Heat plus gentle movement. Get blood into it.

Yeah but what about my back?

[pyrogen]

slipped/herniated disc op? or maybe you pulled a muscle in your lower back. that chit sucks, you walk around looking like you got proud manlet's donkey dink up ya bum.

I’ve been doing rows for a decade, up to 275lbs and never hurt my back

Your form is probably off. You’re supposed to keep the bar close to your body, not let it drift too far away from you

[milfmanmilk]

you won't be hitting legs 2mo boyo

A couple days ago I did still legged deadlines and went too heavy with bad form. I felt fine though, maybe the damage was already done and now this just made me finally feel it. Not sure if it works like that though

Challenge accepted. I'll just use the pendy squat, leg ext and seated ham curl with high volume and be careful

Its more common to get a hernia from db rows

[SeymourGains]

It's still pretty tight

Anyone else recommend anything?

[WoofieNugget]

Tightness is your body's way of saying - leave this alone and don't move it much while I'm fixing it. Let it rest and focus on gentle movement to maintain ROM and you can use heat and/or massage to increase blood flow to encourage faster repair. Give it 48 hours and you will probably be fine unless you're having acute pain while moving like a stab in your back. Then you have a more serious problem.

What's worse? herniated or ruptured disc?

i know too many power lifters in their 50s showing that heavy weights are key to staying healthy

I disagree

Healthy diet and cardio is far less taxing on your skeleton

There will always be deviants to the norm

I reckon calisthenics pwns powerlifting for geriatric health

This.

I’ve gone to snap city from heavy bent over rows before. Switched to incline bench rows. My lower back is fuked.

Look up Donnie Thompson's low back protocol - have several friends who went from lower back fuked to lifting heavy again

If I dont lift tomorrow but walk on a treadmill for an hour is that likely to aggravate it or help?

You would be better off doing some kind of mild stretching if it's that bad and not overworking your hips. Your gains aren't going anywhere if you take a rest day and let your body recover, plus you'll be more likely to be able to lift properly sooner.

[jdforsy]

You gotta walk and keep walking. It’s the best way to get blood flowing and things loosened up.

it depends on what the injury is

[natypes]

Ice for 20m heat for 20m with a heating pad and wet towel, walk, go to the chiro, 3 naproxen at bed and 3 in the morning. Been dealing with back issues for 13 years these things will help.

[nkiritsis13]

Taking at least a day off and recovering will help in the long run over exacerbating your current state, let alone any potential injuries you might have. If you can see a reliable chiropractor, then that might be worth a go.

Hindsight's a motherfukker and all, but there are always hex bars. Neutral grip and it takes getting used to, but I had to switch over from standard barbells because of a point in my back from a missed spinal tap ages ago.
