Full Lumbar Flexion at bottom of the squat?
Hey Now!
I've been doing the SS novice LP for 3 months now. All my lifts are progressing great and I've packed on a ton of weight (+50 lbs since I started). The only lift that is lagging behind is my squat. My squat was progressing fine, I started at 135 day one and was up to 335x3x5 when I started to experience intense lumbar spine pain during/after squatting. This wasn't normal muscle soreness: It felt like hot needles were sticking into my lumbar spine. I know it was caused by my squats because I have deloaded my squat while progressing my other lifts and the pain has slowly subsided.
After watching a ton of footage of myself squatting; my observation is that I'm going into full lumbar flexion in order to get to parallel in the squat. Is this an accurate observation or is there something else that's causing me issues?
