So last night I was doing squats and when I was warming up at 295 lbs on my first set i started to go down and felt a pop in my mid back. I was able to finish my workout for the day but today my back was real tight just wondering if anyone on here as ever had a injury like this if they did if it was serious or not?
Thanks
Why the fuck was 295 lbs your first set?
did you warm-up to do that 1 set at 295lbs or you just slamed 295lbs on the bar and try to squat it without warming-up?
Warmup = empty bar. Don’t be a hero.

My bad…wording sucked when I posted that I was in a hurry
I was just getting started into my actual lifting I warmed up with 135, the 295 was my first set.
I had already stretched and stuff but not as much as I usually do b/c I was running late and I wasn’t trying to hold up my lifting partner. On better note though my back has loosened up a lot since then think I just strained something scared the shit out of me that night though.
Scott Cartwright squatted 1160 in competition.
His warmup goes like this: bar, one plate, two plates, three plates, etc…
There is no reason YOU should be making jumps that big.

I couldn’t agree more, I know a few 1,000lb squatters and the biggest jump I ever see them make is 90lbs
Thanks for the advice fellas
If it acts up again or feels weird, go see a doctor; back and neck injuries should not be taken lightly.
