Anyone else feel pain in the lower back after deadlifting ONLY when resting?

[pyaarawala]

If I deadlift at the gym, go home, and just relax, like go on the computer, watch TV, sit around, then my lower back would feel so sore and uncomfortable. But if I have some work to do and am on my feet doing stuff, there's no pain/soreness and I feel perfectly fine. Anyone else have this issue? I don't think my form is an issue, but just in case here's a video in this form check thread I posted a week or so ago.

I've had it happen a few times. I would not worry abut it, unless it becomes pain ALL the time that's not from DOMS.

I felt that about a year ago and I've had a tight lower back ever since. Like the man above says, it's probably nothing but I would advise you to stretch your lower back, hamstrings and glutes regularly just as a precaution.

It's probably just DOMS, like Jason said.

Foam rolling will most likely help you out. Really roll your back and legs and the soreness (I'm guessing it's really more of an ache/tiredness?) will subside.

Most likely the 'why' is due to a weak core. Start doing some ab-training ie. not crunches x 1 billion. Do some weighted heavy ab-work. And work on engaging your core when you do heavy compound lifts.

Thanks for the responses. I started doing Joe Defranco's Limber 11 twice a week. Never really foam rolled the lower back because I thought it's kinda useless? And how exactly am I supposed to stretch the lower back?

I do 50-60 rep body weight back raises at the end of my deadlift day, works great to work it out in the opposite direction.

I get lower left back pain when I do conventional deadlift. 2 different doctors have told me my sacroiliac joint needs adjusted. Chiropractor says 8 adjustments with no lifting using the lower back for a good while.
