Hi Cathe! I don't usually post a question to you often but I just have to ask this. Every time I use PLB tape I have such excruciating pain in my lower back. I can easily use a 60# barbell for my back I have a strong back, however, by the time I reach the last round of deadlifts I'm crying ;( Am I perhaps doing the deadlifts all wrong? Should I substitute dumbbells instead? Or is it from bending down & changing the plates so much? I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. HELP! Kathy
