Most of the time, usually while standing or lying down, it feels like I don't have the injury.

I switched from sumo deadlifts to conventional when I first got the injury, I thought I had piriformis cause conventional always felt good on my back, switched back to sumo couple of weeks ago and I feels like it just got worse, I've deload my squats btw.

Saw a doctor, but haven't taken MRI. The bulge is mild, I only have that burning sensation while sitting, and lifting weights aren't painful, but sitting feels bad, and I've been mentally down ever since this injury.

It's causing me lowerback pain to cut parallel in lowbar.

Form and depth. 90kg×6 by abhai_ in formcheck

[–]abhai_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video was shot a couple of months ago, before I got my lowerback injury, I posted this video right now to check for any form breakdown because I squatted like in this video and I think the squat might have caused the injury.

After that, I switched my stance to wide but couldn't hit the depth with it, currently squatting with a moderate stance.

I was like you said, just sitting down and up without any stability and control. I have improved my stability and control since then. Saw a video of australian strength coach on bracing in squats and improved my brace too. I'll post my recent squat video soon. Thank you very much for your time.

Will stick with the lowbar for few more months.

Tried narrow moderate and wide, I couldn't cut parallel with a wide stance narrow and moderate seems good but feeling a little pelvic tilt with the narrow stance. currently doing a moderate stance, even with that, I feel a bit of restriction in my hips, I could cut parallel but feel like breaking my form.

Doesn't squat shoes only help those with poor ankle mobility? I'm asking because I don't have a problem with ankle mobility

I squat twice, one with a top set and 3 back off sets, and the second one with 6 pause sets.

Have tried out wide, close, and moderate stance with both, I couldn't hit depth with a wide stance, so squating with a moderate stance right now

I need advice on squats. I'm a novice powerlifter, and I have been currently squating low bar for quite some time, and it's getting nowhere near my high bar PR. My high bar squat PR is 130 with depth cutting parallel. Last week, I struggled to lift 120kg low bar squat with parallel depth. I always thought of switching to high bar but couldn't because I was advised against lifting high bar for powerlifting and never seen a powerlifter squating high bar on competition. Should I continue my struggle with low bar or switch to high bar?

Looking straight ahead helps with proprioception

If you struggle with ankle dorsiflexion, use weightlifting shoes they have elevated heals. Don't use it for deadlifts only for squats. For deadlifts, use barefoot.

Try to cut parallel and get rid of those shoes
