Decided to squat with 60kg which isn't much but I've generally avoided squats as I've had a similar issue before.
I felt that my lower back is weak anyway but basically I felt a bit of a twinge and decided to stop them. Fast forward 6-8 hours I could barely stand up, and the pain with certain movements was awful.
It's been about 3 days since and I've been taking painkillers but the bruising is still there obviously with some pain in certain positions.
What do you think might have caused this and should I give up squats.
