So I've been having some pain for quite awhile and I usually just tough it out. But I figured maybe there's a reason behind it and someone else may have/had the same problem and might have some advice.
When I squat, I feel like my spine is just crushing and compressing, around the middle of my back. I get like a sharp pain as well. I 've tried putting the bar up high, low, and everywhere in between, with no help at all. hell, I don't even squat heavy and it happens(185lbs, I weigh 165). I also get pain in my lower back when I do leg press, like my lower back just gets so freakin tight it's crazy. I always keep good form too, butt down and a tight core. I had the seat tilted back all the way, so I might try moving it more upright.
I probably should add that with my job I wear a 30lb vest around all day, which i'm sure doesn't help.
I just bought an inversion table, just to see if that helps.
Any thoughts or comments? Much appreciated...
