Re: back sore, slighly achy after deadlifting

I'm pretty anal about form and I've never experienced any pain either during the exercise or rest.

I sure everyone knows this but I think it is worth repeating. Make sure your form is PERFECT on deadlifts. I just cringe at the gym when I see people doing them with bad form.
Several years ago, I was going a pyramid set and I was fatigued at the top of the set at 365. I normally paid strict attention to form but this time I dipped my shoulders slightly causing a slight round in my back (nothing too off though) and it felt like the disk shot out of my spine at the start of the lift. I was in the ER that night with surgery to soon follow (and another surgery on the same disk last year). My back is still completely f'd up and it hurts every day and that will never change.
It you screw up a big lift you may not just injure yourself, you may cripple yourself like I did. Completely sucks.
