I hurt my back and don't really know how long i should wait to get back into training. Some info from my log:
Quote:
I hurt my lower back during the squats. At the 3rd rep op the 2nd set i felt something weird/mildly painful but kept going. I didn't finish the 5th rep though cause it felt very weird.
It hurts a ton when I bent over now and i'm quite sure it's cause of my huge butwink (it's at the exact spot where my spine bends when i'm in a deep squat).
Than i took it easy last week, did at least two hamstring+glute stretching sessions everyday and it got better by the day. I did some Swings today and now it hurts again. Not as bad as when it first happened, but much worse than before the swings.
The pain is at this spot right above my glutes, almost exactly at the spot where the elastic band in my boxers sit. It's on both sides of the spine, but not really in the middle.
When i sit it barely bothers me, when i stand up or bend over it hurts.
I have no experience at all with this, how long do u usually take it easy with the training for something like this? Should i be really careful or is pushing it a little better? Is pain a good indicator if i should take it easy or should i just train through it?
