I started going back to the gym after feeling like I recovered from my low back injury from deadlifts. I went in for my second workout of the week and did deadlifts. As I went heavier on the weight, I noticed my low back was starting to feel it again, but I was still okay. What should I do? And how do I know when I can go back to lifting like normal with no low back pain?
I'm a fairly new resistance trainer with less than a year of experience. In the past 7 months, I've hurt my upper back/neck, which has healed through rest and chiropractic care. More recently, my lower back/sciatic nerve has been bothering me. I don’t feel like I’ve been squatting or dead lifting anything super heavy, and it doesn’t hurt while I am doing it. I also have worked with a trainer in the past, so I don’t feel like my technique is that off. I really don’t want to keep stopping my workouts and lose momentum. Should I just go lighter until I stop having the discomfort? Are there any other suggestions? I’ve honestly considered physical therapy to see if I’m moving in a wrong pattern.
