Well anyway, the stretching should help but you know when something is tightening up stretching is more a palliative thing rather than a cure. In other words it doesn't address WHY it's doing that. When I had a similar problem with my back I figured it was a case of simple fatigue (from an endurance standpoint). What I would recommend is more core statics and things that will address endurance in the lower back. As well as the stretching to loosen it up, of course.

Great stuff and I hope the back feels better.

Yeah, I know it's a core problem. I'm making sure that the next two weeks are going to address that in my workouts with more core and KB work. But I'm feeling much better and from the stretching, KB mobility work and not squatting real heavy, I'm giving myself a chance to heal up and work more efficiently, i.e., less injuries.
