Anyone else get horrific back pumps doing compound leg movements?

Even when I’m not on cycle I’ll get them just at work having to bend over in my patients room for too long.

@Kad1 I’m guessing it’s either over-activation to compensate or it the lower back itself that’s the weakness? I’ve had lower back problems since 16.

I know Jared feather also gets the same
Thing but I’m not moving anywhere near the same weight as him.
 
I used to when i was putting in the work/volume you do in the gym AND on my feet at work.

Not so much anymore.

When you think about the volume you put in plus at work walking and the biggy… bending over with patients
 
Yeah I guess that makes sense. I have increased volume a fair amount in the past couple weeks.

I mean i look like a crazy person laying down between sets 😂😂
 
This has bothered me for years and I have no good answer for you. Nothing I have ever tried has helped it. I thought it was do to cycle but like you been off it still happens. Some sort of over activation I think but can’t seem to isolate what or why. Mine can be extremely painful as well. I’ll bring up to the new doc this week and see what answer I can get
 
I’m just glad I’m not the only one. Getting dry needled regularly definitely lessened severity. I don’t know how you do CF, the back pumps were way worse when I did that.
 
I get them when I run, now that I’ve been either cruising or blasting for 18 months. Very rarely, I can make it a mile before the pumps get so bad I have to stop and stretch. Definitely limits how far I can go. Doesn’t affect me as much (or really at all) when sprinting.
 
They are. There have been times where I’ve had to stop and literally rolled around for 10 min in agony. Sooo painful
 
I believe it was the anabolic doc who states mast loses effectiveness over time with extended use. Just good for thought.
 
Yessss. I just started laying down between sets. Fuck it. Fuck all you. Stare at me. I’m dying over here. Hahaha it’s the worst when you know you’re gonna puke but the back is pumped. Do i lay down? Do I just puke on myself? 😂😂
