    Squats and deadlifts. Hurts going up stairs and bending over the sink.
    A few weeks ago I squatted 4,3,3 @330lbs

    Not at all. I just figure they'll tell me to stop lifting.

    Take a listen to this podcast. It helped me feel better about pulling a muscle in my back and lifting my way through it. Basically, squats were held at my working weight for a few workouts and deadlifts were deloaded dramatically and worked back up. I was pretty early in my LP too.
