Back pumps or just a sore muscle?

[JoeySon]

How do You guys tell if it's back pumps or just a sore lower back from lifting? I strained my back a few months ago and every few weeks it will act up, how can I tell if it's back pumps from my cycle or just my sore lower back? Nothing excruciating just an annoying pain

Trust me you will know when its back pumps. It feels like an the muscles in your back are tearing eachother apart with rusty pliers.

If it was back pumps it wouldn't "pop up" every couple of weeks.
