I've posted here questioning if deadlifts were worth it for me. No matter how low I keep the reps, I will tweak my back and have to take a few weeks off and start over at a low weight.
For a while I thought I had solved the issue by pulling nothing but singles (and doing my damndest to get tight and pull without flexion in the back) but it still managed to tweak it.
Then I went to singles deadlifts off blocks (only a 3-4 inches off the ground) and still got a tweak.
When I go back to a proper gym, I'm going to do just trap bar deadlifts with the elevated handle.
For a 47 y/o with long femurs that doesn't compete in powerlifting and has a history of tweaking his back, I don't think the deadlift is for me.
