Yep, sorry for the lack of posts, I thought my lower back was better before but it's not I need to give it a proper rest, so now I'm taking a week off from squats and deadlifts (something I should...

Thanks man, I don't think it will take too long to heal up, feels a little better already. I brought a foam roller today as well so that might help it a bit. Glad I can still workout to some extent...

Thanks for the advice, that's my plan I'll just have to do what I can at the gym for now, I've just brought a foam roller as well so that might help it too. Once I'm back I'm going to go alot lighter...

Tried going light today on rows and squats, but it still hurts particularly on the Barbell Bent Over rows. When I'm doing the exercise it's fine but when I rack the bar and straighten myself out...

Barbell Rows 3x5 62.5kg

Annnnnnd I'm injured again :/ I've been getting some mild lower back/glute pain for the past 2 weeks now and I've just been sort of...

So I probably won't need to take time off if I can figure out what's wrong with my form and fix it? Or do you think I should take time off to let it heal first?

By the way I think it's more in my glute than my lower back, it's kind of hard to tell because it kind of seems in-between, sort of the very top of my left glute. I can do weighted hypers with no...

Ok, I'll try and film something with my phone next time I'm in the gym. Should I still go in and workout as normal on thursday? I was considering taking a week off to let it heal but I'm not really...

I've been on Jason's Novice 5x5 program for 1 month now and only recently started deadlifting. In the last two weeks I've noticed I don't get any pain when I squat or deadlift but after I finish...

Yeah sounds like it's probably the bar, it's a really cool gym though. A lot more serious than my old one, some girl was doing 80kg deadlifts for like 20 reps a set while I was struggling with my 1x5...

Once my knees better I think I'm going to go to my uni's gym instead of the one I'm at right now. It's 50 minutes walk from where I am atm but there's loads of power racks with no time limit's and...

Thanks man, it feels a lot better today, I think staying away from squats for a week was the right thing to do, feels like it's actually getting better now. Usually when I wake up for the first 20...

My knee was pretty bad after that last workout feels a little better today but it hurts a lot to do anything where I bend down like deads or squats. I can walk fine but if I lie or sit down for too...

After the summer I'm moving really close to uni, so then I'm going to start going to my uni's gym which is cheaper and has like 20 power racks, it looks so good! That gym is an 1 hour and 20 minute...
