Really wasnt sure where to put this thread so if the Mods want to move it thats fine
Any way.
Did my back in about 6 weeks ago by over fatigueing it for 3 days and then deciding to do some beltless squatting…im an idiot and lesson learned.
Anyway. I can squat fine both deep with a high bar position and to parallel with a low bar to pretty much where I was pre injury. Overhead stuff is fine, I dont normally bench but that isnt a problem either.
My Problem? If I deadlift or rack pull without spot on form my lower back lets me know with a crunching sound and a bit of an ache for a few hours. I also like to do a little strongman work but given I have no tolerance in my lower back for anything other than a completely neutral spine, so doing strongman is not a good idea.
My Question? Has anyone got any thoughts of how I can rehab and rebuild some strength in my lower back so I can reclaim that bit of leeway?

Someone else said that too.
I’ve emailed an osteo so hopefully I should get an appointment through soon.
Just have to stick to things I can do at the moment and not push it beyond what I can do safely.[/quote]
There ya go! Just take it easy. No use making something worse for now. Best of luck, man.[/quote]
I just hate the taking it “easy” part. I did a really successful cycle of the fullbody 5/3/1 and have had to stop amd now I cant carry it on…sucks really.
I suppose I can use this time to build my grip to bridge the 50kg difference in my mixed and double over deadlift. It should reinforce technique as well.
I’ll have a look at doing some rounded back hyperextensions and good mornings (light though!) think I’ve got to get it used to moving again.
