Hurting my back through bad form is the best way to force me into time off from the gym. I used to get hit like twice a year from a momentary breakdown of form in my bent over barbell row. I eventually just switched to dumbells and do one at a time where you lean on something. When I waa first learning deadlifts I was minorly hurting myself like every other week because I didn't know wtf I was doing

Moral is, sometimes certain exercises just don't work well for your body proportions or current strength level without risking injury. Don't be afraid to try something else that hits the same muscles but might work better for you. You can even circle back to that exercise later in your career. You might be ready then
