I've had low back pain since last week. Discovered if I tense my abs really hard during the squat, I feel no pain in my back at all. Sweet!

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
