Sore lower back

[Opi]

I assume its normal, we deadlifted a lot last night for the second time, it just feels sore. I cant bend a whole lot i squat if i need to reach something low :violin

yes it is normal as long as it is stiff sore and not "oh my god i pulled something sore" When I start going for singles I usually only DL about every 9 days as it seems to be more productive

You'll be alright. Could just be delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). I hope you're using strict form.

yeah its definitely stiff sore, not like i tore something. i guess its a good sore, just annoying

i have that right now... it feels like i could use a good popping in the lower back, like i want someone to massage me or step on it

today was DL day, and i went in feeling sore, becasue i had about a 5 second posative on standing shoulder press right before...

it was on my last rep of 3, and i paused with it right above my head...and i was pushing so hard my whole body started to shake while standing up, and i was trying to stabalyze my core, and i finally got the weight up, but the guy next to me looked at me all weird cause he probably thought i was having a seizure...guess i need to work on my core stability a bit more

It´s a feelin u going to get used in the future Opi. A hint , do ab work like every workout. Pain in low back might actually be caused from poor abdomen... Make the core top priority since it´s the power center of your whole body( squats etc..). Not a bad feeling really .... The muscles know now they have done something....

i thought working abs too much is bad

I recommend stretching. I know most people will say it's *** but it is good to stretch the muscle fascia. Stretch the muscle fascia and you give the belly of the muscles in any group more room to grow faster (in theory) and you can alleviate some of the soreness faster as well, plus reduce likelihood of injury in the future by being flexible.

wrong. U can´t train them too much. But if u use weights that might thicken the midsection. 10-15 min every other day or every training day will do the job...
