Rib pain while deadlifting

[Diesel City]

I'm experiencing some serious rib pain while deadlifting. Everything is fine when I stand up, but when I sit the weight down. It feels like my ribs are going to break. Anyone else ever experience this?

is your belt shifting? maybe it rides up when you pull and its digging into your ribs when you go back down?

The belt can cause problems for short waisted people. You may have also strained the muscles between your ribs. The trick is to find out what caused the pain so you can figure out a way to prevent it in the future. I messed up my ribs once in a bench shirt that was too tight.

I don't think it's the belt... I think it has more to do w/ the muscles between the ribs. I noticed it yesterday during a squat workout...

I know what is the problem

No BS, How large is the belly? I remember doing leg presses and the gut was to big. I like to go all the way down. I guess to much belly got shoved under the rib cage and I broke 3 ribs on my right side. I am happy it was a leg press and not a squat or I would be dead from dropping the weight.
