To squat or not to squat...That is the question?

I deadlifted 250 2 days ago and lower back is still sore....should I squat 205 for 3x5 today? I want to..but I also don't wanna be injured

If you're going to the gym anyway then start warming up with the squat as you normally would, if you feel good then move up to a working set if not then skip squats or use slightly lighter weight.

Sore as in you injured yourself, or sore as in doms? If its doms you should be fine to squat, try foam rolling your back sh!t works wonders.

If you have a steam room or sauna, sit in there before you workout and stretch your legs. It feels great and gets you ready for your workout

Sore as in DOMS but ok I'll warmup Nd see how it goes

Work your way up to a heavy squat, start light and add weight. If it feels bad dont do it though, messing your back up is bad news

warm up well and use spinal alignment techniques. ex. for warm up after you do dynamic stretches do bodyweight squats, then lunges, then step ups and this will help to align your spine. after that I would do an activation technique such as planks to get your core and glutes to fire correctly when you squat so there is no break in the chain
