@ thing.about four years ago I was lay in bed on my stomach.
My daughter who was about 4 years old at the time,came in the
Bedroom and stood over me.she said something like "hey dad watch this"
Jumped in the air and Dive bombed my lower back.I was half asleep
And relaxed and not expecting it.it's been knackerd since.always slightly
Sore,but if I try to squat,deadlift more weight to quickly ( ego )
I feel like a cripple for a month or two afterwards.

@dan.planned to up the weight slightly every session.
But realistically this won't last very long,as you can see from
My last two workouts.I'm starting to fail already.got to think
Long term.I'm going to try lowering the weight a bit,and do
8x2 then the next workout will be 7x2 - 1x3 and the workout
After that will be 6x2 - 2x3 ect until I reach 8x3 then increase
The weight slightly .hopefully my body will cope better with that.
What do you think !

Try less weight with a few more reps until your back is better that's what I would do
