Welp. Deadlifts got my back. Now what?

Just rest, heat and pain killers?
I don't think it's a pull, but I definitely felt it immediately and my wife had to undress/dress me this morning.
fricking sucks. Was starting to really feel strong again. Now I'm out for at least a week.

Is the pain only in the lower back or does it travel down your leg? I've been there a few times and the only time it's lasted more than a few days is when I aggravated the sciatic nerve.

I can feel it in my arse

Well after you recover you most likely will have to spend time fixing your form.

Yeah I'm going to limit my weight once I get back and focus on getting stronger (with lighter weight) and form.
I think I may have slightly twisted or something. I was focusing pretty heavily on my form, but something obviously broke down.

What specifically were you doing? Not in terms of weight but were you doing heavy singles, or attempting touch & go?

Go to the gym and stretch out on this piece of equipment with only body weight. Continue to do squats, deadlift and other back exercises, but with super light weight. You need to stretch everything out.

10x3
I was at 185 lbs. Had already done 3 sets at that weight. Was on set 7. Was going to move up to 205 for the last 3 sets.
And yeah, touch and go reps.

Pro tip: lay on your back when resting. Sitting will puts all the pressure on your lower back
Posted on 7/26/17 at 8:08 am to jeff5891
yeah well...how do you relieve the pressure while sitting in an office chair for 8 hours?

What did your CF coaches say? Were they not watching you?

Did you feel the injury on the 2nd or 3rd Rep of a set?
It's not uncommon to lose your form while returning the bar to the ground. Many times you're back will round and you don't even really know it when you start those next pulls.

Yep. 2nd rep.

Is it best to just drop the bar?

Surely not.
Let's just face the facts. You thought you had old man strength when you didn't. Just rub some dirt on it you pup

I usually just drop it because the back injury isn't worth it.
Or ride the bar back down, keep your grip, but slow down and reset like you are mimicking your first Rep. Chest up to keep your back flat, shoulders back. You can do some things wrong and get away with it but that's not one of them.

I'm no MD but probably rest, ice to reduce inflammation, and pain killers.
I pulled something in my back on deadlifts a couple of months ago. I realized when I was DLing, my bar swung out a little and that's when my back tweaked. Gotta clean up the form once you're healed up; I'd advise against touch and go DLs and reset with each rep, especially at a 3 rep intensity.
You don't need to drop the weights entirely, but you have to be even more careful with your form on the way down.

FYI if you follow Layne Norton he just posted a video of him talking about when he hurt his back last year and how he got over it and back to full strength. He's a deadlift and squat machine
Biolayne is his website

Also you don't think it's a pull? So not muscular?
What's the pain like 1-10? Is it forcing you to walk hunched at all?
