The low back is an anchor point for several muscles. It doesn't sound like nerve pain. It could be a small tear in the facia/ligament. The lats anchor in the lower back as well as the erector spinae. If there's a knot there it could be a bad spasm. Valium or Flexaril are great for that. You said you've been icing the area. I have many freezie packs. various sizes and types always in the freezer. I hate icing my back but it really is the best thing you can do.

Thanks for the tips Melly! Gonna keep a close eye on it for now but today I'm feeling pretty good. Better than yesterday

No, the doctor prescribed me Naproxen and Tramadol but that's it. I've only been taking them as needed and they do help but not as much as I'd like.



You know how it is MP, the things we do for a meet. I've decided not to do the October meet. I think I'd just be rushing back too quickly so my next meet will most likely be March 2016

Sounds like a good plan Doc. You have to play it somewhat safe with back issues as it seems like they can linger a hell of a lot longer than most other problems.

You're a brave man pullkh that kinda volume considering the condition of your back brother. So is the ice and Ibuprofen working for you?

Definitely helping yes. And I was ready to call it a day and skip pulling if my back was acting up but it actually felt good. Just low back pumps like a mofo.

My dad has had over 4 surgeries on his back and numerous other injuries. I know and it sucks no matter how you look at it.

I know this all too well.

About two years ago, for about three months, I couldn't reach down to put socks on. Even lifting my leg and bending to put it into the leg of jeans hurt. I learned my lesson.

Bc I kept forcing myself to do power cleans without having the requisite mobility in wrist and shoulder on one side I developed bad tendinitis in my elbow/forearm. To this day it still bothers me.
 
Not sure this applies to you, Doc, but for the back injury I mentioned above, stretching it did NOT help. In fact, it seemed to prolong the injury. Once I stopped stretching it, keeping it in a fixed position as best I could, it seemed to start healing faster.

I just move around a lot at work so I'm constantly doing this and that which almost acts like a stretch but def no stretching now. I made sure to focus more on the valsalva and locking my lumbar in place before and through the pulls and I think it helped
 
Edit* I should add I fucked up my back squatting Saturday and called it a day early. Felt better today so I squatted and benched but skipped the flys and good mornings.

I did the flys today... been skipping a lot of good mornings and abs though lol.

The extras are all carefully added. Flys will help stretch the chest muscles and keep them loose with all the benching but also strengthen the pec tie in area by the shoulder. Good mornings will strengthen your back and posterior chain, lunges will help stretch the hips, etc etc. I'm thinking of skipping them during the week,'as I've been doing for some of them, and doing what I skipped on Sundays and add in some light OHP and bamboo benching

Oh and by the way, today was week 1 day 1 of #30. You think #29 is bad wait until you get to 30 and you'll be wishing you were a paraplegic incapable of lifting lol. Today was fucking brutal. 17sets and 69 reps of bench and 16sets and 54reps of squats. FUCK ME
 
I don't think I have the numbered ones. I have beginner 1 four weeks, beginner 2 four weeks and then certified master of sport 4 weeks.
