I gave it a try, with a few things different. Instead of the box jumps I just did jump squats (trying to clear at least 24"), I started to do the...
Glad you've seen the light :p Since you said your still new to deadlifts, heres a nice little guide on how to perform them correctly:...
The second one is a deadlift. The first one you described is a clean and press/jerk.
Its kind of hard to say..."slight issue" isnt very informative, it would be best to see a professional, especially when its your back. However I...
Some good articles on that site, the equipment is very nice too...just a tad expensive for my taste :P
