So I've been having this pain in my lower back/glute, but mostly glute.
It hurts when I stretch and go through warm ups through squats, but by the time I get to my work sets I don't feel it. The next day in the morning it hurts a bit. Same thing when I deadlift, after I do like 2-3 light sets it doesn't hurt.
The exact area is in the blackish lol.
I'll add more info when I get home.

You know you are a powerlifter when:
You check your squat depth when sitting on the toilet.
You work on perfecting your squat explosiveness when getting off the toilet.

it could be a lot of things ranging from simple tightness to a slight strain. just take it easy on the squatting for a week and get on a good stretching/rolling routine.
"on the bech press i usually start off with 205 doing it 5 times then once i ad my usual extra 5 pounds on i can barely do it twice. How can i increase my chest cardio? so i can rep heavy weight easier" -dc1992hp
come by and check out my log. I'm racing to a 275x5 bench and 185x3 strict press with comps.

I first felt it about 4-5 weeks ago. It was so bad that I couldn't squat 135. I took the next week off, just basically RICEd it. When I got back it was still there but very minimal and it went away after stretching and warmups. I took off about 10% from all of my lifts and worked back (on ss btw). To describe the pain when I'm sitting on a chair and lean down to tie my shoes or reach my left toe I feel the pain in the area I shaded. When I sit back up and the glute contracts I feel a bit worse pain.
Edit:I have not been stretching it, I remember reading that it could make it worse. Should I be stretching it?You know you are a powerlifter when:

My dad is a doctor, I haven't told him yet though...pretty stupid of me. I'll see what he says. I really hope its nothing serious. I'm considering just taking 2 weeks off, RICE + Ibuprofen.

After reading some articles about disc hernias, I doubt that is what I have. Seems more like a slight lumbar strain. I should also add that I don't feel the pain until I reach parallel or close to it.
This picture is a more accurate representation of my pain except on the left side only.
