Hi everyone, was hoping to get a critique on my squat.
I’ve been feeling a bit of pain in my low back (not soreness) so I started using my belt and I don’t get it during my sets now.
I feel like I’m leaning forward a bit much, but when I try to keep my chest more upright to prevent that, I often feel like I’ll fall backwards.
Tips appreciated!
Great squats!
The cause of your low back pain could be a training load issue (too much volume and/or weight).
Weightlifting belt can alleviate the pain, but I wouldn’t think that using a belt every single session would work as a long term solution.
Thank you! Maybe some rehab low back stretches on off days would help.
No.

The pain will most likely disappear on its own if you stay patient and autoregulate the training loads.
