Just entered snap city like an hour ago. I'm dumb, but am I rounding my back? I was only able to record the first rep, but I heard and felt a pop in my lower back on the 3rd rep and have pretty bad pain right now. Pretty sure my form got even worse on the later reps as this is the heaviest I've attempted DLing. Filesize too big and I'm retarded at making webms so:

Anyone? I would like the not repeat the same mistake in the future so any input is welcome.
First of all, go to a Physical Therapist or Chiro (preferably both) and get it looked at.
Second of all, your form on the DL could improve, in terms of lift-off, SQUEEZING the chest UP till it's uncomfortable can help even out the lumbar and thoracic parts of your spine.
Lastly, a trick I use to help flatten the back and engage the lats more is think of pulling the weight with your ring finger, idk how this works but I feel more recruitment from the lats when I do this which helps take some of the weight off of my lower back

I scheduled an appointment with my primary care physician tomorrow. I don't think I've been engaging my lats hardly, and chest could go higher since I thought that would hyperextend my bad when I think you're supposed to have a neutral one.
But I'll try again and try and adjust my form. Thanks for the help.
