Well lets see the first 2 times I did deadlifts I hurt my back which flared up my sciatic nerve(a problem I had about 15 years ago).This was weeks ago and my back has long since healed but the sciatic nerve tends to make certain exercises feel like someone is sticking a dagger into the back of my left leg.I've been going to my Chiropractor weekly to fix this so it's slowly getting better.I've spent a lot of time reading and watching videos on deadlift form and I think my form is pretty much perfect now.I'm still gun shy about deadlifting too much weight right now so that's my biggest issue I'm dealing with.The step ups leave me REALLY sore for 2 days and I'm using 20 lb dumbbells with those.The lunges I'm using 20s also and I'm sore but not too bad.I'm going to try to use 25s on lunges next time and see if I can manage it without too much pain.Over all I really like this program and am actually excited to workout
