So today i thought i'd play about and see what happened/made it worse. Snatch squats qith empty bar seem to show a lack of flexability in my hips, couldn't get paralel let alone deep. Does this sound like it could be causeing the pain in my back? | ||

 Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | I have hgad no end of grief with this. I made a thread on it, look in my profile on thread history to see it, I described in detail what made it worse/better, you may have the same thing I think I have solved it now, after months of pain and 2 trips to the physio. I think it is just tight piriformis, which pinches the sciatic nerve and causes pain in the last couple of inches of depth. It's unbearable, if it happens I have to instantly dump the weight. Always at the bottom of the squat just coming up out the hole good luck | ||

 strong arse session Member 1113, 1963 posts SQ 180, BP 145, DL 222.5547.5 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | When I experienced this it was down to an issue with my quadratus lumborum (QL) I found this to be the most effective stretch but theres plenty more around that might help if that one doesnt. | ||

 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | i find stretching the hamstrings everyday plus Hip and glute stretching helps me loads. another thing i do is to squat down som my hamstring are resting on my Calfs and sit there for a while i repeat it a few times and it seems to help me before i squat. | ||

Will also help you maintain good form too. Same for the core but it will so support your spine | ||

I get lower left back ache when running, I pulled it last year at Yorkshires U90, I miss loaded a deadlift 10kg heavier on left side a couple weeks ago and didn't notice until i tried to pull it and tweaked my back | ||
