Through the years of working out, I’ve learned to live with most of the pain that comes along with it. But back pain is something totally different. It affects every waking moment. Fish oil pills have seem to help alot of my pains but hasn’t done anything for the back. I shrugged 455 yesterday and the back kills today. It eventually goes away though so it’s still livable at this point.

I’m a beginner but I seem to have a lot of lower back tension - whenever I bend over I can feel it crack a bit and i’m always stretching it out since it always feels tight. Clearly I really want to avoid injury, so lately i’ve been doing a lot of stretching and hip mobility work and just ordered a foam roller to help with that. Last time I deadlifted I also had a small pain at the insertion point on my left hip, which I’m chalking up to poor mobility.
Aside from the obvious lifting with good form, is there anything else in particular people would advise? Reverse hyperextensions?[/quote]
Use the foam roller regularly. Spend extra time on the ITB by rolling on the outside of each thigh. It will REALLY hurt at first, but you get used to it.

Sounds good, I’m really looking forward to getting mine in the mail so I can try this out. I have a computer job and a crappy office chair to boot so i’ll do anything to work out the stiffness. Gonna get me some tennis balls too.
I think the foam roller is to change tissue quality,not get used to the pain.
Z-Health R phase activation might help .

I have just recently started experiencing lower back pain. I think it is because I have been recently been deadlifting frequently. I hit a pr 4 days ago and my back is the only thing to not have recovered from it. I really hope this is not a serious set back, but I am prepared to deal with it.
If I lower the frequency of the deadlifting do you think my pain will alleviate?
What other suggestions do you guys have?
Thanks,
I wish you all the best

Who said anything about getting used to the pain? I said it hurts until you get used to it, meaning until your body adapts to the rolling (i.e. change tissue quality). But perhaps your clarification was needed.
