Just foam roll and see if you have any knots.
Knots are trigger points which gives you that "good pain" when you put pressure on them, and after ~30s the pain goes away.
If it doesn't go away it's...

Hey brah I feel ya, when I started I was in a pretty extreme condition, I couldn't even lift a few kg without pain & tightness in my back (srsly)

My best advice is start small, progress in baby...

It's pretty much physically impossible to prevent APT when you sit.
The only thing I can think of is keeping thoracic extension, e.g. instead of slouching over you puff your chest up & head back....

It does, read it again - the concept of Anterior tilt goes something like that :
• [tight/overactive] hip flexors, quads, lower back.
• [weak/long] core, glutes, hams.

Brahs, got myself minimal shoes. (NB minimus road)

It only has 4mm heel drop (compared to 12mm+ for normal sport shoes), that straightens the foot way better.
Though imo these sort of things...

There are some suppliers that bring in 4-5$/kg of higher quality rubber that's an option. (still a no-brand china import...

Cheers mate, looking for black ones but still defo good to know.

If you still have problems sorting form with all above advice after a few weeks (like your muscles are too stiff), you can do what I did...

Sounds like a small tear in left internal oblique not QL, but it doesn't really matter as treatment is the same.
