I deadlifted today for the first time since a minor back injury earlier this year. Was slightly nervous, back injuries are no joke. 

Post gym — my lower back feels great (a fair, light amount of soreness), and I’m feeling rejuvenated and very grateful 🙏

Deadlifted again this morning, I stopped at 3 sets bc my lower back was feeling sore, perhaps even lightly strained? I’m not worried atm because a) I did listen to my body and b) I’m still ramping up on weight slowly

When deadlifting, how do you distinguish between an acceptable amount of soreness vs overworking?
