Sciatic nerve

[slinky77]

i was hack squatting the other night like my life depended on it, and i decided needed to hack squat 600lbs. I got through my set of 10, and had my back start to spasm. i waited 20 mins and the pain subsided so i finished my workout and went home.

next two days i was minorly sore but nothing nuts. then on the 3rd day my hamstrings began to hurt me so badly i had to lift my legs with my arms to get out of bed. the pain then moved into my lower hamstring + calves + shins. it is getting better little by little, but it stills hurts a TON.

I'm gonna call a chiro today, but does anyone here deal with this? what do u do? reps for help

invest in an inversion table and do bikram yoga twice a week.. lay off the weights for a bit or you will cause serious disc issues

Lots and lots of stretching

Stretching and rest for now. When you return to hack squats again, re-evaluate your form. Make sure your core is tight, your not rounding or lifting yoirnbutt at the bottom of the rep, etc.

Fortunately not but I wouldn't do anything strenuous before your appointment.
Pretty impressive weights on hack by the way.

If you are having those kinds of issues I'd lower the weight before you do irreversible damage. Take it from someone that knows. I went balls out on squats and deadlifts and now I have nothing left of my disc between L5 to S1 and dont do either anymore

Know your limitations

I always get lower back pains on leg day after squats .. inversion table has been a life saver
