A few weeks ago I did a few sets of deadlift heavier than i had done in a long time. I felt a slight tweak in my lower back but like most injuries i have experienced in the weight room, it got much worse later when i didn't have a thousand pounds of blood flowing through the muscle. fast forward to a few days ago and it got so bad I actually started to feel dumbbell standing lateral raises in my lower back, and the next day i could barely stand. Since then it has gotten slightly better.
I'm just not sure I should really call it an injury. I can barely even sit down without being in some pain and it hurts more on one side of my body than another, but isn't that my goal? I'm trying to tear up my muscles so they grow, did I just really do a good job? Is this an injury or is it just another day of what I have to go through to build the body I want?
I've been avoiding training the area (it feels like a hip flexor so thats lower back through the flutes and into the quads) and stretching seems to help a bit. What would people on this site do in my situation, completely shut down? avoid squats/ deadlifts and focus on other parts of the body for a while? Some sort of painkillers? Ignore it completely and just keep hitting every area? Something else?
