This may seem like an obvious answer here but someone help me out. I have only been lifting since April 03. My training partner and I have been doing rack deads for sometime now. The last 2 back workouts we have incorporated dead lifts instead of rack deads. My question is "am I doing them wrong if my lower back is stiff for a couple of days after each workout?" I wouldn't say my lower back hurts, it's just extremely stiff. If I am doing them incorrectly does someone have an idea as to what I could be doing wrong? BTW I got 405 for 1 on the second workout.
