A bad deadlift rep injured my back and caused major sciatic pain that I've lived with for about 3 years. I was careless and pop, that did it. Very stupid on my part. Since then I've been doing trap bar deadlifts, and have really grown to love them. I do them using the same technique I used pulling conventional deadlifts as opposed to the more squatty style you sometimes see. They certainly seem to be a bit more forgiving, plus you can really load them up and go heavy which is great. I know even Jim Wendler has moved to mostly deadlifting with the trap bar and squatting with the safety bar.
