      If the pain persists, you probably have a weak low back, which can be fixed doing romanian deadlifts and some stretches.

    I do my deadlifts like you, but I remember when I first started deadlifting at the age of 58. I was afraid so I did a lot of research. I looked at ( i guess ) famous coaches for powerlifting. I remember using the legs to get the weight moving from a dead stop was one of the biggest help for me. My core wasn't developed yet.
    Now 4 years later (age 62) I do more of a rdl style with no belt, i do 400lbs sets of 4.
    Definitely not an expert, I am just telling you my experience with this lift. I was afraid of it, and now i love it. It just feels so good. 😊
    Oh, and on days that I don't feel like being in the gym, the checklist is the most important thing. I think it saves me from injury when my head is not in it while i do my beginning sets and warm-up. ✌️

    Such a good exercise for the back, bottom to top. It elongates my spine for about 3-5 days and prevents cracking. Not sure there are any studies done but when I mention my benefits on various chiropractor channels or chiropractors channels posing as PTs, I would get disregards and shoe-away (like 'you were lucky') type comments. This exercise essentially keeps your back feeling like a mid-20s to mid-30s person for days after doing it.

    I agree with everything he explained except on occasion. I do like to squat down if I'm going super crazy heavy. Especially if a little fatigued, it's, it's not going to hurt anything to get a little more push from the legs on a big lift. Just my opinion and trust me. The benefits have paid off over the years.

    I still have yet to do a deadlift. I got a hernia a few years ago lifting too much (a bed frame at fedex) and the thought of going through that pain again scaries me.
