Anyone have advice on what to do with killer back pain on leg day? Consistent pain even when not lifting is what I've delt with now for over a month. I can barely squat some days and leg press is out of the question.

Go and see a physio and fix the underlying problem.
3 weeks ago I started squatting again after 6 months of only leg extensions and seated curls. It took about 7-8 weeks after my first physio appt to squat but wished I'd been to see one earlier.
Thank you sir. I've thought about a chiropractor first? I got a compression fracture a few years back and I think it's coming back to haunt me. Pain is more severe sitting down. Makes sense to me.Quote:

Is that the same as an inversion table?Quote:

Yeah I've stopped heavy lifting in legs and replaced with low weight high reps. It's helped but still in serious painQuote:
