Especially with deadlift, back injuries are no fun at all.

  Indeed. Working up to a deadlift max doesn't take a lot of time, or a ton of sets. Like, 4-6 sets of 3-4 reps. Longevity and injury-prevention is key to long-term gym vitality... but people don't usually appreciate this until they injure themselves somehow. <40-something lifter, out...>

    Seconding this. 1 heavy deadlift set usually means 15 minutes of warmups.
