Not in a bad way I hope (your back)? Just sore from overhead pressing? There is a lot of spinal compression and a lot of back in general....

See note added about facepulls...

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

It looks like you bend your back lots while lifting that 160...might have stressed it there?

yeah, some back leaning back leaning. I hadn't watched the vids yet. That could def cause a bit of back strain. But it's controlled and the actual lower back does not chaning it's extension. It's mostly in the hips.

Don't forget to tighten your abs.

got it. ok.

no, not in a very bad way..its just that the soreness has been building...see, last workout i didnt wear my belt to overhead press and after that failed attempt at 160, when i tried again, i was able to nail it but i really strained my back....then, 2 days later i did squats and unilateral RDLs which were a strain too...then i did pull-ups which i thought would help stretch the muscles but instead it made it kinda tighter..then yesterday i did deads and today militaries...my lower back is just tight. not like hurting in a bad way but just tight and sore like how muscles get sore..

Sounds like your back muscles need a break to recover. It could pay to lighten up some things. Luckily, MP's will have to go lighter for a bit so that will help. And for the lighter work you need to ditch the belt. It should come as no suprise to anyone when they here "I didn't wear my belt and not my back hurts". That does not translate into "the belt is my saviour" it translates into "i am dependent on the belt or I will hurt my back".

Drop the uni RDL's for a while.

But yeah....this is the reality of real strength work. Your back bares the brunt of it.

Just watch in on the overhead press. You can't lose concentration. I don't expect when going for max loads that everthing will be perfect. When you are back to lighter loads you shouldn't have to lean back so much. Stop looking up at the bar...that's a habit that can be difficult to break but where the head goes the body follows.
