[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right there with you. Did something to my back on Saturday while doing squats. SQUATS. How?! It is still sore. I have a history of back issues related to very tight SI muscles, so walking and stretching for the next week for me.  [/quote]

Back injuries are actually commonly associated with squats. It usually happens when you do not stabilize correctly and round your back at the bottom of the movement. It is very possible to sustain an injury even on an air squat if your form is crap and weighted squats are always risky.[/quote]

I understand that, but I've been doing this for 20 years and pay a lot of attention to form. With all the back problems I had 10+ years ago, I spent a lot of time in PT etc. working on my form, making sure I use my core to stabilize myself well etc. Obviously I had a lapse. It's so annoying.  [/quote]

Sorry to hear that. It is my nightmare too. I have been working on my squats for so long, including with trainers and a physical therapist. They are finally starting to really click and I would hate to end up with an injury. I hope yours will heal fast.[/quote]
