Lower Back issue with squats

[Cam_NZ]

Got a painful sensation while doing squats in my right lower back. I've reached 100kg and its only started up now( at the top of the squat as i straighten up). Any idea what i can do to increase the weight without having this problem. Maybe a belt but 100kg isnt really heavy enough to start worrying about a belt is it?

doctors time maybe

Cheers

Sounds like technique ... how do you structure your training ... suspect your not sitting far enough into it?? Have you got a vid?

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

maybe don't straighten all the way up to the top untill you're done with your set for now... need videos to see

and happy birthday \:D/

Try doing front squats, I find the stress on lower back is reduced alot for me.

[mrsym0r]

keep your back straight, do not curl your hips in

wait for the back pain to go away before doing another squat session

make sure you're going the full depth with your squats, with your thighs parallel with the ground (or deeper)

elbows under bar stay upright throughout movement.

My back sometimes feels dodge if I do forced reps or something so make sure if you are going to fail TP has your back, if you get stuck try and push through just for a couple of seconds don't compromise form too much.

has your back. lul.

I think I know what you mean as I have the same knd of pain, is it a stabbing sharp pain? I get this when Ive been doing 3+ heavy squat sessions a week or when I practise golf for 2+ hours in a day then go squat. I find that resting it makes it go away after about a week. I have it at the moment from doing squat walkouts with 205kgs last saturday so not gonna squat heavy till it subsides

Also have this problem, same with deadlifts. It's like my lower back needs to be straightened out slowly, almost like a spasm.

I've replaced the squats and deads with some extensions and curls in the meantime to give my back a bit of a rest. Will see how it goes again.

Must say it is worse with deads than with squats though.

cheers guys, yeah kinda like a stabbing pain, always on my right side. I may not be straight enough or something, will try get a video this week. Funny thing is that it isnt there for deadlifts, specifically for squats

Cheers
