Alright guys, I need your help. Any ideas on how I can get through a leg workout without my lower back pumping/cramping/killing me? I can't go overly heavy due to a completely fucked left knee, but take for instance today. I supersetted light squats (185x20) with wide stance leg press (3 plates per side for 20) and by my third set I couldn't get my lower back to stop hurting. It's not my spine, it's my erector muscles on either side of my spine that swell, cramp, and generally hurt like a motherfucker. On back day I go heavy once per month on rack pull deads and wind up hitting 500+ for reps on my last set, withOUT these lower back issues. Only on leg days, (which I just started doing again after recovering from surgery a few months back), do I get this debilitating issue. Form is spot on, so any ideas? Thanks in advance.
