tight lower back?

[blackbeard]

The last two weeks ive had extreme tightness in my lower back after squatting..it lasts a few days and is always the worst in the morning when i wake..i stretch everyday as it is..i havent used a belt for squats..i got a brand new mattress 2 weeks ago so i hope it isnt that lol..any ideas?

Are you also doing deadlifts? I have found that deadlifts and squats are a good combination because the deadlifts strengthen my lower back and I put a lot of strain on my lower back when I squat. Squats strengthen my legs and thus make it easier to deadlift. When these two exercises have a symbiotic relationship I have more strength in both exercises. Also on one of your days off, spend that time stretching, yoga might even help.

Iv noticed that if i leg press before i squat my back gets really tight, but if i squat first then leg press it doesnt hurt at all. Just some food for thought. Oh and stretching cold after a workout does nothing for me. I only stretch in a really hot shower with the water beating down on my lower back. Seems to make all the difference in the world for me.

Sometimes shit just happens, last time i had massage it helped everything and it didn't come back. IMO sometimes you just need to get everything loosened and cut back a bit. That being said, i heard pullinbig is now making housecalls for his massageing, but only to males and they must be "cute" as he puts it, whatever that means, lol.

thats along the lines i was thinking..its just so damn hard to go into the gym and go light...

Well, I would say hamstring flexibility, as that is the #1 cause of lower back pain (relative to OUR population group), but if you stretch every day, that shouldn't be a problem. I'm at a loss, really.
