Gonna start posting here again as the people demand it! I'm like Marcus Aurelius of ancient Greece giving the peons the entertainment they crave!
Since hitting single digit body fat levels I started to bulk (hence my absence from the weight loss thead fans!), was eating too much too quickly and after 6-7 months of ultra strict dieting my discipline eased up. Put on about 3.5kg in a month, obviously some of that was water but some was fat....on the 1000% SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN CALIPERS I jumped up to 12%
I'm now eating strict low carb for 5 days and then having an epic carbs/simple sugars meal as my last evening meal. Last night I was at 11.4% bf, I demolished 3 krispy kremes and a pack of cookies and got measured again this am at 11.2% BODY FAT.

I wouldn't recommend doing squats or deadlifts on a smith. Squats you could get away with, but deadlifts you're really risking injury. It's either going to make your hips shoot forward awkwardly (if you're too close) or your back round (if you're too far away).

Dude your upper back shouldn't hurt if you're dead lifts right, sounds like you weren't using proper form.

I would say it's because a smith deadlift isn't from the ground. It's more like a rack pull. And unless you're already an experienced deadlifter (know exactly how your body should be in all phases of the lift) you will end up starting weird. Likely his arms had slack in them and he was standing off the bar. He had to pull up with his traps, lats, and arms to get it above his knees, and from there it was a fucked lift no matter what.

I read on the internet a little and people seemed to agree that it is pretty normal to have soreness in your upper back, especially if you are either doing a lot of weight or inexperienced. But yeah, the first thought that came to mind was improper form. The smith machine makes it really awkward.

Also chaos, I would say that you can't properly do a dead lift on a smith. The entire premise of the exercise is lifting dead weight from the floor.
For proper form I was always told to focus on one spot on the wall in front of you about a foot above you and never move your eyes from it. That way your form will always be perfect

I think you're supposed to maintain a neutral head position. I strained my neck on Tuesday because I was looking up a bit on a max dead lift. I'm not saying it'll happen, since I've deadlifted for years with no issues, just that you'd be better off neutral.

I never understood why, outside of powerlifting, people want to 1RM squats, dead lifts, and bench. Doesn't seem at all like it's worth the risk of injury.
