Question: What are you supposed to do when you deadlift with correct form but your low back still bothers you?
The response to low back pain is always that, "your low back isn't straight", no?
Well I record myself deadlifting and can see that my back is straight. I can watch a form video and easily see the difference between a) straight back and b) round or inverted back so I have no trouble looking at my own back and spotting the difference.
Your next move is to insist that my back is rounded because it's impossible to have low back pain from deadlifting with a straight back, right?
My question to you is if I look at my back and see it looks perfectly straight and also feels like it's perfectly straight, even if it weren't, how am I supposed to correct what you will keep insisting is an issue with keeping my back straight when there's absolutely no fucking way for me to fix it? Back looks straight and feels straight to me, even if you say otherwise, there's no humanly possible way for me to tell otherwise as my eyes and feel both disagree.
So now what? You're just going to keep insisting it's my lower back rounding in spite or there being no way for me to apply such advice? I mean if you can't see or feel your own back rounding after looking and adjusting forever, what are you supposed to do? I have no problem getting into position with my back straight either. Now what. Your advice is fucking terrible and should be dismissed at face value.
Post video of this "straight" back >inb4 lumbar extension instead of lumbar neutrality

protip: just because your back is straight doesn't mean you're deadlifting right. also stop saying you record videos so we can trust you when you don't fucking post the video.

A spine naturally has curve or else it compresses at odd angles. It's the same when squatting, your back should have a slight arch.
Always talk to your doctor first though, they know more

Valsalva manuever? This is BASIC shit you're telling me. I know absolutely every single basic form advice parroted around the web, what it looks like and how to do it. I NEVER had low back pain in my entire life until I started deadlifting so you can't blame it on something else. Now what?

lay flat on the ground face down, raise your legs just a bit and let it there for some seconds. Those muscles in the lower back are the ones that should be focused on when dead lifting.

Tell me how you are supposed to tell me my back isn't straight when there's literally no way for me to see or feel it? Even if my back weren't straight, it looks perfectly straight to me and feels straight. You wouldn't be able to say otherwise and have it be of any use to me. I can easily see the difference in other people's form videos but somehow I can't in my own? You're retarded if that's your logic.
