This morning I went to hit glutes and hamstrings. Did 4 sets of wide-stance squats first, and then went on to SLDL's. Put 275 on the bar and got 8 no problem, but my lower back was SO pumped that I had to stop. It happened from squats, and has happened before. Its debilitating- I can't do any exercises involved standing upright. These are my theories:
1- I didn't keep my abs tight enough when squatting, making my lower back do more work.
2- My spine and/or hips are out of alignment, causing extra strain on my lower back
3- Poor flexibility is the root.
Anyone else have potential theories?
