Deadlift giving you back tightness?
Everytime you have a deadlift session, do you start with rolling out, doing some soft tissue to your low back, and 20 minutes of band work to loosen up the hips and low back?
You've tried using a massager afterwards, doing deadhangs, and ice/heat when you get home, but your back still stays super achy and tight?
You are not alone, I've been there myself.
None of what you're doing is wrong, but modifying some of what you actually do with your deadlift will likely help you even more and help get rid of this tightness for good.
If this sounds like you, then give these movements/drills a chance. There's normally various factors causing the low back tightness with deadlifts, but these are a good start in addressing them.
