Alright so i started smolov today and during my second set of 265x8 i noticed some pain in m lower left back. It was faint and i figured it might just be muscle tightness. However after my third set of 265x8 the pain escalated and its like a deep pain that made me run to the bathroom and dry heave. I figured it might have been my belt pushing up against it so i took my belt off.
I did 285x5 which hurt but wasnt too bad. But on my second set first rep of 305x2 it exploded with pain and i ran and threw up. I cut my workout short by 2 repa and im pissed but this **** hurt. The pain is localized right under my ribs next to my spine on my back.
I decided im going to start drinking more water and stop takin my preworkout.
Anyone have similar issues or any tips? Much appreciated.

Ive had it before but it was never this bad. Hmmm. On a scale of 1-10 probs a 6 on pain. Didnt alarm me enough to seriously worry.
The vomitting is probably greatly attribued to the fact that im doin smolov, which is significantly more volume than im used to for squats. Ive thrown up during sheiko as well
And i have a cold.Never Give Up, Never Surrender.

Because it only hurt when you bore weight I suspect that the pain was not coming from your kidneys. It is most likely a pain coming from an injury to a muscle. People show up at the ER all the time claiming kidney infection and the problem is actually a torn muscle or a trigger point in their back. Drink more water, stretch, warm up better and maybe try a lower volume program.

You should probably get that checked out man. Or atleast stop doing such high volume squatting until it goes away.

OP: It sounds like might have developed psoas tendinitis/iliopsoas tendinitis and strained or tore the psoas during your set. This exact problem happened to me a few weeks ago. I was doing a high frequency Dan John routine (deadlift 5x a week), and started developing pain and pressure in my lower left back under my ribs. I thought it was my kidneys and freaked out a little bit. Talked extensively to my best friend, a surgical resident, and he said it was most likely musculature because there will be blood/fever if there is something seriously wrong with the kidney. (Not medical advice, just what he told me). I think my tendinitis developed from poor hip flexibility and overuse.
Look up psoas stretches and work on improving flexibility in the hip region. Mine still flares up because I haven't taken off enough time to let it heal, but its manageable now that I know what it is. This is just all bro advice of course. If you experienced sharp pain, I'd see a doctor.

Hmm, fair enough. It hurts when I push, like when I bough (since I have a cold) I can feel it there.
Truth.
Yea, it's like this dull ache pain, which sucks. Thanks for the advice, it's not alarming, but I think I'll take this week off and start smolov again next week, just to make sure everything is OK. Appreciate it.Never Give Up, Never Surrender.

A stitch in time becomes nine. You don't know that something's not "broke" if you don't get it checked out, period, and you know what they say about people who assume. Guys are notorious for bring "too macho" to go to the doctor until it's too late. Some people are smart enough not to make that mistake, some obviously aren't.
