I have genetic disc disease in my lower back. Should I keep doing StronLifts? My back did not bother me for the first 2.5 weeks, but it is now. Wonder if it is poor form or just me.

    The best advice would be to talk with a doctor about it. Form is also important. Take the time to focus on it. Even if it means going lighter. Bad form with heavy lifts is a big risk for unnecessary pain or worse. Make sure your doing things correctly. Judge the pain. Sharp shooting pain is never typically good. A dull pain isnt always necessarily bad but if any of it persists, you should have it checked out imo. Good luck!
