That "stop choking up" advice really hits home, sorry your back went through that.

My buddy Mike from the gym told me the exact same thing after I tweaked my lower back doing deadlifts last summer. I was curling my wrists under the bar like an idiot and it threw my whole spine out of line for three weeks. Did you find that fixing your grip helped with your other lifts too?

Man, I bet Mike from the gym is secretly a chiropractor cosplaying as a bro. Fixing my grip was like unlocking the secret level in a video game, everything else just felt way less broken after that.
