Lower back has been bothering me for over a week now...

A little over a week ago I was squatting and believed I leaned too far forward or something and my bag started bothering me. I immediately stopped squatting after that and haven't since then. I went and got a message and she told me that problems where I am feeling it (lower right side of back, near hip) can actually be from something in the glutes... She said I had really tight glutes. Anyway, now it's a constant discomfort, not really agonizing pain, but I can feel it.

I'm just coming off my PCT (continuing with another 2 weeks of E-control). Any ideas on how I can getting my back to feel better? Anything like icy-hot will work? The message lady said I should apply heat to it. I tried a icy-hot patch for a day but I'm not sure that did anything...

If stretching, rest, and icy hot aren't working, I'd make an appointment with a chiro.

Well I've only been taking Sunday's off...don't want to lose them cycle gains. When I wake up I usually feel it a lot, perhaps I'm sleeping on it weird. I'll have to get some more icy hot to see if that helps. Would it kill me taking a week off from lifting? Finished my serm and everything. I know I'm fresh off post cycle so I don't want to lose everything.

It's only been a week. Likely just a strained muscle. It takes time... anything related to back issues for me has always been remedied with Good Mornings if you want to give those a try.

Yeah one of my buddies had me do some of those. Should I like hold in the bent over position for a while, or do like reps of them?

I just do a brief pause to help stretch my hammies and get them loose

Good Morning Howarth, how's the back doing?

Then by eve it's better?

If so, that's the way my forearms are now but stretching and hot/cold water helps. Hope it gets well, I need mine well as new cycle began today

youll have to let me know how the Epi-andro treats you. Not sure I sant to do another bulk cycle... I really don't like being this fat haha. Probably wait til my next cycle to cut though so I can get really low cal but still preserve muscle mass. Let me know if it does anything to your hair!

Ok, will do. I may log it. Well my wife shaves my head so no hair. Dunno about the other areas though LOL.

epsom salts baths
NSAID
and some stretching
..if you can handle the new age music in the backround and the fact that i didn't bless you with a hot chick in yoga pants...this is an excellent vid
