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.

Does it hurt from one side or both? If it's one side get yourself checked ASAP, could be a disc herniation or a simple lumbar strain.

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.

When did you start feeling the pain?Originally Posted by 4plate
Was there anything that prompted it?
Does it feel way worse when you get up in the morning or do you just notice it then?
What have you been doing stretch-wise for the area?

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.Originally Posted by MS0889
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:

You really should see a doc before going back to squats/dls.

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.
