Hey guys
Well I trained on Monday and after I finished squats I felt my lower back all cramped up and like a throbbing bone pain (I think it was either from the butt wink or leaning too far forward during squats)...
My flexibility is pretty poor (according to my osteopath), he said that I have really tight glute and hip flexors...
I have tried everything to adjust me leaning too far forward such as; wider stance, narrower stance, angle of feet, low bar (can't get the hang of it as it doesn't sit right on my back), high bar all in different combinations...
Every time I squat it effects my other lifts the past 2 weeks as my back feels like shit (as I said before it is like a throbbing bone pain I THINK)...
I spent all of Wednesday trying to figure out my squat technique through different ways of what I read on the net (Oliver gave quite a few suggestions too which I failed at)...
I don't think the buttwink is causing the lower back pain as much as what the leaning forward would be...
Here's a video of how I normally squat (HIGH BAR, shoulder width stance, 35degrees);

Anyways these are my thoughts on resolving the issues;
1. The osteopath has given me a daily stretching routine to do to improve my hip flexors and glute flexibility
2. Regular appointments with the osteopath
3. Invest in this for when I get my home gym - Safety Squat Bar Olympic 220cm
I was reading up a fair bit about them and what I have interpreted is that the weight is shifted forward so you can lean back and have a erect straight posture, though the weight is focused more so on the quads (as it is like a front squat yet the bar is on your back)...
Just curious as to what you guys think as I am struggling pretty bad in my other lifts (especially deadlifts) as the pain is annoying as fuck, and think I will develop serious injuries if I keep going...
Please educate me ausbb!
