Hamstring injuries sucks.

I wanna talk about post intensive days work. What I mean is, say the day after high intense and high volume deadlifts, do you need to be a bit more careful in the moves you do throughout the day? I mean it sounds pathetic, but twice now i've had a hamstring injury come on a day after a heavy workout where I put the muscles under awkward load.

AMRAP deadlift, 15 reps -> next day I did some shoveling and yard work. Hamstring injury occured first time.

Let it heal, 3 months later I started doing more intensive hamstring work (RDL) and so on.

Day after heavy deadlifts -> bend down in an awkward position repeatedly, feel a pop in the hamstring on the last one. Now I have a hamstring injury again.

I'm not looking for advice on my injury or anything so I hope my question is allowed, but this is starting to get really annoying. Both injuries didn't actually happen in the gym, especially not the 2nd one, where i felt a clear pop the day after, bending over.

What's going on? If you were training close to an injury, could such things the day after push it over the edge?
