Couple of months back, while warming up on deadlift, I got in position, grabbed the bar and pulled (smooth, not jerking it) but the bar did not move off the floor. I pulled again, and it felt as if the bar was bolted to the floor. I knew something I stopped right away. No pain, no nothing. Just the weight felt so heavy.
The next day, I had major lower back problems where I could not support my weight if I leaned forward or tried to get up from leaning position. I got sharp pain in lower back, and sore/discomfort. I avoided any back or leg workout for couple of weeks till pain subsided, then went to my chiropractor. He noticed that I had swelling in my SI joins and pelvic tilt (side ways, one leg was longer than the other). He cracked my back, and pain subsided. After couple of sessions, I could bend over better with less comfort. He said I can go back to lifting fine.
I started last week with light weight type rehab, deadlift with 95lbs and hyper extensions. Went well, some discomfort on the hyper extensions first session, none on second. then 135lbs last week and was fine as well. I was also able to do squats with no problem.Y
esterday I upped it to 155lbs for 3 reps, then down to 95 for 5x10 in good form. Now the pain is back and I cannot support bending over beyond 20 degrees without back pain. I cannot lean over the sink to wash my face.
I can squat fine, no pain, but I cannot support my weight leaning forward. I have to get in a squat position and stand up not to feel the pain. This will last for few more days based on my first experience.
I'm thinking of going getting Xrays to see if something is messed up in my lower back, but I did not do so first time since the pain went away in a week.
Any ideas/input from experienced guys?
