I dun goofd. Went for a srs squatting session today, and on the last set my legs must've been tired, and crapped out on me. I dropped the bar on the rack and cracked my lower back. I've had minor lower back problems for a while, and I guess this was the last crack (lol). My back hurts like hell, and I'm stopping all physical activity until I get better. Now it hurts to walk, sit and bend over. I'm just glad I'm still able to walk. I took 2 tylenol so far and it's gotten a little better but I'll take some Advil PM tonight and I'll see a therapist soon.

Something similar happened to me. Was doing deep squats and in the hole felt a pop/crack. The next day it hurt badly an I had the same issues with bending etc.
Went to physio a month later when it didn't get better from rest. I found out I sprained my back(pulled a ligament on my spine)

Don't be. Just make sure you can handle the weight...and do it in a squat rack.Originally Posted by XxxOneMoRepxxX

If you've had back issues for a while now, even if they are only minor, it could be worth going the doctors about it. But I think resting it is definitely a better option then to continue lifting.

See the Chiro, he'll fix you right up. srs, you could probably lift the same night you get fixed up if you feel up to it.
