It was probably a back strain/sprain. Before going through that, I expected that a deadlifting injury would be debilitating and would take months to heal from. The reality was... different. That's my point.

Someone I know hurt their back during a deadlift. They were out of commission for months until they had surgery to shave a disk.

So.. don't assume that your results are predictive of the results for everyone (typical mind fallacy/typical body fallacy?)
