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.

First time I ever hurt it I was scooting a chair in. Something I'd done tens of thousands of times before and since. But that time... The drive back home from college was not a fun one. I could barely walk for almost a solid week.
