Hi,
I recently started weight training program, about a week old.I've been practicing martial arts for sometime and have decided to lift weights for some strength and muscle gains along with a need to strengthen my core.
Last evening, I did my round of Squats, Chinups, Overhead press, prone bridges and ended with deadlifts.I warmed up for 5 minutes before I started with my workout.
During the overhead press, I started developing the sore lower back which is natural since I my lower back is weak and this is why I have adopted this program.Now, during the deadlifts I think I had a bad form though I tried not to. I think my spine was a little rounded.I think I also didn't unlock my knees as I came down with the weights.The soreness didn't increase much but I decided to stop after 3X5.
After I was done removing the weights from the rod, I tried to stand up but I felt a sort of a slip in my muscle at the left side of my lower back along with sharp pain in that 3 inch area.This was followed by tingling sensation throughout my left leg( thigh+calf)
I am not sure if I have pulled a muscle or it's a muscle strain or something but it hasn't subsided completely.This morning it seemed a little better but during the day with work, it's back.
I lifted 30KG(instead of 27.5) on the squats and overhead presses and 50KG(instead of 45) on the deadlifts.I know this is not strictly according to the program but I dont have the exact weights for it and I didn't have a problem lifting these weights at all during the 5x5s
The blue square is where I am feeling the pain.
The pain is dull but gives me sharp pains if I try to bend down or if I try to twist AND bend down to the right.Could any of you what's really going on?Is the Psoas that is getting affected? The pain is nowhere near my spine.It's just the chunk of mass which is giving me sharp pains but I have a bad feeling about this.The tingling still persists in my leg.
I apologize to be too descriptive and taking your precious time but I would really appreciate some insight on this.
