We'll it happened again! Woke up this morning and could hardly get out of bed with lower back pain. Almost 8 weeks working something similar to the Stronglifts 5x5 and I beleive due to inproper form WHAMY! Does anyone have any suggestions for alternate exercises while I try to recover from this injury?

    Your best option is to see a physio.

    Agreed. I started PT for my back a few weeks back. Best thing ever.

    Back pain is no joke. If you can't make it to the PT, research ways to strength the part of the back that may need it (muscle imbalances) and work around it. Also, researching proper form for movements. Throw your pride out the door, go to low weight and focus on form. It will be frustrating, but let it heal.
