exercise and it begins to hurt, and it has not hurt in the past, then your body is trying to make you aware of something. The pain you feel is your body’s way of saying, “Pay attention to me! Something is different than before!”
.
So before you decide to stop deadlifting, do these three things first!
.
Analyze your form. 9.99999/10 you’re moving in a way that is different from how you normally do it. It could be inadequate warmup, not paying attention to your setup, or just not mentally being in a state of mind that you need to be in in order to sequence the movement together.
.
If you can’t find anything wrong with how you’re moving, dial back the intensity. Decrease the weight or decrease the volume or change your rep schemes, ect. If your pain comes at a certain weight (intensity), go back to the paragraph above. If your pain comes halfway through your total amount of sets, you haven’t adapted in a way that can handle that much overall work; decrease the total amount of sets (volume).
.
If you have pain throughout the entire range of motion no matter what, deadlift off of an elevated surface. If you find a height or range of motion that is pain free; stick to that range of motion while you go back to the first paragraph and look at what is going on during that range of motion that causes you pain.
.
(not shown because it doesn’t normally go this far) If you do all of those things and you still have pain, swap out the barbell for a kettlebell or two dumbbells. If this takes your pain away, go back to paragraph one because you may have missed something.
.
Quitting a movement because it hurts hardly ever fixes the reason it started hurting in the first place. Let pain be your guide.

Nice write up. Hard to make progress if you just stop all together. Take notice, remember the details and keep moving forward after making adjustments.

Always looking for a way to modify lifts to deal with pain. Just part of the aging process.

i have to workout with chronic pain. it is as it is. but i still get full workouts. i can't do a barbell bench, but db work okay most of the time. found out recently, i have a separation of my clavicle in my right shoulder. it's old and don't know how i did it, but it causes considerable pain at times. so i work around it the best i can.

Take care of yourself brother and good luck with the injury. CBD oil works for me for pain.

thanks, i've got several old injuries. going to see va ortho for torn meniscus in my left knee, with other things messed up in it, and of course, arthritis. haven't tried cbd oil, and have been reluctant, because i get va care and they frown on its use, big time.

One of the things that we have to do it realize is that there is a big difference between good and bad pain. Listen to your body!!

sure got that right brother, i haven't always done so and paying the price for it. a lot of injuries are from accidents i've had. you when you're a laborer, stuff happens, like i when through a roof once up to my mid thigh. things like that.

you should stop if it hurts bro otherwise you get injury
hurts you need to deload and work on recovery

Definitely you want to push through that pain when you're doing a set. Too many people stop.

Definitely no pain no gain. I've had my best growth when I really pushed myself beyond what I normally could.
