Oh, man how timely this is. My form's so bad on squat that my weight is light enough that I won't have to bail (just ask Pete and Robert).

On DL, I have a fear of reinury. It may be pussing out, but with a history of back injuries (one very bad injury 7 years ago), how do you recommend we balance the line between getting greedy and being too conservative?
