Was setting up for some deadlifts at the gym and wrecked my lower back. Just bent over to set the barbell on the ground and felt a hitch.

Hoped it would go away overnight with some pain meds and a muscle relaxer but it's worse today. I can barely fucking walk. Fuck me.

Any tips on preventing lower back injuries? I have been trying to do back extensions on a machine. Probably not as often as I should I guess.

Shit, it's just that easy?

I think the first time I pulled it I was 22 so maybe it's not. It's been a recurring thing for me ever since. Usually once a year or so but this is the third time this year. Second time in three months even.

Of course I've been working lately so maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

Once you reach a certain age, it doesn't matter how you do it - it's wrong.
