How much should squats ache the lower back, if at all? Sometimes aches after a set, and more so the more reps in a set, or if I'm doing paused squats. I'm quite sure my form is ok.
And I'm wondering if it's just a repercussion of an injury I had years ago (sledging accident; twisted lower back muscles and had trapped nerves for like half a year).
When I go running, sometimes my nerves in lower back play up (not too bad 99% of the time, rarely it's quite bad).
