Hello. I’m not that big as it is but had a question. I dead lifted 235 as of today, but for the first 2 or 3 sets, I get this burning pain like I tore something right above or along my waist on the right side of my stomach. This has been happening lately for the last 3 or so deadlift days, even with light weights.
I do a 5x5 program, with one light warm up set. Usually, 135(warm up), then 5x5, 215,220…etc. I put on whatever I can hadnle inc. everytime.
Are hernias felt in the stomach like that? The position he’s describing (side of stomach) sounds like the oblique or something. In which case, perhaps he could be lifting unevenly or something, maybe deadlift dumbbells (which would be lighter too, less strain) could help?
