Squats: Lower back hurts

[JEDI]

I was squatting my body weight (140lbs including the bar) w/o any problems.

then i realized i wasnt doing it right. i was doing only a 3/4 squat:

After I recovered from the muscle pull/strain/soreness from doing a squat w/legs level, i only squatted the bar.

yesterday, i added two 25lb weights (90lbs total including the bar).

Today my lower back hurts.
WTF?!

This is tough to diagnose over the net. You have a lot of soft/connective tissue in your lower back. Is the pain between your hips on the lower part of the small of your back? if it is a dull pain it could be just the connective tissue. I have had issues with that myself. got fatigued and broke form on a set of squats. It would really bother me in certain positions. Mainly as I leaned forward to tie my shoes or get out of a chair.

I regularly go to a chiro, but it didn't help, so ended up going in for massage. This was the ticket. I can tell when i have back pain, I get two very noticeable knots right inside my hips. Just need to keep moderately active - straight rest made things worse for me and get a massage when the pain got over a 5.

with your previous post, you are coming back to early. it might take a few weeks to get back into things. it isn't so much the weight as the movement

Can you take a vid of your form from the side?

I'm wondering if when you get near the bottom of your squat you start to lean forward more.

Butt wink?

even if you can't do a video of you under a barbell, what about a video of you doing air squats. At least that gives us a look at your basics. Feet, knees, chest, head position.

Likely experiencing lumbar flexion. You need to take a form video to get any good, specific feedback. One from the side and one from the back.
