Some people have bad backs, it's just unfortunate. I trashed my sciatic nerve warming up with 95lbs on front squats last Wednesday with perfect form. Pain finally dissipating Tuesday of this week. Don't get me wrong I'm all for strengthening, but I can't just come in here and bust out 500lbs on the deads like I was a few years back. Ever since I messed something up 2 and a half years ago I have to be careful in the gym. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Count yourself lucky if you don't have to worry about this bullshit, most frustrating thing in the world.
