Deadlifts are the most taxing exercise on the body. Deadlifts don’t suit everyone’s leverages. Some are better off sumo deadlifting or even using a trap bar. Learning the sumo deadlift if you’re constantly injuring your lower back with regular dl’s is the way to go. Puts you in more of an upright position which takes tension off the lower back and makes it more quad dominant.

Again, mans on point. Rep's of ten for deadlifts is just madness and asking for an injury to occur. May not occur right there and then but it will certainly kick start the process...
5, 6 max of a deadlift rep.
