Hi guys
I stupidly pulled a muscle in my lower back from doing squats on Sunday morning. Bad technique as I went to stand and so my own stupid fault and the worst part is I have no idea why I stood up the way I did so am kicking myself.
Anyway, I've been using deep heat, hot showers and wheat bags which is helping a lot and I'm not feeling anywhere near as stiff and sore as I was, but I'm definately not back to normal.
I am the type of person who gets straight back into it rather than taking any time off and I finished the rest of my workout on Sunday even after I hurt myself, just being a bit more careful. That said, my back didnt really start to hurt until about 5 hours after I did it....
Anyway, I would normally do some weight training at the gym tomorrow and I'm dying to go. I dont like missing a session because its always so much harder when you skip a few days and get back into it.
Is it ok to go do you think and just be a bit careful about the amount of weight I use where my back is involved?
Or would you not go for a week or so until its totally back to normal?
