2-3 sessions of some yoga flows, static and dynamic stretches a day. Each “session” lasts 10-15 minutes. I’ve never had any of these issues until the test.
Be sure to stretch hammstrings, glutes and lower back A LOT.
It helps.
Of course. You wouldnt have gains also. With great gains comes great side-effects. With bigger and better potential comes also a need for more precise maintenance of your body.

I’ve been doing that. 2-3 times daily. Think these are just the side effects I’m genetically predisposed to. Thanks to everyone who offered help.

For me at least, it sucks, but not doing the things that make your back crank up for a week can really help.
i exchanged barbell rows to some seated cable bullshit because of this… my back gets enough pump on squats un deadlift days, if i do some rows on upper body days, it just accumulates so much more and gets in the way of my daily life.

I’ve done the exact same thing. I can’t barbell row and squat or deadlift the same day without back pumps. I have them right now, so I’m thinking that I’ll scale back my squats tomorrow. If I just keep pushing, I’ll have them for a month. If I back down, hopefully I’m good for deadlifts on Wednesday.
