VERY FRUSTRATED guy right now. Did squats tonight and my lower back tightened up real quick. SHould I strengthen my lower back first before i get back into squats?

Sounds like you need to strengthen your lower back AND work on your form. You should be sticking your ass out and looking straight ahead almost up slightly to keep from hunching over...it should feel almost exaggerated.

do be sure to STRETCH the lower back between squat sets. I tend to hang from the chin bar and kind if decompress a bit. seems to keep my lower back loose

When I first started squatting, my back not only tightened up, but I was in pain...for a while. It wasnt until I strengthened my low back that I was able to squat pain free.

Im gonna just suck it up....its a maxed feeling not a pain feeling so ill just tough it out till my back gets stronger from the squats.

Thanks
