OP here, Im mid cut and don't lift too heavy, and didn't even lift heavy when I popped my back on a deadlift, I think 300 or so. I was extremely careful with my form and core bracing, but I ended up having a bad rep at the very end of a set and that's all it took. a year earlier 8 had a similar experience on a deep squat and I think everything was downhill from there.

I thought I initially pulled a muscle, and then a week later I had a similar pop just picking up an empty bar and its been shit ever since. looking back I wish I would have never even started deadlifting or squatting again. I really love the actual lifts and it's going to be hard to give it up, but I don't want to do anything where a single minute instance of bad form wrecks my life for months on end or longer

have you tried just building muscle? that's what I did.
