How do I lift with chronic acute back pain?
I used to be fit when I was an athlete in school. That was years ago. Now I'm fat from drinking beer all the time. I've been working with free weights for the past month trying to bulk up. I've been doing mostly curls and squats. Problem is I've got a really bad back. It's started hurting two years ago when I got desk job. Now it's just chronic, daily acute back pain and it's fucking killing me. I'm concerned once I start doing other more complex workouts with heavier weights it's going to ruin my back. What do? Are there any stretching exorcises I can do to help my back? Or is it a question of posture? Or should I go to a fucking doctor already because my back is killing me?

What does pain feel like?
Pain only local or goes Down leg?
Where does it come from
What are your stats and lifestyle
What triggered it?
Try the mckenzie extension and flexion, which improves pain if any? Post pic of posture
Btw it cant be chronic and acute

Do deadlifts.

son
>only doing curls & squats
I thought the meme was curls & bench
No, lifting is actually good for your back if you use good form. Expecially rounding your back when squatting hurts bad the next day. And it took me quite a while to be flexible enough and develop my own squat form to prevent this

The pain feels sharp and located in one spot (middle of the back, spine). It doesn't really travel. I try to maintain good posture, but working at a desk for hours you eventually lose focus and hunch over. It only started since I got this job. I can literally crack my back several times a day.

U dont tell much man but id say start Working out. Do some back and core Work to stabilize spine, Work transversus abdominis, multifidi and rotatores

Not sure if this is the case for you but tight hamstrings can add to back pain. Do lots of hamstring stretches, even if it doesn't help your pain it's still good to be flexible.

>ITT : being fat and lazy is ruining my life, but instead of fixing it I'd rather complain about it
Deadlifts will fix your shit, but you sound like a little bitch.

chronic and acute are mutually exclusive
